MODERATORS
 

We just finished the Ada Monthly Meetup and here are the topics that were discussed:

  • The recording of the presentations given during the Ada Developers Workshop 1 with their slides are now available
  • Stemming from (@jgrivera67) J. German Rivera’s talk about HiRTOS and him working the Renode hardware emulation tool, @ohenley did a nice article about getting started with Renode and Ada programs! Check it out!
  • And actually, since the last stable version of Renode, v1.15.2, released 3 weeks ago, there is a built-in demo/example of HiRTOS!
  • @simonjwright created a PR for SVD2Ada for it to support dimensioned register ports!
  • @Max has been working on creating an Ada toolchain for the XTENSA architecture. It is now officially part of Alire! Check the forum post for more info.
  • A reminder that the Ada Crate of the Year Award is still taking place!
  • We had a discussion on whether there should be a proposal for an Ada Devroom for next year’s FOSDEM.
  • There will be a forum thread about this topic “shortly”.
  • With the “demise” of SIGAda, the proposal of the creation of the Ada Users Society is moving along, which was approved in the General Assembly (GA) of Ada-Europe this past month of June.
  • The next GA of Ada-Europe will be taking place in a couple of weeks, the next 26th of September. Remember to ask for the meetup link if you would like to join!
  • We had a couple of discussions during the meetup and afterwards regarding some doubts and timeline/availability of the new Ada Users Society.
  • A complete working Alire manifest has been created for the WolfSSL library 2.
  • Though it is not in Alire’s index! It still needs some work, but you can already start using it!
  • @stcarrez and @Max have been working on Ada-Enet, an embedded network stack written in Ada.
  • It is now available in Alire and it has a few STM32 drivers already!
  • @Max also has an ethernet stack written in Ada, which has also been added ot Alire
  • @simonjwright updated us on the state (and struggles) of the Ada support on the newly released RP 2350 CPU 1.
  • Progress is good and small examples are already running on the chip. Interrupts are still a problem to be solved :slight_smile:
  • @AJ-Ianozi reminded us about the latest Yet Another Static Site (Generator) and its features, which recently had its 3.1.0 release

That is all that was discussed today!
