Make with Ada competition showcases its winners

[ad_1]

Make with AdaThe compo was organised by Adacore, a software development tools company, and there were some very interesting entrants (you an see the prokject logs via the links below).

The first prize of €5000 went to Stephane Carrez for his EtherScope monitoring tool that analyses Ethernet traffic. Running on an STMicroelectronics STM32F746 board (Cortex M7), it reads Ethernet packets, performs real-time analysis, and displays the results on a 480×272 touch panel. The EtherScope interface can filter the results at different levels and report various kinds of information.

“I’ve been using Ada for several years on a variety of Open Source projects,” said Carrez. “But this was my first experience with Ada on a bare metal target, and that gave me the opportunity and motivation to learn more about the Ada Ravenscar profile.”

“Receiving First Prize for the EtherScope project was a great honour to me, and I want to thank AdaCore for sponsoring this competition. Developing Open Source software in Ada on ARM has proved to be rewarding in multiple ways.”
