Hello world Ada-example on RaspberryPi

Hi Jerome, 

Not sure that I understand what you mean.

That's the file which is used to setup the Ada-main task in the examples. 
If there is a call to delay I would assume that there is a computation like this:
TICKS_TO_WAIT = DELAY_IN_US / MICROSECONDS_PER_TICK
Then the thread will suspend for the correct number of TICKS, but somehow this does not seem to work correctly, because it results in delays 10*longer than expected if set to 1000 us per tick and has the correct delay for 10000 us per tick(see below). Question is why? Not sure if that can be a problem with the bsp.

Regards,

   Jan

The Makefile of the hello_world program adds a define for the stack size to the CFLAGS and later includes the Makefile.shared. However there CFLAGS is set to "" in the beginning effectively deleting the stack size set previosly. I commented this line as well (don't know if it will have side effects in later examples).
