Description

I was writing a tutorial on how to create get started with embedded systems using Ada. My example worked until I noticed some of the GPR files still use the old deprecated RTS suffixes such as ZFP, SFP, and FULL in the GPR file name. All references of of the old RTS should be renamed to use the new light, light_tasking, and embedded suffixes. It will eliminate a lot of confusion an becomes one less thing to explain.
