Off device cross-compilation of the Lua interpreter binary, but no bytecode compilation -- it was interpreted Lua from what I can recall (10 years ago). Can't tell what's possible now, and I feel like a microcontroller might be too much for Lua.

If anyone wants to be paid for porting https://github.com/nodemcu/nodemcu-firmware firmware to new ARM hardware + ethernet (not wifi) let me know. Other ongoing embedded work available.
I’m thinking about trying to add Lua support to a small motor controller to provide some more advanced capability inside the control loop. But I don’t actually have any experience doing this, and I can’t even decide if I want to try to compile the bytecode on the device or do that off the device and push the blob to the device.
It’s pretty capable microcontroller, STM32G4.
