eLua is an effort to bring the Lua programming language in the embedded world (MCUs). It is meant to be a complete MCU development environment. It currently runs on a number of ARM variants, as well as Cortex (and i386 as a proof of concept). Version 0.4 was just released, this is the changelog:
* Added support for LPC2888 (preliminary)
* Added PWM module
* New samples: TV-B-Gone (power off your TV), piano (play piano from your PC keyboard), pwmled (fade led on/off), all based on the new PWM module
* Added support for multiple memory spaces (this can be used to take advantage of both the internal CPU RAM and external RAM chips on boards that have external RAM)
* Autorun: if ''autorun.lua'' is found in the filesystem, it is executed before starting the shell
* Added ''pack'' (binary data packing/unpacking) and ''bit'' (binary operations) modules
* Build system updated, easier to use, now it knows how to handle ''boards'' as well as CPUs
* Modified the existing platform modules to take less RAM and to report an error when an unavailable resource is requested
* Project documentation updated
