That has to be eLua rather than Lua. Lua requires an operating system
(but can be compiled and run on any known platform). eLua will boot on
microprocessor's bare metal. The two are very closely related and
share a lot of code, but are quite different because eLua runs on bare
metal. E.g., eLua requires its own add-on modules and can't use the
standard Lua's modules. See <http://www.eluaproject.net/>.
