(my STM32G473 controller has a so-called CORDIC interface for

want to use this for my Lua.
Using logarithmic identities, you can change b ^ x to K ^ (x * logK(b))
It looks more complicated, but if K is a convenient value, such as 2 or 10 or e, it becomes much easier.
For example, if K is e, then b ^ x = exp(x * ln(b))
If you have exp and ln in your library, you’re in luck, though you may need to deal with some edge cases.
