Lua is a widely-used and easily approachable scripting language designed to be embedded into larger code-bases. It is frequently used in video game modding & development, and enables amateur coders to modify the behavior of an existing system. Applying this paradigm to embedded systems creates many opportunities, but also creates a larger surface for software errors to cause irreparable hardware damage. This risk can be mitigated with careful system design using the protections offered by zephyr's MPU-backed userspace. Compiling and running Lua code in userspace enables end-users to directly customize device behavior with their own software while still guarded by manufacturer-provided safety and security guarantees.
