Hey,

It may be good to ask on the IREE mailing list too, just for higher visibility.

It sounds like you are asking if IREE can be used on an embedded/bare system, e.g., like the tinyIREE approach (paper on arxiv). But perhaps you’ve already seen that work and are asking a different question.

Note if it’s a custom architecture, then you’d need to utilize some lowerings somewhere (well custom VM could be used but that really depends on overheads/ granularity of offload)
