BoxLang on ESP32

Overview

MatchBox can compile and deploy BoxLang scripts directly to ESP32 microcontrollers using --target esp32. BoxLang runs on FreeRTOS with a custom task stack, and bytecode is stored in a dedicated flash partition. Full firmware flashing is only needed on first setup; subsequent deploys update only the bytecode (~1 second).

Prerequisites
