Hi!

What kind of processor does it have?

If you're using a PIC Microcontroller, there is a simple Smalltalk to PIC
assembler translator at http://www.huv.com/uSeeker/smalltalk/pic.html

With 8K of ROM, unfortunately, you won't be doing much of any
Smalltalking, especially with Squeak.  Squeak requires a lot of space, and
a 512K ROM is probably the smallest space in which you could get a
VM+Image with a handful of useful features.
