Probably just a matter of writing the right firmware and building the right hardware. I don’t think anything is stopping you from doing that.

The problem with microcontrollers is that code isn’t easily portable, so this device is stuck with its hardware.

Yeah I wasn't too concerned about the hardware side of things, I was just curious about finding software because I don't really know anything about pentesting. Guess I'll keep looking around.
