Well, there is nothing in Smart that would avoid it from working on an 
embedded system. It just happens that someone needs to have it 
installed, and the given distribution needs to have a repository format 
understandable by Smart.

The only thing I could think that could be a problem is memory 
consumption. Not sure how much memory you have in that embedded system, 
neither how much tweaked is the python in there to make Smart work nicely.
