Description
Hi HN, we wanted to share our open source ONNX-to-C code generator. It translates ONNX models into C code for deployment on embedded systems. We developed it for use with emmtrix Code Vectorizer (https://www.emmtrix.com/tools/emmtrix-code-vectorizer) which optimizes the generated code for various embedded architectures. The ONNX-to-C code generator can however also be used standalone to generate plain C code. In contrast to many other tools, it makes deployment trivial since the generated code is fully standalone and no additional runtime is required.

Could you build this?
No Developing an ONNX-to-C compiler requires deep compiler engineering, embedded systems knowledge, and writing architecture-specific tensor/math kernels and vectorization routines.
What it would actually take: A production version requires an intermediate representation (IR) compiler framework (similar to TVM, MLIR, or IREE) that parses the ONNX protobuf graph, performs graph optimization (operator fusion, dead code elimination, memory planning), and generates tight, vectorizable C99 code. The hard part is generating memory-constrained, zero-allocation C execution paths and mapping tensor math to SIMD/vector intrinsics (e.g. ARM NEON, RISC-V Vector). It requires specialized compiler engineers and embedded software developers.
