That depends on exactly what you're trying to do.  If you're 
trying to create a parser that runs on your host computer and 
generates source code to be compiled into a program that runs on 
your target microcontroller, then StringTemplate could be a good 
way to go, or you could just hand-roll some useful output from 
embedded actions or a generated AST.

If you're trying to create a parser that itself runs on your 
target microcontroller, then your best bet would be to use ANTLR's 
C target, since almost everything can compile standard C.  (If 
you've got a higher-end microcontroller you might be able to use 
Java instead.)
