I want to use Kotlin/Native on a microcontroller running FreeRTOS with ARM Cortex. Is that currently supported/possible?

You can use FreeRTOS if you make a glue library. Be careful with the size of the stdlib on embedded!

FreeRTOS too heavy abuses #define machinery, so generate kotlin cinterop for it would be very tricky task.
It was main reason why zephyr was selected for experimenting with embedded targets.

The only option here is interop not directly, but via some shim C layer like Rust’s FreeRTOS-rust/shim.c at master · lobaro/FreeRTOS-rust · GitHub
