If I understand what you are after, I think the best way to use D 
in the way you describe is to compile your board's BSP code in C 
and then link to it from D (http://dlang.org/interfaceToC.html)

You'll still need to implement your own minimal D runtime to get 
things to compile, though, and many of the D language features 
will give you linker errors or runtime errors if used and not 
implemented in your runtime. The links others have already 
provided in this thread should give you what you need to get 
started, if you haven't already lost interest.

Bottom line:  it's possible, but not pretty.
