AVR: https://wiki.dlang.org/D_on_AVR
With recent official LDC packages, you don't need to build LLVM 
and LDC yourself, AVR is supported out-of-the-box.

ESP32: 
https://wiki.dlang.org/D_on_esp32/esp8266(llvm-xtensa%2Bldc)_and_how_to_get_started
This arch hasn't been upstreamed to LLVM yet and so needs their 
LLVM fork, i.e., building it and LDC yourself.
