Yes, but it requires the user to make hardware modifications to the VC Glitcher in order to interface with the embedded target. Riscure can provide support to build such setup. Riscure is currently also working on a generic extension to the VC Glitcher for embedded chips (expected release in 2011). For injecting faults with the Diode Laser Station the embedded target also needs to be de-capped, to provide optical access, just like with smart cards. Inspector needs to communicate with the embedded target through an interface. See the answer to the previous question to an insight of the communication interface posibilities with Inspector.
