There is not a native release of ROS for 8-bit platforms, so a native executable for the command module is not available.
It is highly unlikely that ROS will ever target a platform that constrained, since most of the focus is on higher-level research.
There are several libraries available for communicating with the iRobot from ROS though. You can check out everything available on the Robots for ROS - Roomba Page.
As @mjcarroll said ROS is not designed to run at the level of 8 bit microcontrollers, communications are abstracted at an IP level which most microcontrollers don't have available.
There are several driver stacks for the iRobot Create icreate, turtlebot, and irobot_create to name a few from a search of indexed ROS repositories.
