AkiraOS is Artur Founder’s Zephyr-based embedded OS that runs sandboxed WebAssembly applications on microcontrollers. The core idea: separate the OS from the application. The firmware stays stable. Apps are .wasm binaries — isolated, portable, and deployable over-the-air without touching the OS. Your App (C/C++/Python) → compile → app.wasm → SecureDeploy → runs on device OS unchanged Why this […]

The Global Positioning System (GPS) relies on its primary L1 frequency to broadcast precise timing and orbital data, allowing receivers on Earth to calculate their exact location. Because the L1 C/A signal transmits at just fifty bits per second, every bit of this navigation data must earn its place. Yet, within this highly constrained signal, […]
