AkiraOS: A WebAssembly runtime for microcontrollers
Published: June 8, 2026, 3:45 pm
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 […]
