AkiraOS: Embedded OS that runs WebAssembly applications on microcontrollers

SMRTR summary

AkiraOS is a Zephyr-based embedded OS that runs sandboxed WebAssembly apps on microcontrollers like ESP32-S3, nRF5x, and STM32. Apps deploy over-the-air as .wasm binaries — no firmware flash needed. A built-in Capability Guard enforces per-app hardware permissions, and crashed apps can't take down the device, making field updates safer and more portable across hardware targets.
