AkiraConsole is a handheld built on AkiraOS, a Zephyr based embedded OS that runs sandboxed WebAssembly apps on microcontrollers. The idea is to separate the OS from the application. Firmware stays stable, apps are independent .wasm binaries you can deploy and update over the air without touching the OS.
Hardware: ESP32-S3 dual core, 8MB PSRAM, TFT display, 8 tactile buttons, rotary encoder, sub-GHz + LoRa radio, MicroSD, USB-C.
Recent proof of concept: took a bare RGB controller PCB with zero existing software and had it running production ready firmware in 2 days using AkiraOS. Deploy a .wasm app, no reflashing loop.
201 stars on GitHub, coverage from CNX Software, Hackster.io, and Adafruit Blog. Currently in pre-launch on Crowd Supply.
