TL;DR
AkiraOS is an embedded operating system based on Zephyr RTOS that aims to simplify the deployment of WebAssembly (WASM) applications on microcontrollers. It allows users to run applications in a sandboxed environment, similar to Docker containers, which means you can deploy and update firmware over-the-air (OTA) without needing to reflash the entire device. This separation of the operating system from applications ensures that the firmware remains stable while permitting independent updates of .wasm binaries.
