AkiraConsole — open-source handheld built on ESP32-S3 running WebAssembly-native OS

Hey everyone,
We've been building AkiraConsole — an open-source handheld security and development tool powered by ESP32-S3-WROOM-1.
What makes it different from typical ESP32 projects is AkiraOS — a WebAssembly-native OS built on Zephyr RTOS. Instead of flashing firmware the traditional way, you deploy isolated .wasm apps to the device OTA. Think Docker for microcontrollers.
Hardware highlights:

ESP32-S3 with 2.4GHz Wi-Fi + BLE 5
TI CC1121 sub-GHz transceiver
Semtech LoRa
NXP SE050 secure element (NFC/U2F)
2.8" IPS LCD
MicroSD + expansion pins (SPI, I2C, I2S, GPIO)
JST battery header

Use cases: hardware security auditing, RF research, retro gaming, IoT experimentation
AkiraOS source is on GitHub under Apache 2.0. The hardware is in pre-launch on Crowd Supply right now.
CNX Software and Hackster.io both covered it this week if you want to read more.

Happy to answer any technical questions!
