The environment of modern embedded development is the richest it has ever been - there is a massive ecosystem of hardware, tools, and software for creating devices that bring unprecedented computing power everywhere. With this rise, growing pains are becoming evident in this industry. Creators need more hardware than ever, but face shortages throughout the supply chain, making reliance on particular sensors, ICs, and system-on-chips brittle for businesses. Teams need more embedded software than ever, but struggle to find the software developer expertise they need to create products that span from embedded development to backend services.

Enter WebAssembly. Originally created for near-native performance in the browser, WebAssembly creates a fixed point between languages that compile to it and runtimes - from browsers to embedded systems - that run it. This talk will introduce the post-browser WebAssembly ecosystem, benefits of WebAssembly to embedded products, present an application running the same code on different hardware, and discuss ongoing open source efforts in the WebAssembly space to make embedded software more accessible and solve tight coupling between hardware and software - all within 64MHz of CPU, 128KB of RAM, and 512KB of flash.
