WebAssembly for IoT Devices: Interfacing with USB and I2C Hardware - Merlijn Sebrechts & Michiel Van Kenhove, Imec and Ghent University
Tuesday November 12, 2024 4:15pm - 4:50pm MST
Ballroom 1
WebAssembly offers a lot of advantages for IoT and embedded development: developers can use modern toolchains, diverse programming languages and sandboxing technology on truly tiny devices like ESP32 microcontrollers. Support for these use-cases is improving with the newly formed Embedded SIG and new interfaces for connecting WebAssembly applications to underlying hardware via USB and I2C. This talk explains how WebAssembly improves embedded development and shows how to control connected USB and I2C devices from WebAssembly. It covers the WASI-USB and WASI-I2C proposals and explains how to embed a device driver in WebAssembly. The session also takes a look at the overhead of these interfaces and embedded WebAssembly in general. The session closes with a peek into the future.
