Ok so if I'm understanding correctly Hyperlight lets you sandbox components of your embedded system using hypervisor/VMs. Hyperlight WASM is an alternative sandbox that uses WASM for sandboxing instead.
I guess if you only have WASM there would not be much need for Hyperlight at all, but if you have a mix of WASM and non-WASM code this would be useful.
