AI on Microcontrollers, RISC-V Wireless, and Power Inverters
At Embedded World 2025, Electropages stopped by GigaDevice to explore the latest innovations in their GD32 microcontroller family — including AI-powered arc fault detection, bi-directional energy storage systems, and a new line of RISC-V wireless MCUs.
We take a closer look at an impressive demo running a trained AI model on a Cortex-M7 MCU to detect arc faults in under 1 millisecond, entirely in software. We also check out a high-efficiency energy inverter using GD32 MCUs for LLC, boost, and PFC control, and a low-power USB keyboard demo built with the L235 MCU.
Plus, GigaDevice showcases a new line of Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2 modules with ESP32-like form factors – ideal for engineers looking for STM32 compatibility and a seamless transition to wireless IoT.
