Edge AI is no longer experimental. From wearables and medical sensors to smart home devices, industrial monitors, and infrastructure nodes, products are increasingly expected to sense, analyze, and make decisions locally while operating for months or even years on small batteries. This requirement has turned ultra-low-power system design into one of the most complex challenges […]

Dual-core RISC-V MCU integrates two hardware AI accelerators
Upbeat Technology and SiFive have introduced the UP201/UP301 microcontroller family, a dual-core RISC-V MCU platform designed for low-power edge-processing applications. The devices integrate two SiFive Essential processor cores with two hardware AI accelerators developed by Upbeat, enabling real-time inference and digital signal processing within a constrained power budget. The architecture supports near-threshold operation and incorporates […]
