" summary

GAP8 is a low power RISC-V MCU built on the PULP RISC-V core with five years of tested IP and a toolchain that reuses existing RISC-V partners so engineering effort focuses on platform features. Real silicon runs in a few-gram nano drone where motors dominate battery use but GAP8 processes a front camera with a convolutional neural network to output steering directions and a collision probability. The demo shows live autonomous navigation on battery with on-chip inference and state switching optimized for ultra low power.
