Monheim am Rhein, Germany – March 7^th, 2024

SEGGER and GigaDevice announce their collaboration to provide customers with SEGGER emWin embedded system graphics library, free of charge.

With GD32, the largest Arm®-based MCU product family in China, GigaDevice was first to launch MCUs containing Cortex®-M3, -M4, -M23, -M33, and -M7 cores in China. With this, GigaDevice achieves comprehensive coverage of mainstream microcontroller applications, from low energy to ultra-high performance, covering consumer to automotive grade whilst adopting the latest architectures, keeping costs low, and offering rapid real-time response. The GD32 family has 46 product series and more than 600 devices, maintaining excellent compatibility throughout.

GigaDevice customers can now use SEGGER’s emWin, as well as SEGGER's AppWizard, across all GD32 Cortex®-M series MCUs.

SEGGER’s emWin is a cutting-edge, high-performance graphical user interface solution, optimized for minimum memory consumption, both in RAM and ROM, as well as for high speed and versatility. It provides high-quality graphic functions and can be adapted to any size display, physical or virtual. It is compatible with single-task and multitask environments, with a proprietary operating system or with any commercial RTOS such as SEGGER’s embOS and embOS-Ultra.

SEGGER's award-winning AppWizard enables the creation of highly efficient and high-quality graphical user interfaces on any embedded system without requiring in-depth knowledge of the emWin graphics library or even the C language for coding.

“We are very pleased to further expand our strategic partnership with SEGGER to further enhance our graphical user interface solutions based on GD32 Cortex®-M series MCU with SEGGER emWin,” says GigaDevice. “SEGGER emWin can help developers achieve professional embedded GUI in a short time, and also has excellent performance on resource-limited platforms. In the end, the corresponding C language program code is generated, which can greatly reduce the development difficulty and the time to market.”

“We continue to be impressed by the innovation at GigaDevice and are happy to be supporting their products as we have done for many years,” says SEGGER. “We look forward to strengthening our partnership for years to come and to continuing to innovate and enhance our products.”
