SemiDrive E3 Series and D series

SemiDrive’s high-performance E3 series MCU product, launched in April 2022, features a CPU with a clock speed of up to 800MHz and up to 6 CPU cores. It can be widely applied in various fields, including chassis control, brake control, BMS, ADAS/autonomous driving motion control, virtual cluster, HUD, CMS systems, and more. The E3 series complies with the AEC-Q100 Grade 1 standard for automotive reliability and ASIL D functional safety level, and has obtained National Cryptography Level 2 certification. Currently, there are over 100 customers using the E3 series for product design, including Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) and Geely, among others.

SemiDrive’s D series industrial chips are high-reliability, high-security, high real-time, and high-performance, designed for advanced industrial applications such as a new generation of electric power intelligent equipment, industrial Internet equipment, industrial control equipment, industrial robots, engineering machinery and rail transit traffic.

About Embedded Studio

Embedded Studio is a multi-platform IDE (Integrated Development Environment) from SEGGER Microcontroller. Characterized by its flexibility of use, it includes all the tools & features a developer needs for professional embedded C and C++ programming & development.

It comes with a powerful project manager and source code editor. The editor is quick to start up and the build process is blazingly fast, saving precious working hours. It also includes SEGGER’s highly optimized emRun runtime and emFloat floating-point libraries, as well as SEGGER's smart Linker, all of which have been developed from the ground up specifically for resource-constrained embedded systems.

In combination with the Clang-based, highly optimizing C/C++ SEGGER Compiler, extremely small yet efficient programs can be generated, putting every byte to work.

The built-in debugger leaves nothing to be desired. Fully integrated with J-Link, it delivers great performance and stability.

Embedded Studio is available for unlimited evaluation, and for educational and non-commercial purposes, free of charge, with no restrictions in terms of code size, features, or duration of use.

It is used extensively at SEGGER internally and is continuously updated and enhanced.
