Overview

Here is a rare RISC-V SOC (UP301) flight control solution running PX4 Autopilot, Adrupilot, and Betaflight for your drone project.  Bluemag Pi is built on an independently developed chip, Upbeat Technology’s UP301 ultra-low power MCU-SOC, yet fully compatible with the software interface running on ARM-based flight control boards. Designed and manufactured in Taiwan, Bluemag Pi not only offers direct cost advantage but also makes multi-vendor sourcing and cross-platform testing possible, thus making your supply chain more resilient and your drones more robust.  There is even untapped computation resources in UP301 should you wish to offer more features or better performance with software enhancement and optimization. Explore with Bluemag Pi and see how the playing field is changed.
