GigaDevice has entered into a strategic partnership with Qt Group to enhance embedded graphical user interface (GUI) solutions by combining its high-performance GD32H7 MCU series with Qt’s widely adopted Qt for MCUs framework. This partnership between GigaDevice and Qt Group intends to meet the rising need for rich, intuitive, and responsive Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for various applications such as industrial automation, IoT, energy storage, smart home devices, and consumer electronics. By incorporating the highly advanced features of GigaDevice’s MCUs, which include high performance computing capabilities, graphics capability, and reliability in industrial conditions, with Qt’s cross-platform programming environment and rendering capabilities, the partnership intends to ease the process of HMIs application development.

“At GigaDevice, building a comprehensive MCU ecosystem has always been central to our strategy,” said Vincent Li, GigaDevice Senior Vice President and General Manager of the MCU Business Unit, “Qt Group’s technical expertise and developer footprint in embedded GUI align closely with our direction: serving premium customers and raising the competitive bar for our products. This partnership will combine the hardware strengths of the GD32H7 series with the software capabilities of Qt for MCUs, giving development teams an integrated platform, and helping end customers deliver more differentiated product experiences, faster.” “Embedded developers building advanced HMI products face a consistent bottleneck: the time it takes to get a graphics stack running well on new hardware before meaningful UI work can begin,” said Michele Rossi, Director, Qt for MCUs Product Management, Qt Group.
