The Voronezh Research Institute of Electronic Technology (NIIET, part of the Element Group) has introduced the 32-bit microcontroller K1921VG015 based on the RISC-V architecture into the educational programs of several Russian universities. Since 2025, several thousand students have already become familiar with the chip - previously, the same courses were based on foreign components.
The microcontroller is used in laboratory work and practical training at Chelyabinsk State University, Moscow Power Engineering Institute, and Voronezh State University of Forestry and Technologies. Teachers note that the transition to a domestic component has simplified the learning of the material, and student projects based on it are already participating in competitions.
K1921VG015 supports a wide range of peripherals and flexible power consumption modes, making it suitable for IoT, industrial automation, and robotics. The component is included in the register of Russian industrial products and the unified register of radio-electronic products. Training materials for teachers and developers are regularly updated.
