Arduino Giga R1 WiFi - Dual-Core Cortex-M7/M4 IoT Edge Microcontroller

Meet the Arduino Giga R1 WiFi: a high-performance microcontroller built for modern IoT and edge projects

The Giga R1 WiFi blends substantial processing power with seamless wireless connectivity, creating a versatile platform for prototyping and production-ready applications. With a dual-core architecture, it’s designed to handle demanding tasks side-by-side—think real-time data analysis, local computation, and responsive control—without overloading a single core.

Powerful dual-core performance for complex tasks

At the heart of the board lies a 480 MHz Cortex-M7 paired with a 240 MHz Cortex-M4. This combination enables parallel execution of compute-heavy routines and real-time control, helping you run intricate algorithms, sensor fusion, and responsive logic in tandem. The result is a capable foundation for robotics, automation, and edge computing projects that require both speed and efficiency.

• Dedicated processing lanes for simultaneous workloads
• Responsive performance for real-time sensing and control
• Room to grow a project as requirements evolve

Built-in wireless for connected projects

Integrated Wi‑Fi and Bluetooth 5.0 provide reliable, low-latency connectivity for cloud links, remote sensors, and device-to-device communication. This makes it easier to collect data, issue commands, or trigger local actions from anywhere in your project’s network.

• IoT-ready connectivity out of the box
• Bluetooth 5.0 support enables efficient device pairing
• Real-time data exchange with cloud services and gateways

Ample memory and straightforward expansion

With 16 MB of Flash and 512 KB of SRAM, you can store larger programs, keep sensor histories, and experiment with more sophisticated algorithms. This capacity supports more ambitious edge tasks and experimenting with on-device learning or data processing without constant off-board storage.

• Solid space for larger applications and datasets
• Flexible storage for logs, models, and configurations

Flexible I/O and easy expansion

The board offers a rich mix of digital and analog I/O, PWM, SPI, I2C, and UART, plus a high-speed USB-C interface for programming and power delivery. Its shield compatibility keeps expansion simple, so you can connect sensors, motors, and actuators with confidence.

• Wide compatibility with external components
• Fast programming and reliable power delivery via USB-C
• Seamless shield ecosystem for rapid prototyping

Developer-friendly ecosystem

Fully compatible with the Arduino IDE and supported by a large community, the Giga R1 WiFi helps you bring ideas to life quickly. Access libraries, examples, and collaborative help as you prototype, test, and refine your project.

Ideal for professional IoT and edge computing use cases, this board supports both rapid prototyping and production-lean workflows. Consider it for smart devices, robotics, automation tasks, and data-driven projects where on-device processing and local connectivity matter.
