Russian Microcontroller Runs on a Fully Domestic Software Platform

Researchers at South Ural State University (SUSU) have developed Russia’s first software designed to control three-phase brushless electric motors. The system has already been tested, fine-tuned, and is ready for industrial-scale production.

The program was developed for the MIK32 “Amur” microcontroller—the first entirely Russian-made, Level 1 microcontroller built on the open RISC-V architecture. Both the “Amur” chip and SUSU’s control software will be used in brushless electric drives built primarily from domestically produced components.

Fully Russian Electric Transport Is Becoming a Reality

Three-phase brushless motors ensure smooth startup and stable operation not only in electric vehicles but also in robotics, industrial machinery, and smart household appliances. SUSU engineers are now developing domestic analogs for all components of these electric drives.

Meanwhile, innovations are also advancing in other parts of the electric vehicle ecosystem. Scientists at Siberian Federal University recently introduced a new algorithm for managing the charging process of lithium-ion batteries, capable of accelerating charging and extending battery life.
