Upcoming ESP32-S31 dual-core RISC-V MCU offers Gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth, and 802.15.4 connectivity

Espressif Systems has a new powerful wireless microcontroller in the works, the ESP32-S31, sharing some features of the ESP32-P4 and ESP32-S3 microcontrollers.

The ESP32-S31 is a dual-core RISC-V MCU with one high-performance core with FPU and SIMD instructions, and one low-power RISC-V core, featuring 62 GPIOs, a Gigabit Ethernet MAC, WiFi, Bluetooth, and 802.15.4 (Thread/Zigbee/Matter) wireless connectivity, and more.

There’s only one high-performance RISC-V core against two for the ESP32-P4, and the ESP32-S31 apparently lacks H.264 VPU, MIPI DSI, and MIPI CSI interfaces, so its multimedia capabilities are more limited.

It’s still probably the most powerful wireless SoC from Espressif Systems so far, and it also comes with 62 GPIOs, more than any other ESP32 microcontroller, as well as Gigabit Ethernet.
