Introduction
Thank you very much for taking DK-START-GW1NSR2 as the development & learning platform. This user guide can help you install the required software, compile the Demo, and download it to the development board to test so as to be familiar with the development flow.
Install Software
Install Gowin EDA software (Gowin YunYuan Software) to create, compile and download the FPGA Demo program. Download the EDA software, apply for a license, and obtain the software user guide at the GOWINSEMI website https://www.gowinsemi.com/en/support/home/. For details on the software installation method and usage, please refer to SUG100, Gowin YunYuan Software User Guide.
Development Board Power-on Test
The test program has been downloaded into the internal FLASH before the
delivery of the DK-START-GW1NSR2 development board. The development board can
be checked whether to work when it is powered on.
Connect the J6 (USB interface) of the development board to the PC using the
USB cable. If the loading is done, two green LEDs will blink in turn,
indicating that the development board can work.
Compile Demo Program
The LED test program is to demonstrate two LEDs blinking. Users can download
the corresponding demo at the Gowinsemi website:
https://www.gowinsemi.com/en/support/database/. Save the project in the
directory with no Chinese characters. Open and compile this demo using Gowin
YunYuan software.
