Sipeed Longan Nano Lite

Hardware

Platform GigaDevice GD32V: The GigaDevice GD32V device is a 32-bit general-purpose microcontroller based on the RISC-V core with an impressive balance of processing power, reduced power consumption and peripheral set.

Microcontroller

GD32VF103C8T6

Frequency

108MHz

Flash

64KB

RAM

20KB

Vendor

Sipeed

Configuration

Please use sipeed-longan-nano-lite ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:sipeed-longan-nano-lite]
platform = gd32v
board = sipeed-longan-nano-lite

You can override default Sipeed Longan Nano Lite settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest sipeed-longan-nano-lite.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:sipeed-longan-nano-lite]
platform = gd32v
board = sipeed-longan-nano-lite

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = GD32VF103C8T6

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 108000000L

Uploading

Sipeed Longan Nano Lite supports the following uploading protocols:

  • altera-usb-blaster

  • gd-link

  • jlink

  • rv-link

  • serial

  • sipeed-rv-debugger

  • um232h

Default protocol is serial

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:sipeed-longan-nano-lite]
platform = gd32v
board = sipeed-longan-nano-lite

upload_protocol = serial

Debugging

Debugging - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

Warning

You will need to install debug tool drivers depending on your system. Please click on compatible debug tool below for the further instructions and configuration information.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

Sipeed Longan Nano Lite does not have on-board debug probe and IS NOT READY for debugging. You will need to use/buy one of external probe listed below.
