## 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 | GD32VF103VBT6
Frequency | 108MHz
Flash | 128KB
RAM | 32KB
Vendor | Sipeed

## Configuration

Please use `gd32vf103v-eval` ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

    [env:gd32vf103v-eval]
    platform = gd32v
    board = gd32vf103v-eval

You can override default GD32VF103V-EVAL settings per build environment using `board_***` option, where `***` is a JSON object path from board manifest gd32vf103v-eval.json. For example, `board_build.mcu`, `board_build.f_cpu`, etc.

    [env:gd32vf103v-eval]
    platform = gd32v
    board = gd32vf103v-eval

    ; change microcontroller
    board_build.mcu = GD32VF103VBT6

    ; change MCU frequency
    board_build.f_cpu = 108000000L

## Uploading

GD32VF103V-EVAL supports the next uploading protocols:

- `altera-usb-blaster`

- `gd-link`

- `jlink`

- `rv-link`

- `serial`

- `sipeed-rv-debugger`

- `um232h`

Default protocol is `gd-link`

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

    [env:gd32vf103v-eval]
    platform = gd32v
    board = gd32vf103v-eval

    upload_protocol = gd-link

## Debugging

PIO Unified Debugger - “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).

GD32VF103V-EVAL 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.

Compatible Tools | On-board | Default
--- | --- | ---
Altera / Intel USB-Blaster Download Cable |  | Yes
GD-LINK |  |
J-LINK |  |
RV-LINK |  |
Sipeed RV Debugger |  |
UM232H |  |
