## Hardware

Platform Nuclei: Find professional RISC-V Processor IP in Nuclei, first professional RISC-V IP company in Mainland China, match all your requirements in AIoT Era.

Microcontroller | GD32VF103VBT6
Frequency | 108MHz
Flash | 128KB
RAM | 32KB
Vendor | Nuclei

## Configuration

Please use `gd32vf103v_rvstar` ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

    [env:gd32vf103v_rvstar]
    platform = nuclei
    board = gd32vf103v_rvstar

You can override default GD32VF103V RVStar Kit settings per build environment using `board_***` option, where `***` is a JSON object path from board manifest gd32vf103v_rvstar.json. For example, `board_build.mcu`, `board_build.f_cpu`, etc.

    [env:gd32vf103v_rvstar]
    platform = nuclei
    board = gd32vf103v_rvstar

    ; change microcontroller
    board_build.mcu = gd32vf103vbt6

    ; change MCU frequency
    board_build.f_cpu = 108000000L

## Uploading

GD32VF103V RVStar Kit supports the next uploading protocols:

- `altera-usb-blaster`

- `gd-link`

- `jlink`

- `rv-link`

Default protocol is `rv-link`

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

    [env:gd32vf103v_rvstar]
    platform = nuclei
    board = gd32vf103v_rvstar

    upload_protocol = rv-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 RVStar Kit has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
