YD-CH32V307VCT6 BSP Introduction

1 Introduction

YD-CH32V307VCT6 is a RISC-V core-based development board with a maximum main frequency of 144Mhz. It delivers the best value for developers to try and get started with RISC-V architecture.

This document records the execution instruction of the BSP (board support package) provided by the RT-Thread community for the CH32V307V-R1 development board.

The document is covered in three parts:

• Board Resources Introduction
• Compiling
• Quickly Get Started

By reading the Quickly Get Started section developers can quickly get their hands on this BSP and run RT-Thread on the board.

Features

• MCU: CH32V307VCT6, main frequency 144MHz，FLASH and RAM are available for configuration.

2 Compiling

The BSP supports the RISC-V GCC development environment, here's the specific version information:

IDE/Compiler	Version Tested
GCC	WCH RISC-V GCC 8.2.0

3 Quickly Get Started

3.1 Using Linux to compile BSP

This section is about to introduce how to compile the BSP in Linux.

3.1.1 Compile BSP

1. Download WCH Compile Toolchain
2. Download the RT-Thread latest code
3. Install SCons construction tool (similar GNU Make): sudo apt install scons
4. Edit the variable EXEC_PATH in file rtconfig.py to point to the directory with executable WCH Compile Toolchain (file riscv-none-embed-gcc).
5. Configure RT-Thread and hardware board: scons --menuconfig
6. Start compilation: scons
7. After compilation, the rtthread.bin file will be generated

3.1.2 Download

1. Clone source file: git clone https://github.com/jmaselbas/wch-isp.git
2. Compile and install :

• cd wch-isp
• make && sudo make install && sudo make load

3. Use a USB cable Type-C to connect board to the PC. Hold button BOOT0, press briefly button RST and release button BOOT0.
4. Check board connection:

wch-isp list
0: BTVER v2.9 UID 10-46-89-26-3b-38-d4-a4 [0x1770] CH32V307VCT6
MCU current flash size: 256 Kbyte

Note that Chip Mem here is set to 256K ROM + 64K RAM (see Table 2-1 of datasheet CH32V307, and chapter 32.6 "User Option Bytes" of Reference Manual CH32V2x_V3x).

5. Download firmware to board:

wch-isp -p flash ./rtthread.bin && wch-isp reset 

3.1.3 Running Result

1. Connect USB-UART converter to board:

• board pin A9 (UART1_TX) -> converter RX
• board pin A10 (UART1_RX) -> converter TX (optional, for enter commands)

2. In the terminal tool, open the converter serial port (default 115200-8-1-N), and after resetting the device, you can see the output information of RT-Thread on the serial port:
