Plug in DK-BLE-CEIT-ASSEM Development Board 2. Ensure drivers install and jumpers are set properly 3. Open GOWIN Programmer (Start Gowin Gowin Programmer) 4. Scan for devices a). Click `Scan Device' icon b). Select `GW1NRF-4B' and click `OK' 5. Set FPGA bitstream to program a). Double click the blank cell under `FS File' for the GW1NRF device b). Access Mode: Embedded Flash Mode c). File name: (Navigate to GW1NRF4_FPGA_BLINK_1_21_2020.fs) d). Click Save 6. Click `Program/Configure' icon 7. Observe blue LED blinking from successful FPGA programming Step 3: Program BLE and MCU 1. Start Programs Gowin Semiconductor GW1NRF Config Editor 2. Select Driver: Jtag 3. Select `Read from Device' 4. File Upload Patch 5. Navigate to `findme_MCU_GPIO7.emp' 6. Select Driver: Jtag 7. Destination: IRAM www.gowinsemi.com 1(6) Gowin GW1NRF Getting Started Guide UG885-1.2E 8. Check boxes `Reset After Upload' & `Check for Test Mode' 9. Click Upload; Red LED should turn on after upload Step 4: Test BLE and MCU 1. Open the Alpwise i-BLE App on your smartphone or tablet 2. Click `Play Bluetooth low energy' 3. Click `GW1NRF FindMe' from the list of Bluetooth devices 4. Click the `Find Me' Profile 5. Push `No Alert' Red LED on the board should turn off 6. Push `High Alert' Red LED on the board should turn on Gowin GW1NRF Getting Started Guide UG885-1.2E Creating an GW1NRF MCU and FPGA Project Step 1: Setup Synopsys Metaware Lite 1. Download and get license for Metaware Lite https://www.synopsys.com/cgi-bin/arcmwtk_lite/reg1.cgi 2. Install Metaware Lite 3. Start Programs Gowin Semiconductor `Setup Project Files' Step 2: Setup Metaware Lite for GW1NRF4 1. Start Programs Synopsys Inc MetaWare Lite IDE P-2019.09-1 2. Create an Eclipse workspace path and click `OK' 3. Click `Create a New Workspace' 4. Specify the following path: `C:\ProgramData\GW1NRFsdk' 5. Click `OK'; Metaware Lite will reopen 6. Run the scrip of the C:\ProgramData\GW1NRFsdk\sw\ide_project.bat' 7. File Import General, Existing Projects 8. Select Root Directory: `C:\ProgramData\GW1NRFsdk\sw' 9. Click `Finish' Note! Metaware compiler version 11.8 in Metaware 2020.03 introduced new optimizations impacting functionality of GW1NRF SDK. On temporary basis, the workaround proposed is to modify include file "platform.h" in directory <libs/em_hw_api/includes>. The external reference to gPlatform_Config declaration should be changed: From: extern const volatile Platform_Configuration_t gPlatform_Config; To: extern volatile Platform_Configuration_t gPlatform_Config; Step 3: Compile MCU C Code 1. Navigate in Project Explorer to sw projects findme findme.c 2. On line 153 change the alert LED to GPIO 0 #define GPIO_FINDME_ALERT_LED ( 0 ) 3. Project Build All (if there is any error run `clean') Note! There is some path issue with the BLESW_EM9304FOTA path in the GW1NRF SoC SDK Install. www.gowinsemi.com 3(6) Gowin GW1NRF Getting Started Guide UG885-1.2E MCU and FPGA Connectivity GW1NRF4 FPGA p17 p18 p19 p20 p22 GPIO_0 GPIO_1 GPIO_2 GPIO_3 GPIO_4 MCU BLE PHY FPGA Constraint File IO Name p17 p18 p19 p20 p22 MCU IO Name GPIO 0 GPIO 1 GPIO 2 GPIO 3 GPIO 4 Step 4: Synthesize and Load FPGA Design 1. Open GOWIN EDA 2. Open the `fpga_led_blink' project 3. Observe led.v led.v creates a counter that controls an out `led'. The counter runs when input `enable' is active high. 4. Observe led.cst a). `enable' is set to connect to p17, which is connected to MCU GPIO 0 based on the table in the previous slide b). `led' is connected to package pin 8; this is connected to the blue led on the development board 5. Clock the `Process' tab in GOWIN EDA; right click on `Place & Route' and select `Rerun All' Resulting Design GW1NRF4 BLE PHY MCU C code controls GPIO 0 which is connected to FPGA fabric Internal Oscillator 0 1 >Q D LED on Development Board Gowin GW1NRF Getting Started Guide UG885-1.2E Now, we use Alpwise i-BLE App to control enable of a counter design in the FPGA. The enable turns the LED off or allows it to blink with the counter inside the FPGA. Load and test MCU and FPGA designs 1. Load FPGA file: a). *\GW1NRF_Getting_Started_v1\fpga_led_blink\impl\pnr\fpga_proj ect.fs b). Same procedure as "Testing GW1NRF4 Development Board Functionality Step 2: Program and Test FPGA" 2. Load MCU elf file: a). C:\ProgramData\GW1NRFsdk\sw\projects\findme\findme.elf b). Same procedure as "Testing GW1NRF4 Development Board Functionality Step 4: Test BLE and MCUStep 2: Program and Test FPGA" 3. Test control of the FPGA led via BLE a). Run Alpwise i-BLE App b). Same procedure as "Testing GW1NRF4 Development Board Functionality Step 4: Test BLE and MCUStep 2: Program and Test FPGA" c). led should be off or blinking based on the alert state in the Alpwise App Gowin GW1NRF Getting Started Guide UG885-1.2E Support and Feedback Gowin Semiconductor provides customers with comprehensive technical support.
