GigaDevice GD32VF103C-STARTER
#############################
Overview
********
The GD32VF103C-STARTER board is a hardware platform that enables prototyping
on GD32VF103CB RISC-V MCU.
The GD32VF103CB features a single-core RISC-V 32-bit MCU which can run up
to 108 MHz with flash accesses zero wait states, 128 KiB of Flash, 32 KiB of
SRAM and 37 GPIOs.

Serial Port
===========
The GD32VF103C-STARTER board has one serial communications port.
TX connected at PA9 and RX at PA10.
Programming and Debugging
*************************
Before programming your board make sure to configure boot and serial jumpers
as follows:
- JP2/3: Select 2-3 for both (boot from user memory)
- JP5/6: Select 1-2 positions (labeled as ``USART0``)
Using GD-Link
=============
The GD32VF103C-STARTER includes an onboard programmer/debugger (GD-Link) which
allows flash programming and debugging over USB. There is also a JTAG header
(JP1) which can be used with tools like Segger J-Link.
#. Build the Zephyr kernel and the :ref:`hello_world` sample application:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: gd32vf103c_starter
:goals: build
:compact:
#. Run your favorite terminal program to listen for output. On Linux the
terminal should be something like ``/dev/ttyUSB0``. For example:
.. code-block:: console
minicom -D /dev/ttyUSB0 -o
The -o option tells minicom not to send the modem initialization
string. Connection should be configured as follows:
- Speed: 115200
- Data: 8 bits
- Parity: None
- Stop bits: 1
#. To flash an image:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: gd32vf103c_starter
:goals: flash
:compact:
You should see "Hello World! gd32vf103c_starter" in your terminal.
#. To debug an image:
.. zephyr-app-commands::
:zephyr-app: samples/hello_world
:board: gd32vf103c_starter
:goals: debug
