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.

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

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

3.1.2 Download

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

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

Use a USB cable Type-C to connect board to the PC. Hold button BOOT0, press briefly button RST and release button BOOT0.
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).

Download firmware to board:

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

3.1.3 Running Result

Connect USB-UART converter to board:

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

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:
