This repository contains a blinky project for the WCH CH32V307V-EVT-R1 development board based on the CH32V307 RISC-V microcontroller. This repository is based on the stm32-makefile repository, created for developing simple Makefile based projects for microcontrollers.

The project uses:

• GNU Make (Build System)
• Mounriver Studio Toolchain Bundle
  • GCC RISC-V Compiler and Debugger (riscv-none-embed-)
  • OpenOCD-WCH (Debug)

• Install the toolchain bundle downloaded from the Mounriver website. Edit Makefile to change path variables TOOLCHAIN_ROOT and OPENOCD_ROOT to the gcc toolchain and openocd bin directory. Rename directories to avoid spaces in path string.

• Add the following lines to /etc/udev/rules.d/60-openocd.rules or similar. Run sudo udevadm control --reload and replug device to USB.

        SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}="1a86", ATTR{idProduct}=="8010", GROUP="plugdev"
  

• Add the following line to ~/.gdbinit, so as to enable auto gdb initialization. Modify <path> to point to current directory.

        add-auto-load-safe-path <path>/wch-ch32v307-makefile/.gdbinit
  

• Connect USB-C Cable to P9. Insert Jumper wire between PA0 and LED1 headers.

• Simply run make to build the project.
• Run make prog to build the project and program the firmware using openocd

For Debugging:

• In another terminal, start the GDB server by running make gdb-server_openocd. GDB Server probably has to be restarted after every code download step, otherwise seems to hang.
• Run make gdb-client to download the code and start debugging.
• Optionally, open a serial terminal to view the printf function calls.
  • For example, run pyserial: python -m serial - 115200 and then select the port labeled "WCH-Link".
