Frequently Answers and Questions

What are the different download methods available for Gowin PicoRV32 software?
There are three main download methods: using software programming output as ITCM initialization, merging software and hardware designs, and downloading via off-chip SPI-Flash memory.
How do I configure the BUILD_MODE for different download methods?
The BUILD_MODE macro definition in config.h determines the download method. For example, #define BUILD_MODE BUILD_LOAD is used for ITCM initialization, while #define BUILD_MODE BUILD_XIP is used for off-chip SPI-Flash download.
What are the supported devices for Gowin PicoRV32 software download?
The manual mentions the following supported devices: LittleBee® Family FPGA products, Arora Family FPGA products, and Arora V FPGA products.
