Description

The Sipeed Tang Nano 9K Core board is engineered around Gowin’s GW1NR-9 FPGA, delivering a robust platform for digital logic design, embedded systems, and soft-core processor implementation. Its architecture includes 8640 LUT4 logic units, 6480 flip-flops, and substantial on-chip memory with 468K bits of block SRAM and 608K bits of user flash, enabling the development of complex state machines and data-processing pipelines.

Equipped with dedicated HDMI, RGB, and SPI display interfaces, the board is particularly suited for video processing and embedded GUI applications. The integrated BL702 microcontroller handles USB-to-JTAG and USB-to-UART bridging, providing a seamless connection for programming and serial communication directly via a Type-C cable. With its compact form factor, dual PLLs for clock management, and a rich set of peripheral pads including UART, SPI, I2C, and GPIO, the Tang Nano 9K serves as a versatile foundation for prototyping IoT edge computing nodes, custom display controllers, and educational FPGA projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I program the Sipeed Tang Nano 9K FPGA board?

The board is programmed using Gowin's FPGA design software (Gowin EDA). Connect the provided Type-C cable to your PC; the onboard BL702 chip provides both USB-JTAG for bitstream programming and USB-UART for serial communication. Install the Gowin software, create or open your project, synthesize your design, and use the Programmer tool to download the .fs file to the FPGA via the detected JTAG interface.

What display interfaces are supported and how do I connect them?

The board natively supports HDMI, parallel RGB, and SPI screen interfaces. For HDMI, use a standard HDMI cable connected to the micro HDMI port. For RGB or SPI displays, solder the provided 24-pin headers and connect your display module to the corresponding GPIO pins as defined in the board's pinout diagram. You will need to configure the FPGA's I/O constraints and implement the correct display controller IP or logic in your design.

Can I run a RISC-V processor on this FPGA, and what resources are available?

Yes, the Tang Nano 9K's 8640 LUTs and substantial block RAM are sufficient to implement a soft-core RISC-V processor like PicoRV. You will need to integrate the processor core within your Gowin EDA project, connect it to the onboard SDRAM controller for memory, and map its peripherals to the board's GPIO, UART, or other interfaces. Example projects and constraints files are often provided by the community to accelerate this process.
