RV32-BM

A bare metal system for the 32-bit RISC-V processor using the Longan Nano development board (GD32VF103).

Environment and Tools

Toolchain

riscv-collab/riscv-gnu-toolchain

According to the instructions, configure and compile the GCC toolchain and integrate it into the environment. Ensure that the toolchain supports rv32imac/ilp32 with the following specifications: @march=rv32imac and @mabi=ilp32.

$ riscv64-unknown-elf-gcc -print-multi-lib
.;
rv32i/ilp32;@march=rv32i@mabi=ilp32
rv32im/ilp32;@march=rv32im@mabi=ilp32
rv32iac/ilp32;@march=rv32iac@mabi=ilp32
rv32imac/ilp32;@march=rv32imac@mabi=ilp32
rv32imafc/ilp32f;@march=rv32imafc@mabi=ilp32f
rv64imac/lp64;@march=rv64imac@mabi=lp64
rv64imafdc/lp64d;@march=rv64imafdc@mabi=lp64d

Debug Tools

1. Use GD32_MCU_Dfu_Tool. (only for Windows)
