RT-Thread Longan Nano Test Report

Test Environment

Operating System Information

Hardware Information

  • Longan Nano
  • A USB to UART Debugger
  • JTAG Debugger
  • A Type-C Cable

Installation Steps

Environment Setup

Download and extract the toolchain and OpenOCD, then set up the toolchain directory:

wget https://download.nucleisys.com/upload/files/toolchain/gcc/nuclei_riscv_newlibc_prebuilt_linux64_nuclei-2024.tar.bz2
tar -xjvf nuclei_riscv_newlibc_prebuilt_linux64_nuclei-2024.tar.bz2
wget https://download.nucleisys.com/upload/files/toolchain/openocd/nuclei-openocd-2024.02.28-linux-x64.tgz
tar -xzvf nuclei-openocd-2024.02.28-linux-x64.tgz
export NUCLEI_TOOL_ROOT=$(pwd)

Download the SDK:

git clone https://github.com/Nuclei-Software/nuclei-sdk.git
cd nuclei-sdk
echo "NUCLEI_TOOL_ROOT=$(echo $NUCLEI_TOOL_ROOT)" > setup_config.sh
source setup.sh

Compiling the Code

Compile RT-Thread:

cd application/rtthread/msh
make SOC=gd32vf103 BOARD=gd32vf103c_longan_nano clean
make SOC=gd32vf103 BOARD=gd32vf103c_longan_nano all

Flashing the Image

Connect to the development board via your JTAG debugger. Note that the board should be powered on while flashing.

Make sure your debugger and OpenOCD binary is supported by the build system. For the former, consider editing relevant settings in ../../../SoC/gd32vf103/Board/gd32vf103c_longan_nano/openocd_gd32vf103.cfg to match your JTAG debugger. e.g. with Sipeed SLogic Combo 8 debugger at DAP-Link mode:

diff --git a/SoC/gd32vf103/Board/gd32vf103c_longan_nano/openocd_gd32vf103.cfg b/SoC/gd32vf103/Board/gd32vf103c_longan_nano/openocd_gd32vf103.cfg

 set _CHIPNAME riscv

Also adding an udev rule if necessary (refer to https://github.com/arduino/OpenOCD/blob/master/contrib/60-openocd.rules) For the latter, make sure your OpenOCD version is up to date with support for your debugger; a known usable version is at https://github.com/xpack-dev-tools/openocd-xpack/releases/tag/v0.12.0-4

When all set, flash the binary with:

make SOC=gd32vf103 BOARD=gd32vf103c_longan_nano upload

System Startup

Connect to the development board via the serial port.

Expected Results

The system should boot up normally, and information should be viewable via the onboard serial port.

Actual Results

The system booted up normally, and information are viewable via the onboard serial port.
