Programming and debugging

Building & Flashing

In order to upload the application to the device, you’ll need OpenOCD with GD32V support. Download the tarball for your OS from the SiPEED longan nano download site and extract it.

The Zephyr SDK uses a bundled version of OpenOCD by default. You can overwrite that behavior by adding the -DOPENOCD=<path/to/riscv-openocd/bin/openocd> -DOPENOCD_DEFAULT_PATH=<path/to/riscv-openocd/share/openocd/scripts> parameter when building:

Here is an example for building the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b longan_nano samples/basic/blinky -- -DOPENOCD=<path/to/riscv-openocd/bin/openocd> -DOPENOCD_DEFAULT_PATH=<path/to/riscv-openocd/share/openocd/scripts>
west flash

When using a custom toolchain it should be enough to have the downloaded version of the binary in your PATH.

Debugging

You can debug an application in the usual way. Here is an example for the Blinky application.

# From the root of the zephyr repository
west build -b longan_nano samples/basic/blinky
west debug
