I see you have experience with these things! There are indeed some things that don't work with the Gowin EDA (at least on Linux), and things that require incantations!
For not much more money you can get the rather more capable Tang Primer 20K. You get roughly double the resources, 128MB of DDR3 RAM and an optional base board that can host HDMI and USB among other peripherals.
The analyzer oscilloscope works for me only on Windows, where I have found it to be useful on both the Tang Nano 9K and the Tang Nano 20K. Tools version 1.9.9.03 education is better than the older version. But I have never gotten the oscilloscope to work on Linux (Ubuntu 22.04.05). The loader/programmer is also problematic on Linux but works ok on Windows. In the end, better to use Windows for Gowin if you can.
@@electronics.tinker it is sad that it doesnt work on linux... as for the programmer i found out that openFPGALloader works fine with ubuntu (it is mentioned on their website as am alternative). I hope they make an alternayive to gao too. Their fpgas are nice and affordable, it would be great to work on linux too
how do i downnload this on wwindows? i have already downloaded it and installed it but it asks for aliscence, i have applied but havent heard back from them in a month.
I have been using the educational version that does not require (or ask for) a license. Maybe you downloaded the commercial version. Gowin recently updated the software to a non-beta version. The file I downloaded for Windows have name Gowin_V1.9.9.03_Education_x64_win.zip. It contains a conventional Windows installer.
Hi, I see your comment about "no luck posting" but do not see any sign of a previous comment. It does not look like it was somehow held for review by me. I have had a similar experience where I try to comment on some other persons channel and never see the comment. My comment that failed to appear contained a web link. Could RU-vid silently reject those? I don't know. I was not able to figure it out. Sorry you are having trouble. I appreciate it when people take the time to comment.
I have these thissh script: my verilog file and my io map file. I dont think you need all this GUI stuff fil_v="main.v" fil_io="io_map.cst" yosys -q -D LEDS_NR=6 -p "read_verilog $fil_v; synth_gowin -json net1.json" yowasp-nextpnr-gowin -q --json net1.json --write net2.json --device GW1NR-LV9QN88PC6/I5 --family GW1N-9C --cst $fil_io gowin_pack -d GW1N-9C -o main.fs net2.json openFPGALoader -b tangnano9k main.fs
You are using an open source tool chain which has its advantages. But. using Gowin hard IP blocks might be harder without the Gowin tool chain. I am not sure. Thanks for the comment.
