Programming

1) Download Gowin EDA from Gowin (account required)

2) Install Gowin EDA after it downloads. You only need the Gowin Programmer, but you can install the main Gowin package if you want

3) When the installer finishes, ensure that you check the box to install the drivers for your operating system (not needed for xFlasher users, the xFlasher drivers are sufficient)

4) Launch Gowin Programmer

5) Change the “Series” to “GW1N”, and ensure the “Device” is set to “GW1N-1”

6) Double click under “Operation” to open the “Device configuration”

7) Change the “Access Mode” to “embFlash Erase, Program”

8) Under “File name”, set the .fs you wish to program

9) The entry should now look like this:

10) Right click anywhere on the entry, and click "Cable Setting", "Cable"

11) Set the "Frequency" to "10MHz" and click "Save", if this does not work, you can try other values

12) Connect your programming cable to the chip according to the below picture, as the pinout does not match other glitch chips

13) Click the “Program/Configure” button
