Lichee Tang Nano9K FPGA User Guide
【Introduction】
The Tang Nano 9K, powered by Gowin's GW1NR-9 FPGA chip, is a versatile and feature-rich development board. It features several often used connectors, including HDMI, RGB screen, and SPI screen interfaces, aswell as a 32Mbit SPI flash and six LEDs. It has 8640 LUT4 logic units, an onboard 27MHz clock and 2 PLLs meaning, as well as basic FPGA designs, it can also be used for full risc-v softcores such as PicoRV.
【Comparison】
Tang Nano 9K is the 5th product of Sipeed Tang series. Several Tang FPGA products are compared in the table below, if you need a more feature-rich board consider the Tang Nano 20K.

【Getting Started】
Download User Guide: Access all necessary PDF documents by downloading our comprehensive user guide package.
Install IDE & License Configuration: Set up your Integrated Development Environment (IDE) and configure your license by following this guide.
Software User Guide: Refer to the "SUG100-2.6E_Gowin Software User Guide.pdf" in the downloaded package for detailed software instructions.
Examples in the source code repository includes a PicoRV softcore and a HDMI display example, among other examples.
【Reference and Examples】
You can access several example projects on our Examples Page.
【Hardware Resources】
- Access all necessary hardware files at Hardware Files.
【Attention and Best Practices】
Troubleshooting: If you encounter any issues, consult our Tang Questions page first.
Avoid using JTAG, MODE0/1, and DONE pins unless necessary. For details, refer to SUG100-2.6E_Gowin Software User Guide.pdf.
Static Electricity Precautions: Always discharge static electricity before handling the PCBA to prevent damage.
GPIO Voltage Compliance: Ensure that the actual working voltage of GPIOs does not exceed their rated value as indicated in the schematic. Exceeding these limits can cause permanent damage to the PCBA.
FPC Cable Connection: When connecting FPC flexible cables, ensure that the cable is fully inserted into its base without any offset.
Avoid Short Circuits: Prevent liquids or metals from coming into contact with the component pads on the PCBA while it's operating, as this could cause a short circuit and damage the PCBA.
Handling Multiplexed IO and HDMI Ports: Be aware that the HDMI IO ports are pulled up. When using IOs routed to pin headers, they may not operate as intended.
