Getting Started
Get Hardware
RH01T9k is open source. Choose one of these two ways to get started:
- Use the open-source FPGA design
- Program a Tang Nano 9K using the provided bitstream
Option 1: Use the FPGA source
The FPGA source is available on GitHub:
The current project targets the Tang Nano 9K, but the RTL can be ported to other FPGA boards. Board-specific changes may include the system clock configuration, pin assignments, and corresponding timestamp settings in the Python API.
Option 2: Program the provided bitstream
If you do not want to build the FPGA design from source, you can use the provided prebuilt bitstream:
Program the .fs file onto a Tang Nano 9K using the GOWIN programming tools.
Important: This bitstream is built specifically for the Tang Nano 9K. Do not program it onto a different FPGA board.
Next step
Once the board is programmed, continue to Hardware Setup for SPI wiring, pin assignments, voltage requirements, and operating limits.
