3 Getting started
The EVAL board uses Mini USB connecter to get power DC +5V, which is the hardware
system normal work voltage. A GD-Link on board is necessary in order to download and
debug programs. Select the correct boot mode and then power on, the LEDPWR will turn
on, which indicates that the power supply is OK.
There are Keil version and IAR version of all projects. Keil version of the projects are
created based on Keil MDK-ARM 5.25 uVision5. IAR version of the projects are created
based on IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM 8.20.2. During use, the following points
should be noted:
1. If you use Keil uVision5 to open the project. In order to solve the "Device Missing (s)"
problem, you can install GigaDevice.GD32E230_DFP.1.0.0.pack.
2. If you use IAR to open the project, install IAR_GD32E230_ADDON_1.0.0.exe to load
the associated files.

5.1 GPIO_Runing_Led
5.1.1 DEMO Purpose
This demo includes the following functions of GD32 MCU:
Learn to use GPIO control the LED
Learn to use SysTick to generate 1ms delay
GD32E230C-START board has four LEDs. The LED1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 are
controlled by GPIO. This demo will show how to light the LEDs.
5.1.2 DEMO Running Result
Download the program < 01_GPIO_Runing_Led > to the EVAL board, LED1, LED2,
LED3 and LED4 will turn on and off in sequence with interval of 1000ms, repeat the
process.
5.2 GPIO_Keyboard_Polling_mode
5.2.1 DEMO Purpose
This demo includes the following functions of GD32 MCU:
Learn to use GPIO control the LED and the KEY
Learn to use SysTick to generate 1ms delay
GD32E230C-START board has two keys and four LEDs. The two keys are Reset key
and Wakeup key. The LED1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 are controlled by GPIO.
This demo will show how to use the Wakeup key to control the LED1. When press down
the Wakeup Key, it will check the input value of the IO port. If the value is 1 and will wait
for 50ms. Check the input value of the IO port again. If the value still is 1, it indicates that
the button is pressed successfully and toggle LED1.

Download the program < 03_EXTI_KeyBoard_Interrupt_mode > to the EVAL board, all
the LEDs are flashed once for test and LED1 is on, press down the Wakeup Key, LED1
will be turned off. Press down the Wakeup Key again, LED1 will be turned on.
5.4 TIMER_KeyBoard_EXTI
5.4.1 DEMO Purpose
This demo includes the following functions of GD32 MCU:
Learn to use GPIO control the LED and the KEY
Learn to use EXTI to generate external interrupt
Learn to use TIMER to generate PWM
GD32E230C-START board has two keys and four LEDs. The two keys are Reset key
and Wakeup key. The LED1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 are controlled by GPIO.
This demo will show how to use the TIMER PWM to trigger EXTI interrupt to toggle the
state of LED2 and EXTI interrupt line to control the LED1. When press down theWakeup
Key, it will produce an interrupt. In the interrupt service function, the demo will toggle
LED1.
