1. Summary
GD32E230C-EVAL evaluation board uses GD32E230C8T6 as the main controller. As a
complete development platform of GD32E230 powered by ARM® Cortex™-M23 core,
the board supports full range of peripherals. It uses mini-USB interface to supply 5V
power. GD-Link, Reset, Boot, User button key, LED, I2C, I2S, USART, TFT-LCD, IFRP
LED、IFRP Transceiver, RTC, SPI, ADC and Extension Pin are also included. This
document details its hardware schematic and the relevant applications.

3. Getting started
The EVAL Board uses mini-USB connecter to get power, the hardware system power is
+3.3V. 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 8.32.1. 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 for controlling the LED
Learn to use SysTick to generate 1ms delay
GD32E230C-EVAL 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, four LEDs will turn
on one by one from LED1 to LED4 every 200ms, and then turn off together. 200ms later,
the four LEDs work like previous again.
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-EVAL board has three keys and four LEDs. The three keys are Reset key,
Tamper key and Wakeup key. The LED1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 are controlled by
GPIO.
This demo will show how to use the Tamper key to control the LED2. When press down
the Tamper Key, it will check the input value of the IO port. If the value is 0, wait for 50ms.
Then check the input value of the IO port again. If the value is still 0, indicates that the
button is pressed down successfully, and light the four LED2.
5.2.2. DEMO Running Result
Download the program <02_GPIO_KeyBoard_Polling_mode> to the EVAL board, When
press down the Tamper Key, LED2 will be turned on. Press down the Tamper Key again,
LED2 will be turned off.

5.3. GPIO_KeyBoard_Interrupt_mode
5.3.1. DEMO Purpose
This Demo includes the following functions of GD32 MCU:
Learn to use GPIO to control the LED and the KEY
Learn to use EXTI to generate external interrupt
GD32E230C-EVAL board has three keys and four LEDs. The three keys are Reset key,
Wakeup key and Tamper key. The LED1, LED2, LED3 and LED4 are controlled by
GPIO.
This demo will show how to use EXTI interrupt line to control the LED2. When press
down the Tamper Key, it will produce an interrupt. In the interrupt service function, the
demo will toggle LED2.
5.3.2. DEMO Running Result
Download the program <03_GPIO_KeyBoard_Interrupt_mode> to the EVAL board,
when press down the Tamper Key, LED2 will be turned on. Press down the Tamper Key
again, LED2 will be turned off.
5.4. USART_Printf
5.4.1. DEMO Purpose
This Demo includes the following functions of GD32 MCU:
Learn to retarget the C library printf function to the USART
5.4.2. DEMO Running Result
Download the program <04_USART_Printf> to the EVAL board and run. serial port will
output “usart printf test example!”.

5.5. USART_HyperTerminal_Interrupt
5.5.1. DEMO Purpose
This Demo includes the following functions of GD32 MCU:
Learn to use the EVAL_COM transmit and receive interrupts to communicate with
the hyperterminal
5.5.2. DEMO Running Result
Download the program <05_USART_HyperTerminal_ Interrupt> to the EVAL board and
run. Firstly, the COM sends the “USART interrupt test” to the hyperterminal and waits
for receiving data from the hyperterminal that you must send. The string that you have
sent is stored in the receiver_buffer array. The receive buffer have a receivesize=32
bytes as maximum. After that, compare rxcount with receivesize. If rxcount is same with
receivesize, the COM sends the “USART receive successfully!” to the hyperterminal.
The information via a serial port output as following:
5.6. USART_DMA
5.6.1. DEMO Purpose
This Demo includes the following functions of GD32 MCU:
Learn to use the COM transmit and receive using DMA
5.6.2. DEMO Running Result
Download the program < 06_USART_DMA > to the EVAL board and run. Firstly, the
COM sends the “a usart dma function test example!
USART DMA receive and transmit example, please input 10 bytes:” to the
hyperterminal and then loops waiting for receiving max 10 datas from the hyperterminal.
Every time if the number of data you enter is equalto or more than 10 bytes, USART will
send 10 bytes to the hyperterminal.

5.7. ADC_Conversion_Triggered_By_Timer
5.7.1. DEMO Purpose
This Demo includes the following functions of GD32 MCU:
Learn to use ADC to convert analog to digital
Learn to use TIMER to generate a channel compare event
Learn to use LCD to show theADC converted result
TIMER0 CH0 event triggers ADC conversion, the value displayed on the LCD
corresponds to the ADC analog input, and changes with it. The converted data are
moved to SRAM through DMA continuously.
5.7.2. DEMO Running Result
Download the program <07_ADC_conversion_triggered_by_timer> to the
GD32E230C-EVAL board, adjust the adjustable potentiometer knob to change the
analog input. The ADC, which is triggered by TIMER0 CH0 event, will convert the analog
input, and you will see the result, a voltage curve, on the LCD. The curve adjusts with
the analog input.
5.8. Comparator_Obtain_Brightness
5.8.1. DEMO Purpose
This Demo includes the following functions of GD32 MCU:
Learn to use comparator output compare result
There are two comparators on EVAL board and each comparator has two inputs. In this
demo, one input is 3.3V, and the other one is the 1/4 reference voltage. Compare the
two input voltages, the output is a high or low level, and the LED2 will performs the
corresponding action.
5.8.2. DEMO Running Result
Download the program <08_Comparator_obtain_brightness> to the EVAL board,

comparing two input voltage, if output level is high, LED2 is off, otherwise LED2 is off.
5.9. I2C_EEPROM
5.9.1. DEMO Purpose
This Demo includes the following functions of GD32 MCU:
Learn how to use the master transmitting mode of the I2C module
Learn how to use the master receiving mode of the I2C module
Learn to read and write the EEPROM with the I2C interface
5.9.2. DEMO Running Result
Download the program <09_I2C_EEPROM> to the EVAL board and run. Connect serial
cable to COM, and open the HyperTerminal to show the print message.
Firstly, the data of 256 bytes will be written to the EEPROM from the address 0x00 and
printed by the serial port. Then, reading the EEPROM from address 0x00 for 256 bytes
and the result will be printed. Finally, compare the data that were written to the EEPROM
and the data that were read from the EEPROM. If they are the same, the serial port will
output "I2C-AT24C02 test passed!" and the four LEDs lights flashing, otherwise the
serial port will output "Err: data read and write aren't matching." and all the four LEDs
light.
The output information via the serial port is as following.

5.10. QSPI_FLASH
5.10.1. DEMO Purpose
This demo includes the following functions of GD32 MCU:
Learn to use the Quad-SPI mode of SPI unit to read and write NOR Flash with the
SPI interface
5.10.2. DEMO Running Result
The computer serial port line connected to the COM port of development board, set the
baud rate of HyperTerminal software to 115200, 8 bits data bit, 1 bit stop bit.
Download the program <10_QSPI_FLASH> to the EVAL board, the HyperTerminal
software can observe the operation condition and will display the ID of the flash, 256
bytes data which are written to and read from flash. Compare the data that were written
to the flash and the data that were read from the flash. If they are the same, the serial
port will output “SPI-GD25Q16 Test Passed!”, otherwise, the serial port will output “Err:
Data Read and Write aren't Matching.”. At last, turn on and off the LEDs one by one. The
following is the experimental results.
