Tang Nano 9k FPGA board - Gowin GW1NR-9 FPGA with 8640 LUT4 + 6480 flip flops
Tang Nano 9K FPGA is an exquisite development board based on the Gowin GW1NR-9 FPGA chip following the Tang Nano 1K and Tang Nano 4K. It comes with 8640 LUTs, an HDMI connector, RGB screen interface connector, SPI screen connector, 32Mbit SPI flash, and 6 LEDs, all of which make it ideal for running Verilog HDL code emulating a PicoRV32 RISC-V soft-core and further design.

Description
What is Tang Nano 9K?
Tang Nano 9K is an exquisite development board based on the Gowin GW1NR-9 FPGA chip featuring 6480 flip flops and an extended DRAM of 64Mbit. Compared to the predecessor Tang Nano 1K and Tang Nano 4K with about 1152 and 4608 LUTs respectively, Tang Nano 9K has pushed the limits to around 8640 LUT4 logic units. These logic units can not only be used for various complex logic circuit designs but also used for running a complete PicoRV soft-core. It meets various needs of users, such as learning FPGA, verifying softcore, and further design.
This board contains a USB Type-C interface for the power supply and downloading code. There is a JTAG downloader on the FPGA board, so you can simply use a USB cable connected to the board to download the code without an extra downloader outside the board.
It is equipped with an HDMI connector, RGB screen interface connector, SPI screen connector, 32Mbit SPI flash, and 6 LEDs. Tang Nano 9K loses the Cortex-M3 core and support for the OV2640 camera, but gains a MicroSD card, more display interfaces, a more complete debugger, and obviously extra logical units.
Why use Tang Nano 9K to emulate?
- To make sure the accuracy and reliability of the function of an FPGA chip
- To shorten the time of launching an FPGA based product and reduce the costs
Applications
-
Learning FPGA and Verifying an FPGA in Internetwork communication, AI, and Consumer Electronics.
-
Verifying RISC-V based CPU for server, domestic appliance, Industrial, and thumb-sized sensors.

Matters need attention
- It is recommended to use Gowin V1.9.8.03 Education Edition: Click here
But if you want to use more IP cores, you need to download other versions of IDE, and apply for a license: Click here - This version of a programmer is recommended: Click here
- Avoid using JTAG, MODE0/1, and DONE pins. If you really need to use these pins, please refer to the UG284-1.8E: schematic manual.pdf to see how to enable IO mux.
- Please avoid static electricity hitting PCBA; Please release the static electricity from the hand before contacting PCBA
- The working voltage of each GPIO has been marked in the schematic. Please do not let the actual working voltage of GPIO exceed the rated value, because it will cause permanent damage to PCBA
- When connecting FPC flexible cable, make sure that the cable is completely inserted into the cable without offset
- Avoid any liquid or metal touching the pads of components on PCBA during working, because this will cause a short circuit and damage PCBA

from order viewgood product,
-
from order viewYes, it does what's being advertised
-
from order viewThe Tang Nano 9k is like most Sipeed product fairly well made and designed. However documentation is rather limited in english, it's slightly better in chinese and using google translate despite it's limitations makes it readable and gives you the basics to get started.

from order viewThis FPGA works as specified and is very useful for a variety of projects. 9K LUTs and several memory types is enough for building a RISC-V SOC with room to spare. And the HDMI output is more useful than a LCD although harder to use. I've used this FPGA for several FPGA projects, implementing various retro CPUs and driving led strips. Note that to use the Gowin IDE you need to obtain a node locked license through the Gowin Website. I'm still trying to figure out how to run verilog testbed simulations on the IDE.
