Gowin EDA (FPGA Designer) 1.9.12.04 (x64)

Software Overview

---

Gowin EDA is the integrated design system for Gowin FPGA devices, covering the development process from RTL description through FPGA bitstream generation. Its workflow combines design optimization, synthesis, automatic implementation, graphical interaction, device download, and online debugging.
The environment is designed to support Gowin's low-power and cost-oriented FPGA architecture and provides the tools required to develop and implement FPGA-based designs.

Key Features

---

• Integrated FPGA development environment covering design entry through device programming and debugging
• RTL synthesis and design optimization for Gowin FPGA devices
• Automatic place and route and bitstream generation
• Graphical interface for FPGA design implementation
• Support for Gowin IP cores and hardware interface components
• USB 3.2 PHY support for 20 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 5 Gbps operation
• GMT hard-core support including matrix transposition
• RNG hard-core support for random number generation
• UBM hard-core support for arbitrary bit mapping
• PCIe SGDMA interrupt mode support
• USB Device Controller enhancements for High Speed and Full Speed control
• DDR3 Memory Interface improvements for simulation consistency
• USB3.1 PHY descrambling correction for full-bandwidth transmission

Why Choose Gowin EDA (FPGA Designer)

---

Gowin EDA provides a centralized environment for engineers working with Gowin FPGA devices. Instead of using separate tools for major implementation stages, designers can manage RTL entry, synthesis, implementation, bitstream creation, programming, and debugging through an integrated workflow.
Its IP-oriented development model also provides access to specialized components for interfaces, memory, processing, and control functions, making it suitable for a variety of programmable logic development projects.

What's New

---

The 1.9.12.04 release includes new IP support, functional enhancements, and fixes across the Gowin software environment.

IP Release Notes

• USB 3.2 PHY (V1.0): Added support for USB 3.2 PHY operation at 20 Gbps, 10 Gbps, and 5 Gbps.
• GMT (V1.0): Added support for the GMT hard core, including matrix transposition.
• RNG (V1.0): Added support for the RNG hard core for random number generation.
• UBM (V1.0): Added support for the UBM hard core for arbitrary bit mapping.
• PCIe SGDMA (V1.1): Added interrupt mode support.
• CSC (V1.3): Added support for GW3A devices.
• EasyCDR (V1.5): Added support for GW3A devices.
• USB Device Controller (V3.4): Added a High Speed manual enable control option and interface for switching between High Speed and Full Speed modes through logic control. The option is disabled by default and is intended primarily for UAC audio applications.
• USB Device Controller (V3.4): Added endpoint valid information to the debug interface and an option for configuring device descriptor interface timing so descriptors can be stored in external RAM.
• PDM2PCM (V1.7): Updated the IP core to correct an error involving data output amplitude truncation.
• DDR3 Memory Interface (V6.1): Fixed an issue that could cause differences between VO and RTL simulation results when the memory clock frequency exceeded 400 MHz.
• PWM (V1.1): Changed the Cycle Width GUI parameter range from 2-32 to 4-32.
• USB3.1 PHY (V1.2): Fixed a descrambling error between two consecutive SKPs during full-bandwidth transmission.
