There are Keil version and IAR version of all projects. Keil version of the projects are created
based on Keil MDK-ARM 4.74 uVision4. IAR version of the projects are created based on
IAR Embedded Workbench for ARM 7.40.2. During use, the following points should be
noted:
1. If you use Keil uVision4 to open the project, install the GD32F1x0_AddOn.3.2.0.exe to
load the associated files.
2. If you use Keil uVision5 to open the project, there are two ways to solve the "Device
Missing (s)" problem. One is to install GigaDevice.GD32F1x0_DFP.3.2.0.pack. In Project
menu, select the Manage sub menu, click on the “Version Migrate 5 Format...” menu, the Keil
uVision4 project will be converted to Keil uVision5 pr
oject. Then add “C:\Keil_v5\ARM\Pack
\ARM\CMSIS\4.2.0\CMSIS\
Include” to C/C++ in Option for Target. The other is to install
Addon directly. Select the installation directory of Keil uVision5 software, such as C:\Keil_v5,
in Destination Folder of Folder Selection. Select the corresponding device in Device of
Option for Target and add “C:\Keil_v5\ARM\Pack\ARM\CMSIS\4.2.0\CMSIS\Include” to
C/C++ in Option for Target.
3. If you use IAR to open the project, install IAR_GD32F1x0_ADDON.3.2.0.exe to load the
associated files.
