Note!

The figure above shows the minimum system diagram for the MSPI MODE. The value of
the MSPI MODE is "010" (GW1N(R)) and “000” (GW2A(R) ). The other fixed pins are
shown in Figure 5-1. The FASTRD_N pin can remain floating in MSPI mode if the clock
frequency is less than 30 MHz.

The connection diagram for programming data to external Flash is

shown in Figure 5-41. The connection diagram for programming external
Flash via the SSPI interface is shown in Figure 5-36.

Note!

The figure above shows the minimum system diagram of programming external Flash via
JTAG. The connection for the other fixed pins is shown in Figure 5-1 .

Gowin FPGA products usually only support one time automatic MSPI

configuration after power up. The GW1N (R)-9, GW2A (R)-18, and GW1NS
series products are improved: GW2A (R)-18 series FPGA support retrying
configuration once; GW1N (R)-9 and GW1NS FPGA support retrying
