Loongson ZhiLong V3.0 Embedded Development User Guide

About this manual

This manual serves as an introductory tutorial for embedded system development based on the domestic Loongson SOC chip, specifically targeting the ZhiLong V3.0 development board. It covers the full spectrum of software development, from bare-metal operations to advanced application programming using the RT-Thread operating system.

The content is structured into three main parts: a basic introduction covering hardware structure and tool installation; an operating system section detailing core concepts like threads, timers, synchronization, memory management, file systems, and network programming; and a peripheral driver section providing examples for I2C, SPI, CAN, LCD, RTC, PWM, and GPIO interfaces. This manual is written in Chinese.
