Build Steps

Open the Project file nes.gprj in GoWin IDE.
Go to Project > Configuration menu.
In Synthesize > General tab, go to Top Module/Entity textbox and write NES_Tang20k (It is case sensitive, be careful!).
In Synthesize > General tab, go to Verilog Language combobox and select System Verilog 2017.

In Place and Route > Dual Purpose Pins tab, go to SSPI as General Purpose IO checkbox and mark it.

Click Apply and then OK to exit the Project Configurations.

Note: the master branch targets the Tang Nano 20K board. Use the 0.4 tag if you want to build for the Tang Primer 20K.

Enjoy!!
