(Bonus 3) GD32L233 Review - Unboxing and showing off the big box [Copy link]

<i class="pstatus"> This post was last edited by Yunhu Congbai on 2022-1-26 14:29 </i> ## Unboxing The board I ordered on the afternoon of January 20th arrived by plane on the morning of January 21st. In one word, it was really fast. I went to the company gate to pick up the express. I thought it should be a delicate mobile phone box, but it turned out to be a big box. How big is it? Look, it's so big that you can put a trash can in it; it's almost as big as my monitor-_-  GigaDevice is really nice. Did they give me a whole family bucket? Hahaha. With excitement, I opened the express in 3 seconds using the Xiao Li knife technique that I have practiced for more than 40 years. Oh, hohoho. . . Well, it’s ok, at least the board is still there, -_-  I took a look at the board and found that there is no pin header included. It is indeed authentic!!! The rest are exactly the same as the official ones: - GD Link: about 33.33% of the area - MCU + boot pin header + SWD pin header - 1 serial port, 1 USB, 2 buttons, and the rest are IO port pins## Comparison chart GD32L233 (left) and STM32F103 (right):  Comparison of GD32L233 (left) and GD32F450 (right):  ## Show off the details and solder on a cute little pin header:  Install a beautiful little copper pillar made of copper from Zijin Mining, whose stock has not risen:  Hahaha. GD32L233 close-up macro lens:  GD32F103 close-up macro lens on GD-Link:  Power on, connect one end of the USB cable to the computer and the other end to the GD-Link, the board runs normally, it is a marquee.  ## Later, I looked at the L233 datasheet and found that it can support SLCD, which is segment LCD. I have already spent a lot of money to buy a 68 LCD, and I will play with it later. [Note: This article was first published on eeworld. ]

I have a sad thing to tell you, this device does not support SLCD.

It is indeed not supported

Looks like I have to buy an SLCD driver...

This packaging is so wasteful, it should be packed with some New Year’s goods.

Too stingy
