ch32x035: add WCH CH32X035 port with the CH32X035G8U6 EVT board - #640
VID/PID: WCH's registered vendor VID 0x1A86 with the SDK EVT demo PID 0xFE10 (no Adafruit allocation needed — vendor board uses vendor VID, same pattern as the espressif port's Espressif PIDs). Source: EVT/EXAM/USB/USBFS/DEVICE/MSC_U-Disk in openwch/ch32x035
UF2_BOARD_ID follows the uf2 spec manufacturer-board-version format: WCH-CH32X035G8U6-EVT-R0-1V2
Description of Change
New port for WCH's CH32X035 family (QingKe V4C RV32IMAC, 62K flash / 20K SRAM, 48MHz HSI, on-chip USB-FS device + USB PD PHY), with the official CH32X035G8U6 EVT (R0-1V2) board as its first target. Builds on the same openwch EVT SDK as ch32v20x (tools/get_deps.py gains a pinned lib/mcu/wch/ch32x035), using TinyUSB's dcd_ch32_usbfs.c with OPT_MCU_CH32X035. Bootloader is 13.0K of its 16K region (LTO); the app starts at 0x4000.
This change adds TinyUF2 support for the CH32X035G8U6 EVT board. It adds board runtime, clock and USB configuration, flash operations, linker layouts, and CMake integration. The build matrix and supported-board list also include the port.
Changes: CH32X035 port
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Board and system configuration ports/ch32x035/boards.h, ports/ch32x035/boards/ch32x035g8u6_r0_1v2/*, ports/ch32x035/ch32x035_conf.h, ports/ch32x035/system_ch32x035.*, ports/ch32x035/tusb_config.h
Adds board identity and hardware settings, flash-size macros, system clock setup, peripheral includes, and TinyUSB configuration.
Board runtime and memory layout ports/ch32x035/boards.c, ports/ch32x035/linker/*
Adds board initialization, USB setup and interrupt handling, application handoff, LED and timer callbacks, and flash operations. Adds bootloader and application linker scripts with memory layouts and section placement.
Family and application build integration ports/ch32x035/CMakeLists.txt, ports/ch32x035/app.cmake, ports/ch32x035/family.cmake, ports/ch32x035/wch-riscv.cfg, ports/family_support.cmake, tools/get_deps.py
Adds family and application build configuration, WCH debugging configuration, and the pinned CH32X035 SDK dependency. family_add_app now forwards BOOT_SIZE when it is defined.
Build and board listings .claude/skills/build/scripts/check_build.py, .github/workflows/build.yml, supported_boards.md
Adds CH32X035 to the RISC-V build matrix. The RISC-V job remains disabled. The build check classifies the port as unbuilt, and the supported-board list includes the EVT board.
adafruit/tinyuf2#489: The build matrix and check_build.py both add CH32X035, relating to keeping build descriptions aligned.
adafruit/tinyuf2#629: The new board_flash_write() returns false for invalid or failed writes, which relates to the issue’s write-result handling objective.
adafruit/tinyuf2#639: Changes UF2 write handling for board flash-write failures; this port’s flash-write function returns its verification result.
adafruit/tinyuf2#616: Adds external application configuration and linker scripts; this change forwards BOOT_SIZE to external application configurations.

Merge Risk: Low · up to a21d8
The port is mergeable. A header that can fail to compile if included on its own should be tidied, and the application validity check is a hardening opportunity rather than a blocker.

Unverified finding
Verification ran but could not confirm this finding. It is shown for review, not as a verified issue.
Run the CH32X035 build in an enabled job.
The riscv job has if: false, so this entry never runs. The build workflow therefore does not publish a release asset for this board; .github/workflows/build_util.yml uploads assets only from its board job. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Add an enabled job for this port. Also update check_build.py to select its board for pull-request builds.

New port for the QingKe V4C (RV32IMAC) CH32X035 family: 62K flash,
20K SRAM, 48MHz HSI, on-chip USB-FS device. First board is WCH's
CH32X035G8U6 EVT (R0-1V2). The full flow is verified on hardware:
MSC enumeration, UF2 drag-drop flashing, auto reset, app validity
check, double-tap and the jump into the application.
Silicon notes baked into the port:
- flash is executed from the 0x00000000 alias but the controller
takes 0x08000000-based addresses (FLASH_BASE) for ADDR and the
fast-mode buffer loads; UF2 0-based addresses are translated
- board_flash_write() rejects pages outside the application region:
uf2_write_block() passes the file's targetAddr through unfiltered,
so a family-matching UF2 linked at address 0 must not erase the
bootloader itself
- jumping to the app goes through a pending software interrupt
(SW_Handler), the WCH IAP pattern: a plain branch into the app
traps on the app startup's csrw 0xbc0 with mcause=2
- mstatus (csr 0x300) reads trap on V4C, so IRQ masking around
flash ops uses unconditional __disable_irq()/__enable_irq()
- no backup registers: the double-tap flag is the last RAM word at
a fixed address shared by the bootloader and app linker scripts
(outside the startup bss clear), validated against RCC reset
flags in board_init2()
- UF2 family ID reuses 0x699B62EC (CH32V2xx/V3xx, same as the
TinyUSB BSP); USB VID/PID is WCH's own demo pair 1A86:FE10

143-143: Trivial · Functional Correctness · Low value
Erased-flash check can accept an invalid application.
board_app_valid only compares the first word with two erased patterns. A partially written or corrupted application still passes. The bootloader then jumps to it, and the device can appear bricked until the user forces DFU. A stronger check is possible. For example, verify that the first word has the expected instruction encoding, or store a CRC or marker that is written last. This is a hardening suggestion. It does not block the PR.

Review comment at @ports/ch32x035/boards.c at line 143:
Strengthen board_app_valid beyond checking whether the first word matches either erased pattern; validate the application using an established instruction encoding or integrity marker/CRC, and ensure the check reliably rejects partially written or corrupted images before the bootloader jumps to them. Preserve the existing valid-application behavior and use the firmware’s established image format or validation mechanism rather than assuming an encoding.

Predates this PR: base dc2f6f8's build.yml already had 'riscv: if: false' with only ch32v20x. check_build.py:62-64 registers ch32x035 in UNBUILT ('its riscv job is disabled in build.yml') — the repo's designed mechanism for ports no CI job builds.
This is the repo-wide contract, and this port is stronger than its sibling: ports/ch32v20x/boards.c:136 accepts any single non-erased word, ports/stm32f3/boards.c:147 range-checks one word; no TinyUF2 port verifies a CRC or marker, and the app image format defines none to check.
