wchisp - WCH ISP Tool in Rust

Command-line implementation of the WCHISPTool in Rust, by the ch32-rs team.

This tool is a work in progress.

NOTE: CH32V003 DOES NOT have a USB ISP interface, use WCH-Link to program
NOTE: This tool is for USB ISP, not using with WCH-Link
- ch32-rs/wlink is a command line tool for WCH-Link

Installing

The prebuilt binaries are available on the Nightly release page.

For Windows users, you will need vc runtime to run the binary. You can download it from Microsoft.

Or else, you can install it from source.

# install libusb for your platform
# macOS
> brew install libusb
# Ubuntu
> sudo apt install libusb-1.0-0-dev

# install wchisp
> cargo install wchisp --git https://github.com/ch32-rs/wchisp
# or use
> cargo install wchisp --force

Prebuilt Binaries

Prebuilt binaries are available on the Github Actions Page. Click the newest runs at Github Actions Page and download the binary from "Artifacts" section.

Note for Windows

If you are using Windows, you need to install the WinUSB driver for your device. See Zadig.

NOTE: This is not compatible with the Official WCH driver you installed with IDE.

Note for Linux

If you are using Linux, you need to set the udev rules for your device.

# /etc/udev/rules.d/50-wchisp.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="4348", ATTRS{idProduct}=="55e0", MODE="0666"
# or replace MODE="0666" with GROUP="plugdev" or something else

Arch Linux

Arch Linux users can install wchisp or wchisp-git via the AUR.
