Worth knowing
No official Sipeed store price was retrievable on 2026-10-02 (AliExpress page is rendered client-side), so price and availability are left unset.
The litex-boards platform file names the device GW5A-LV60MG121C1/IrES while the Sipeed wiki specifies GW5AT-LV60PG484A; the chip here follows the wiki and Gowin.
Scores and difficulty are editorial estimates, not measured; the entry needs revision-level review of the dock board documents.

Known issues
- PCIe works in x1 mode only. The dock board was designed for GW5AST-LV138. On GW5AT-LV60 SERDES lanes 1 and 3 are swapped, so Sipeed documents PCIe as x1 only for now and notes a possible fix in a future Gowin software update. source
- Minimum Gowin IDE version. GW5AT-LV60PG484A needs the educational IDE 1.9.11.03 or later, or the commercial IDE 1.9.10.03 or later; older versions do not list the device. source
- 3.3 V I/O limit. Sipeed requires 3.3 V IO levels on the GPIO headers; higher voltage can permanently damage the board. source
