Tang Nano 20K: where to start

Start with board recognition, exact device selection, LED example, flash/SRAM programming distinction and board-revision pinout check.

Bring up the Tang Nano 20K with the official LED guide first. Confirm the board enumerates, select GW2AR-LV18QN88C8/I7 in Gowin EDA, then test programming. Move to HDMI or audio only after LED and UART paths are known-good.
