At the current stage it works for me. Have fun!
Info below is also in the readme of the board definition directory.

*A3, VREF and hardware I2C don't work on CH32X033F8P6 0-series (lot number with the penultimate bit 5 being 0).

Tested features

  • digitalWrite()/digitalRead() - can use Arduino pin numbers or PAx notation.
  • analogWrite() - 12-bit resolution, pins marked with ~ in pinout above.
  • analogRead() - very stable 12-bit resolution, but issues with A3/A0/PADC_VREF
  • Serial.print() - Tested 115200 bps on Serial2 (PA2/PA3) and Serial1 (PA10/PA11), as set in variant_CH32X033F8P6.h
  • EEPROM library - may need improvement (first test showed corrupted data written).
  • Pin PB7 (Arduino pin 9) can be configured as hardware reset /RST using WCH Link Utility. (See issue Hardware reset pin doesn't work on CH32X033 or CH32X035 #123)

Known issues/limitations

  • Pins PA7/PB0, PC16/PC11 and PC17/PC10 cannot be used for output.
  • Any signal on A0 seems to show on other ADC pins when disconnected.
  • A3, PADC_VREF and I2C don't work on CH32X033F8P6 0-series (lot number with the penultimate bit 5 being 0).
  • To counter missing I2C the Software_I2C library by Seeed Studio is a good alternative, although it needs some changes to improve compatibility in I2C scanning.
