Gap: this repo has no WCH content at all (verified 2026-07-21 — no wch/ vendor dir, zero ch32* files in the tree), while FastLED/fbuild now builds nine CH32V families and its audits have to cite scattered web mirrors instead of pinned documents.
Request
Add a wch/ vendor tree following the existing espressif/soc/* layout:
wch/mcu/CH32V003/ datasheet.pdf + reference-manual.pdf + SOURCES.md
wch/mcu/CH32V006/ (CH32V005/006/007 + CH32M007 family docs)
wch/mcu/CH32V103/
wch/mcu/CH32V203/ (V20x DS covers 203/208; RM is CH32FV2x_V3x)
wch/mcu/CH32V208/
wch/mcu/CH32V30x/ (V303/305/307)
wch/mcu/CH32X035/
wch/mcu/CH32L103/
wch/probe/WCH-Link/ WCH-LinkUserManual.pdf + SOURCES.md
PDFs from wch-ic.com product pages (English versions); SOURCES.md records the exact URL + retrieval date + document version, per repo convention.
Why now
The 2026-07-21 CH32V bench-readiness sweep in FastLED/fbuild had to verify chip facts (flash/RAM maps, bootloader presence and entry: e.g. CH32V003 has no USB and a software-entry-only UART bootloader; X035 ISP entry is PC16/PC17 at power-on, not BOOT0) against third-party mirrors (akizukidenshi.com PDF mirrors, Olimex's WCH-LinkUserManual copy). Those facts now back board JSON data and the upcoming wlink/wchisp deployers in fbuild — they should be citable against pinned in-repo documents. This was also flagged as the "stretch" item in FastLED/fbuild#1102 (sub-item #1109).
