5. Select the added GW1NR-9C line and configure writing settings from Configure Device (pencil icon)

Set Access Mode to Embedded Flash Mode and specify the fs file in the swancolorHD-main\bitstream folder for File Name.
The resolution that can be displayed depends on the monitor you are using, so create an fs file that can be displayed appropriately.
(In my case, it had to be 720p, and there was some noise at 75Hz, so I chose swnHD_720p.fs)
Select Save to complete.

6. Flash to Tang Nano from Program/Configure (play icon)

When flashing is completed without any problems, Finished. is displayed.
(I was successful with this, so I don't know what to do if an error occurs...)
