Help please. I recently purchased a GC-01 from the FNIRSI store on Aliexpress. I opened the case but the chip has no markings on it. The detector is GM4011 2025. Perhaps rather foolishly, I tried to flash it using one of the options!!! |

Have you tried the reset button that is next to the USB connector? The GC-01 should be unbrickable via the USB programming interface (although it can certainly go stupid . . . ) Is the red led on dimly? |

Huge thanks for your reply. Not sure this is the place to ask, but I'll try anyway! |

Still no change/apparent difference so I have to suspect it's me! I should also ask - do I need the bootloader file - because I have not used this "fnirsi-gc01-apm32f103rbt6-bootloader.bin" Using Win 10, I'm simply copying the file "fnirsi-gc01-apm32f103rbt6-v1.6.bin" to what for me is called "BOOTLOADER (D:). There is a file called READY.TXT in this folder. |

https://github.com/Gissio/radpro/releases Not sure what you are looking at, but it would appear to NOT be a Radpro release. (And no, you should not need the bootloader). Your install process ismxorrect for any release . . . |

Is this not correct? I got this from If not correct - can you please advise where I can find the correct release? |

OK - I now definitely have the right one - interestingly firmware files are dated 1 day earlier. But still no change to screen or settings screen. I get nothing at all like the simulator, and it's still seems identical to the FNIRSI file "GC-01_V1.6.bin" |

A number of us with the apm based GC-01's have never gotten anything but the "install" files to load successfully, and what you linked looked like the source that drives the builds I pointed to (which is from the developers git repo). I can't validate what you showed, since there is no .bin file in the image telling me specifically what you used. Are you compiling from source? We have used this successfully https://github.com/Gissio/radpro/releases/download/2.1.1/radpro-fnirsi-gc01-apm32f103rb-2.1.1-install.bin Copy it on twice (as per the install procedure), and the GC-01 should drop the USB drive and come up in it with no intervention required. Oh, and if you copy on a bad file, it will not verify and flash, and it will leave you on what you had prior. (Which aounds like what may be happening). |

That new file did it - and I didn't need the twice copy. FYI none of the other files I used had the -install at the end of the file name Anyway, a huge thanks for your amazing help - I really appreciate your time spent |

No problem! It seems sometimes that the only consistent thing with regard to flashing a GC-01 is the inconsistency . . . |
