I (think I) correctly followed the flashing directions, to use a USB A-A cable,
and used the GigaDevice software to upload the gotek_hxc_fw_installer.bin.
Then placed the bin file, and HxCFEUSB_V5_2_1_2a.UPD on the Fat32 usb key.
Initially, the drive powered on, with only the bottom _ segment of the 8.8.8. display lit up, and, eventually, it showed the number 887.
I presume this means it's not compatible with the STM32F105?

BUT
It is probably not compatible with the GD32F015R8T6
But it is interesting that the install firmware is almost working.

Re: Gotek support on a GigaDevice GD32F015R8T6
Does it normally show the three bottom lines of the 8.8.8. led display lit up, as part of the install?
I presume there's no debug output, to see where the process is stalling?
Otherwise, yeah!
From what I can see, the GD32F105 appears to be fairly compatible, but, appears to be quite a bit faster than the STM32F105.
Interesting comparison of the F103: https://smdprutser.nl/blog/stm32f103-vs-gd32f103/
The F103 appears to be an exact 100% compatible mcu, but, the F105, it seems, is not!
Anyhow!
All I really want, now, from my floppy emulator, is, connection to a small screen, and on loading of a disk image (.hfe, .adf, whatever) and load a similarly named .bmp/.png, and show it on the tiny screen!
Just means I can get an almost exact floppy disk replacement experience![Very Happy :D](./images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
"insert" the disk, disk label shows on the screen, and we continue on as normal.
Interesting idea??
I know we already have on-monitor disk access display, but, this is something a bit different![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
A better user experience? Maybe!

I have no GD32F105 gotek here, so it will very hard for me to support it properly.

Ah!
I can post you mine?
I have a spare one. I ordered some Artery from lcsc, so, don't go to too much trouble, on my account.
