alt Hacker News> As a side note: replacing the chip took longer than expected. I accidentally ordered a GD32F350R8T6, instead of the GD32F350RBT6 that was in the device originally. These two types differ in their flash sizes: 64 kB vs 128 kB. Don’t ask me why GigaDevice thought this naming scheme and this font was a good idea
An 8 looking almost exactly like a B. What a terrible idea.

Also the self patching back into protected mode! ugh - good thing they ordered more than one!

Blame STM. Those clones copy (..among other things) the naming convention from STMicroelectronics parts like stm32f103c8t6/stm32f103cBt6. Guess what's the only difference between those.
Oh, and .. since STM likes binning/product segmentation, there's a good chance that if you ignore the reported flash size and still try to flash the full 128K, it works on those models..
