An STM32 or Artery AT32-based Gotek drive or clone.

Open your programming utility (e.g., Artery ISP Programmer) and select the correct port (often USB DFU ).

The primary purpose of hxc-fw-installer.hex is to prepare a "blank" or factory-stock Gotek drive for the HxC ecosystem. Once this .hex file is flashed onto the drive's internal memory, it installs a specialized bootloader that enables future firmware updates to be performed simply by using a USB stick, eliminating the need for further hardware-level programming.
