Caution

SHU compatibility firmware limits

Do not use SHU compatible with these VCU versions or newer:

  • F3 VCU 1.6.3
  • G3 VCU 1.6.3
  • ZT3 VCU 1.5.9
  • GT3 VCU 1.7.2 - for reference only: x3utils does not support SHU compatible on GT3 at any version

Check the installed VCU firmware version before continuing. v1.8.1 displays this warning and requires a five-second delay and explicit confirmation before any SHU dump or hardware action.

The original firmware is backed up first; if this was already used on newer firmware, restore that backup.

This hotfix adds an unavoidable warning before SHU-compatible flashing and fixes the standalone RDP transcript so the saved file contains the actual conclusion.

What's changed

  • Added the firmware compatibility warning to Windows, Linux, and macOS SHU-compatible flashing.
  • Added a five-second delay and explicit confirmation before any SHU dump or hardware action; choosing N cancels safely.
  • RDP Check now saves one complete, ANSI-free transcript under special/rdp/logs/.
  • The RDP transcript now includes the connection mode, every OpenOCD attempt, evidence, verdict, and final log path.
  • Windows Clear, Rescue, and Enable also use the new RDP log folder.
  • Existing RDP logs under backup/ are left untouched.

Validation

The SHU warning, five-second delay, and safe cancellation passed on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

RDP Check passed on real hardware in launcher mode A on all three platforms. Each saved transcript contained the complete OpenOCD output and the same decisive unlocked evidence: USD ffff5aa5, consistent FAP 0xA5 / complement 0x5A, readable main flash, and the correct NOT PROTECTED verdict.

No destructive RDP action was required for this hotfix validation.
