Help (Safe Pwr-On) GD77

Post by PU4RON » Thu Jan 30, 2025 12:04 am

I activated the Safe Pwr-On ON option and my HT GD77 won't turn on. I tried to turn it on with SK1 and then Sk2 pressed and it didn't work. FW is Beta 2025 01 28 gd77. Does anyone know the solution to this problem?

Remove and refit the battery with the radio turned off, and try again

I just checked on my GD77, and there is a bug with this.
If you power on without SK1 down, while power safe is ON, the radio get stuck and you have to pull the battery, and re-power ON with SK1 down.

I seems only the GD77 and friends (MK22) are impacted (there is no problem on STM32 devices).

I'm fixing this.

Fixed.
I don't think I have time to build a new beta release right now, but later today (MK22 only).
