Has anyone had problems with this kind of blue pill..?

Question

linux

I ordered a scarf along with a st-link v2 programmer on Alikha ( https://aliexpress.ru/item/33012789309.html?spm=a2... ), received it. I downloaded the sources of the slink and installed it according to this recipe here for the programmer to work. Next is the problem:

st-info --probe
Found 1 stlink programmers
serial: 1a30050029135147324d4e00
hla-serial: "\x1a\x30\x05\x00\x29\x13\x51\x47\x32\x4d\x4e\x00"
flash: 0 (pagesize: 1024 )
sram: 20480
chipid: 0x0410
descr: F1xx Medium-density

From what I see, I conclude that there is no flash-memory!
I'm trying to download the firmware on the computer:

./st-flash read /home/danil/stm32/default.bin 0x08000000 0x10000

File size 0!

st-flash 1.6.1-98-gd819a4a
2020-10-06T20:21:03 INFO common.c: F1xx Medium-density: 20 KiB SRAM, 0 KiB flash in at least 1 KiB pages.
2020-10-06T20:21:03 INFO common.c: read from address 0x08000000 size 65536

On many sites they write that the blue tablet has a user light flashing green, mine is red! In general, respond who had such problems! By the way, the chip has the following marking: ch32f103c8t6.

Well, this is not a blue pill
ch32f103, this is not an STM processor, but a Chinese copy of WCH.
It is similar in principle, but as you have already noticed, it is not the same.
Give a photo chtoli or a link to this miracle.
It would be nice, of course, to throw it away and not remember anymore, but if you want dirty Chinese perversions, then you can try to find a datasheet for this miracle.
