How to update the older Kaico hdmi adapters to GCvideo 3.0e

Post by Rellikami » Tue Sep 01, 2020 6:10 am

through email correspondence that took almost a month of emails telling me to update via the gcvideo updater .dol :evil: (impossible on 2.4d) i was finally given what i needed. in short it is a shrunken v3 clone as they instructed me to use a xilinx usb programmer to update while it was plugged in. while i did not have that i did have a tl866ii plus universal programmer and was able to install gcvideo 3.0e my removing the 25p40vp spi flash chip and after making a backup flashing the bin file in the shuruken v3 folder.

if you do this method you loose the remotes programming but can add a switch to sw1 location on the board to reprogram the remote.
and for anyone else who has had trouble with this, here is .docx file on my onedrive of the xilink update process for anyone who happens to already have one.

thanks for sharing, i'm sure it will be useful for those willing to update their adapters!

thanks to guides like yours, i was able to update an eon ghcd mkii (2.4b custom) and a pluto iix (2.4d) to the latest 3.0e firmware

I’m sorry but that makes no sense there are jumpers for an xlinix programmer I think it’s j1 on the board I have the same one and I love it I also made the very first boards released and they still work as well
