[Gnuk-users] Upgrading gnuk on a nitrokey start

[Jan Suhr]

Hi Niibe!
Nitrokey Start hardware is based on FST-01. In particular the MCU is
identical. The main differences are:
- No external flash
- Different pinning. See:
https://github.com/Nitrokey/nitrokey-start-firmware/commit/c98d6cbc4a225f10bca8f2d7b86effcbdcf534f4

Do you think the different pinning may be a cause for the update issue?

Regards,
Jan
