STM32F103C8T6 Blue Pill + clone stlink found chip id is 0x414 and flash memory is 256Kb!

[BAS-BLEU]

i am using bluepill board. which PA9,PA10 is connected to header. when i connect FTDI as RX Tx mode  and also i cheked REST status(reset is high if switch not pressed) but cube programmer say exact like you. my target chip is STM32F103C8T6. using clone stlink i found chip id is 0x414 and flash memory is 256Kb which is not according to datasheet of that MCU.

Hello,

Clone STLINKs and Blue Pills boards are not ST products. Blue Pill boards contain conterfeit chips.

Your chip might be genuine STM , just a bigger one:

• Product ID (PID): 0x414 identifies it as a High-density F1 device (like F101/F103) by the bootloader, though different F1 series (Low, Medium, High) have different PIDs (e.g., 0x410, 0412, 0420). 

Try using it as F103C8 , or try start a project for F103CC and generate code and try debug with a simple test program.

Then you know: chip working fine - or not.

Probably its just this way: today its more expensive to produce six different dies/chips , just because of different flash/ram size, than just one "big" and still can sell it at all sizes , or even better: the "bad" chips, memory not working at full size, still no waste, can sell it at the smaller size type and save money.

And you could be lucky: got a F103 with 256K flash at the price of 64K chip. :)

(or its a fake - just test it.)

die 414 could be:
