IDString - 4 bytes, always="GDFW"

BLFileVersion - 2 bytes, current=300

TargetDriveType - 2 bytes, Argon=4000, Ion=5000

HostFWbytes - 4 bytes, number of bytes for STM32 CPU

GCFWbytes - 4 bytes, number of bytes for GraniteCore CPU or 0xffffffff if not included

Data

Data of GCFW begins. Amount of bytes is GCFWbytes

File checksum

FileCksum - 4 bytes calculated from the current file. Simply sum of all unsigned bytes in file except CKSum itself
