Communication CPX is broken

[knmcguire]

It seems that now the firmware communication with CPX is broken, as reported here: https://github.com/orgs/bitcraze/discussions/151. If the latest master is flashed, the messages don't show anymore in the console

ESP32: I (910) SYS: Initialized
ESP32: I (910) DISCOVERY: Hostname is aideck-B0A2D8

This works with the latest release 2022.05

. It might be that #1081 has broken it or on the esp bitcraze/aideck-esp-firmware#16. I can not be sure.

It might be because the ESP software and crazyflie software needs to be updated at the same time?

Ah yes, that was the issue, the ESP needed to be updated too with:

git clone https://github.com/bitcraze/aideck-esp-firmware

docker run --rm -it -v $PWD:/module/ --device /dev/ttyUSB0 --privileged -P bitcraze/builder /bin/bash -c "openocd -f interface/ftdi/olimex-arm-usb-tiny-h.cfg -f board/esp-wroom-32.cfg -c 'adapter_khz 20000' -c 'program_esp build/bootloader/bootloader.bin 0x1000 verify' -c 'program_esp build/aideck_esp.bin 0x10000 verify reset exit'"

cfloader flash build/aideck_esp.bin deck-bcAI:esp-fw -w radio://0/80/2M

It is less than ideal that they are no longer backwards compatible but that is the way it is unfortunately... but perhaps until then we should leave this issue open so that others are aware of it.
