As in #59, it might happen that some boards crash sometimes.
Even if we fix all bugs, it might be useful to make boards blink their LED (or whatever other visual proof) so that we could visually find out which boards crashed and eventually restart them.
I haven't checked whether this is actually possible or not, it's just an idea.

From what I read online it seems like they will restart them self in case of crashes. I may be wrong.

When launching the board in monitor mode (i.e., connected to a PC, its output gets redirected to stdout), gdb gets launched upon crashing. To restart the board one needs to quit it and select the corresponding option once esp-idf gets in the way.
When launching the board without monitor mode, I cannot tell exactly what happens... but one thing is for sure: core doesn't receive any packets from crashed boards, at all...
