New ESP-AT update for the Challenger+ RP2350 WiFi6/BLE5 boards

Post by Pontus »

We have created a beta-release for the latest tag from Espressif (v4.0.0.0) of the esp-at interpreter for our Challenger+ RP2350 WiFi6/BLE5 board.
We also created a new format for running FW updates were you get a single self contained UF2 file for downloading directly to your Challenger which will then perform the update automatically. No more messing with esptool will now be needed.

Please go ahead and try it out and let us know of any issues that you may find.

This beta uses all default settings for the build so it should be fairly compatible with the previous version.

Upgrades for the older Challenger RP2040 WiFI/BLE which uses the ESP32C3 will follow shortly but we want to verify that everything works as expected before branching out to other products.

The attached version has now passed internal testing and has been released for production.
If you have an older version we recommend that you do the upgrade to get better stability, higher speed and more simultaneous sockets.
