When erasing black box log blank screen

[JCFPV]

When connected to Inav 2.5 when I delete blackbox log the screen says may take up to 20 seconds then once you click confirm the small box goes blank and doesn't erase the log without letting it stay blank for a few minutes maybe less then clicking cancel and power cycling the flight controller. If I do that it does erase the BB log just has to be power cycled

This is a configurator bug and should be moved to the configurator repository issue tracker. Erasing flash from the CLI or mwp's flashdl tool (which uses MSP) works OK.

The issue is while erasing the flash, MSP messages don't work until it complete. I copied the flashing logic from betaflight, i believe this is the appropriate fix for on the FC side iNavFlight/inav#5964

on the configurator side the progress animation is missing.

Whats the command to erase blackbox from cli?

[stronnag]

Too difficult to enter the cli and type flash<TAB>?

# flash<TAB>
flash_erase	flash_info	flash_read	flash_write	
# flash_erase 
Erasing...
# exit

[stronnag]

otoh, we should document this somewhere obvious. PR to follow ... iNavFlight/inav#5983

Made a fix for the missing animation animation https://github.com/iNavFlight/inav-configurator/pull/1045
