Current Behavior

Hello, the same on Frsky QX7 with EdgeTx 2.11.3: no way to flash a receiver. The same error like above only in black and white. It works well on version 2.10.6 and with a X9D plus 2019 SE on version 2.11.3

The LUA- Script for activating Mike Blandfords UNI- Firmware on Frsky ACCST- receivers doesn't work anymore either. It generates nothing (no number sequences) on the QX7 with 2.11.3 and only one number sequence of the necessary three on the X9D plus 2019 SE (version 2.11.3). This worked well on OpenTx.

Kind regards, Uwe

Potentially related to https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx/pull/6637, did anyone try after this has been cherry-picked to 2.11 (https://github.com/EdgeTX/edgetx/commit/b5370842c9c604006a5004e8abbc9eb22d8e7342)?

@FS4000 the issue you're describing is totally different, check #6618 instead.

The issue here is most probably that fixed by #6637, as it fits the exact case:

  • FrSky X12S is one of the only radios to use RX DMA on S.PORT
  • when flashing an receiver, IDLE IRQ is not used.
