Flash Wifi hanging

[simutisernestas]

In the getting started with AI Deck guide here the command:
cfloader flash aideck_gap8_wifi_img_streamer_with_ap.bin deck-bcAI:gap8-fw -w [CRAZYFLIE_URI]
Hangs infinitely at 2%. Do you have any idea what could cause the issue?

The output:

$ cfloader flash aideck_gap8_wifi_img_streamer_with_ap.bin deck-bcAI:gap8-fw -w $CRAZYURI
Reset to bootloader mode ...
Could not save cache, no writable directory
Could not save cache, no writable directory

Deck bcAI:gap8, reset to bootloader

And after an hour interrupting with keyboard:

No worries, solved it. The issue was that i was passing address with the URI. If anyone is struggling with it replace radio://0/80/2M/E7E7E7E7E7 with radio://0/80/2M : )

Hi! I'm converting this to our discussions as this is not only AIdeck related, it is an fault in our cfloader which is part of the cfclient repo.

This issue is driving me crazy and I cannot keep on going with my project... I have tried the solutions given in the forum but still the same result. It always hangs at 6% when loading

Any one still with the same problem or any solution suggested?

Thanks in advance
