Thank you for your detailed feature request! However, it seems we're missing some important information that could help in assessing the feasibility of your suggestion.

Could you please provide:

• Version information (e.g., the version of the software or environment this feature applies to)?
• Any specific reproduction steps or scenarios where this feature would be beneficial?
• Expected behavior if this feature were implemented and actual behavior without it?

This information would be invaluable in understanding your request better. Thank you!

Bad bot. #3910 didn't work.

IME upgrading the firmware shouldn't nuke the channel config.. unless doing a wipe first (which hasn't been implemented as part of the fw upgrade module yet)

[DaneEvans]

But if it works fully we can recommend erase and update for larger jumps, which solves a lot of odd behaviour in firmware.

@jamesarich upgrading from an old version to a new one will nuke config
