The plan was to implement a custom radio bootloader the same way we have done it on Crazyflie. But this requires some more work and a usb-to-uwb bridge (to connect a computer to the UWB network).

Ok, I get it.

But I just found this post. It uses the Rpi to flash and debug using openocd via the SWD connector. Using a Rpi Zero plugged to the node, this is pretty cool and cost-effective..

Nice! That looks very cool for development actually. Radio bootloader is good for updating from one stable to another but being able to flash the CPU directly over wifi would greatly ease development. I think I will look at that.
