Latest Sqnsupdate UART upgrade not working 1.20.2.r4

[Colateral]

Hello upgrade via (PC) UART is not working on Linux.

As DOCS said, I downloaded last sqmsupgrade from https://github.com/pycom/pycom-libraries/tree/master/lib/sqnsupgrade

I upgraded the board with pycom tool to 1.20.2.r4

After fresh/power plug, I got the following...

I closed the Atom them I continued in python3 terminal

Seems that is a Serial issue (read/write) from modem to UART1 (/tty/ACM1)
That AT 'OK' seems that is received tooo fast and not forwarded to UART1 (/tty/ACM1)

Any idea how to fix this?
Please note that is working update with SD card... but I need UART upgrade because we have our own G01 boards without SDCard

From what I could find in this time, it seems to be related to the CEREG setting of the LTE modem, which was changed in r2. If we use (temporarily)

from network import LTE
lte = LTE()
lte.send_at_cmd('AT+CEREG=2')

I can get the sqnsupgrade to work over UART.

Let me know if that works for you!

Im able to reproduce the issue. Haven't done a lot of updating with LTE over the last few weeks so didnt come across it yet. I'll try to track it down, but it appears to be broken on r2 and r3 as well. r1 works fine for me, so if it is possible for you to use that in the meantime? Sorry for the inconvenience
