Original CFS G32 may require a power-cycle after flash before APP commands work and startup klipper #1

Description

@alvariyo

Environment

  • Original Creality CFS (G32), connected through CH340/RS485
  • Creality K1C, host firmware 2.3.5.34
  • Upstream cfstool.py from this repository

Observed behavior

After a successful flash transfer, the CFS application did not answer any immediate follow-up commands. APP-mode queries and diagnostics were not
usable immediately after flashing, which made the update appear unsuccessful.

What made it work

After the flash process had fully completed, I physically powered off the CFS, powered it back on, and then started Klipper again. The CFS then worked
normally.

Documentation suggestion

For at least some original G32 CFS units, a physical CFS power-cycle may be required after a completed flash before judging the result from APP-mode
commands or starting Klipper.

Important: this is not a recommendation to power-cycle during a flash. The power-cycle was done only after the transfer/process had completed.
