Types of MCU on ELRS receivers
There are two main classes of receivers. STM32 based and ESP8285 based. If you’re not sure, you probably have an ESP8285 based RX. The main difference is that the STM32 RX’s don’t have WiFi.
Now, ALL the ESP8285 based RX’s have a factory installed bootloader onboard which CANNOT be damaged or tampered with. You can completely screw up the upgrade and always get it back using this default bootloader.
