Bootloop on "FPGA firmware was flashed by SPI check" screen

[DoomyDoomer]

I recently tried to update my PS1Digitals firmware using "cleanup" then "check" via the web interface. I receive an odd checksum error, so I stopped trying to update the firmware and turned off the PS1. Unfortunately, when I power the console back on, I now see a "Firmware Reflash" screen with the following message "FPGA firmware was flashed by SPI check". The PS1 appears to bootloop to this screen every few seconds. I no longer have access to the web interface. It's worth noting that I every worked great until I tried to update the firmware. The current firmware version installed is v1.0.8.

Christof helped me out while Dan is recovering from COVID. For anyone else facing this issue, you'll need to manually reflash the ESP with a programmer. I used a Sparkfun Beefy 3 but it requires modifications outlined in the documentation here: https://psx.i74.de/man-flash/

Btw, the current firmware has a bug, which causes the SPI check flash loop after using the `cleanup` command. Will be fixed in the next firmware.
