0.4.2 Prerelease validation

[andreagilardoni]

Summary

The purpose of this issue is to collect all the results of test execution and validate the changes introduced in the code before releasing the next increment in firmware

Changes introduced

Firmware side

• [OTA] Non blocking download #53: add a command to make ota download non blocking and retrieve information related to the progress of ota
• Provide Wifi FW version as uint32_t #54: add a command to retrieve the version of the firmware in a uint32_t variable
• Preferences fixes #62: improvements on preferences api, see PR for more details

Core side

• Non blocking ota download ArduinoCore-renesas#325: Core changes for [OTA] Non blocking download #53
• WifiS3 added method to get uint32 version ArduinoCore-renesas#326: Core changes for Provide Wifi FW version as uint32_t #54
• WiFiS3 At improvements ArduinoCore-renesas#349: improvements in AT parser that enables an higher reliability and fix some issues occurring in the parse of the incoming commands
• Preferences fixes ArduinoCore-renesas#393: Core changes for Preferences fixes #62

Procedure

In order to validate the version increment we are going to:

1. apply all the aforementioned PR to the firmware at commit aef6457
   and we are going to use the core at commit arduino/ArduinoCore-renesas@1169821
   • https://github.com/andreagilardoni/ArduinoCore-renesas/tree/prerelease-0.4.2 tracks the core used
   • https://github.com/andreagilardoni/uno-r4-wifi-usb-bridge/tree/prerelease-0.4.2 tracks the version used for the firmware
2. run all the examples in the following directories:
   • https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-renesas/tree/main/libraries/WiFiS3/examples
   • https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-renesas/tree/main/libraries/SoftwareATSE/examples
   • https://github.com/arduino/ArduinoCore-renesas/tree/main/libraries/Preferences/examples
3. Execute Cloud sketch
4. Execute an Ota with ArduinoIoTCloud
