Reason for Change
Based on customer feedback, many users of the modules listed in Para 1 did not utilize the Espressif Common AT firmware. For those who did, there were varying firmware version requirements. Consequently, Espressif will no longer pre-flash the Espressif Common AT firmware on these modules before shipment.
Description of Change
The modules listed in Para 1 will be shipped without the Espressif Common AT firmware pre-flashed.
