The UNO R4 WiFi bridge firmware packaging system includes the version number in the binary filename. Previously, the exact filename was referenced in the instructions for restoring the firmware using espflash. This approach meant that the instructions would need to be updated on every new release of the firmware or else become obsolete. The fact that the essential updates to the instructions have not been made for the last eight months shows that this approach is not sustainable.

The commands are hereby adjusted to use a wildcard glob pattern to match the binary filename, avoiding version-specificity.

@per1234 I recently became aware of this issue, following reports submitted through the feedback widget on the website.

Using a wildcard glob pattern is a great idea! Thanks for contributing.
