Description
I've been noticing some RPI (muxpi device connector) provisioned successfully only to then proceed to the cleanup stage (skipping test and reserve phase). Since the status code (exit code) was not being sent at all to the server, my guess is that the code is breaking one step before during writing to serial endpoint.
Note: sending all other the results and phases status codes succeeds, provisioning status code was never retrieved/send to server
Since muxpi device connector are writing serial data as binary, in case there is any invalid character attempted to be read as text will raise a
UnicodeDecodeError.This PR adds catching this exception and reading it properly before being sent to server.
