Description

connecting to a udp Broadcast on a RPI seems not to be possible. I tried 2 raspis, none worked. on a windows machine, it works as expected.
running on windows: mavproxy --master=tcp:172.19.1.102:5762 --out=udpbcast:172.19.1.255:1111
running on RPI: mavproxy --master=udp:loopbackaddr:1111

can anyone confirm this?

Research direction

Start by reproducing the two MAVProxy commands from the issue on a Raspberry Pi and Windows, then compare UDP broadcast behavior and any connection errors. Trace the `udpbcast` output path and the `udp:loopbackaddr` master path to identify where the platforms diverge. Done means Raspberry Pi can connect to the broadcast endpoint and the existing Windows behavior remains working.
