[WIP] fix aero_upload

• fixes Upload Error: px_uploader.py: No such file or directory #11074

@xrb936 could you give this a try?

[xrb936]

@dagar Still the same error...

[dagar]

Can you post the full output? It should be a slightly different error. I'm away from home and unable to test this directly right now. The plan is to have an intel aero on a hardware test rack in the near future.

I copied the py file to the scripts folder, now it can upload to drone successfully. However I have a new error now:

Oh it looks like the wrong file. It should be the .px4 file, not the .elf.

[xrb936]

@dagar Thanks. So how can I get the px4 file? I have one in the folder but it is only 800KB.

@julianoes FYI only, Intel are no longer supporting aero. We put a note to this effect in master.
