Sends connection status to ndm/notification/cipia/update and updates video_current_state
Implemented, support for H265
Implemented, the option to remove the information about the last ibutton read.
Improved, Core now must fail 5 times before sending to cloud an alert that it failed to set up onewire drivers/modules

Fixed, the reference to add 100 to the nmea year
Fixed, the UI was not returning error when formatting a non existing SD card
Implemented, able to disable buzzer or ADAS buzzer depending on hardware type.
Implemented, considers S4GLite hardware limitations where less inputs and outputs exist. This also applies for entering and exiting PSM.

Implemented, now interface is able to know if it is running on a S4GLite or S4GFull based on microcontroller version and if it discovers an RTC I2C component.
Implemented, partials in video update_list
Implemented, the S4GLite buzzer through GPIO.
Improved, the way in which the gps application publishes the current time
Removed, the "was accepted" message when configuring PSM mode

Added, DriverDistraction and DriverDrowsiness Cipia events.
Added, retry streaming case when “linking failed” error is found caused by the unavailability of audio on the selected camera
Added, the instruction to flush the sms inbox when modem application starts
Added, the instruction to release resources when the video application is recording and an Apex upgrade is started
Added, the stream id to the apex command that starts the streaming, it is a mandatory parameter
Added, upload, view, and download extra menu items in shared accelerometer
