ERROR: string argument without an encoding about cc2538-bsl HOT 4 OPEN

I had this same issue, and I run through the cc2538-bsl.py code and found that the error it's on the byte array casting. But I found that I was running an old version and using the new version I had no problems. Seems that everything its good now.

if have_magic:
            file_type = bytearray(magic.from_file(path, True))
## I just put the "utf-8" and worked for me
if have_magic:
            file_type = bytearray(magic.from_file(path, True), "utf-8")

Thanks for reporting this, interesting that this hasn't come up earlier.

Feel free to submit a PR adding the encoding.
