Pymesh online software update doesn't work after site update

[Ro0t-set]

(sysname='FiPy', nodename='FiPy', release='1.20.2.r6', version='v1.11-c5a0a97 on 2021-10-28', machine='FiPy with ESP32', lorawan='1.0.2', sigfox='1.0.1', pybytes='1.7.1')

Normally after the Pymesh firmware became 1.20.2.rc11, the Pymesh library is installed, and at reboot the device started automatically the LoRa Mesh network.

Now nothing changes.

Even after the update all the pymesh modules do not work

As you can see above, I experience the same issue of not being able to update online the pymesh firmware to a connected device on PyBytes.
I wonder if ever this feature worked before. Is there any offline possibility to upload the firmware in my IDE?

[Ro0t-set]

Yes, you can use this guide : doc link
Firmware : Download link
In the previous version of the site it worked
However, this will not automatically generate pymesh_config.json

Thank you sir,
Do I have to flash this bin file with the cli firmware updater? If so, to what partition?

[Ro0t-set]

I first of all format and install the firmware using the appropriate tool (pycom firmware update), then I do the ota update as explained in the documentation

I am a bit lost now Tommaso!
With the offline pycom firmware update tool version 1.16.6 (see below, I can only install firmwares with the tar or gz exension. The one you gave me is with a bin extension. How do you format firmware anyways?

I tried once again the online firmware update for the deployment of the pymesh firmware. Still no result after my first attempt four days ago. I would have hoped someone at PyCom is working on it as we have 20 devices lying around here to be provsioned with pymesh....

I try to explain you by points, but the process I found is quite long

• Computer:

  Run this script on your computer (server) this script: server script
  to use it, use the official guide:guide
  Use this as a firmware on server : firmware
  Once the server has been successfully launched on your computer,

• Device:

  1. Install the latest version of the software available through the offline tool
  2. Connect the device to the same wifi network as your computer
  3. Upload this script via atom to the device (client)cliente script
  4. Run the script in step 3
  5. Create the WiFiOTA object example: ota = WiFiOTA (ssid, password, ip, port)
  6. Run: ota.connect (), ota.update ()

This process is very inconvenient, but it works. Unfortunately it doesn't generate the pymesh configuration file, I found a way to do that too, but if you have old files I recommend using those.
