      Some questions about 1.20.1.r1 on the GPY:

      1. What does 'Smart Provisioning started in the background' mean?
      2. Why don't I get an adhoc wifi network on power up anymore?
      3. How important is a full flash erase when upgrading a GPY to 1.20.1.r1? Is import os; os.fs.format('/flash') via Atom a full flash erase?
      4. if not, does anyone have a link to a 'how to' guide for getting some full flash erasure capable software running on a windows PC?

        Full flash erase command under Windows CLI:

        C:\Program Files (x86)\Pycom\Pycom Firmware Update>pycom-fwtool-cli.exe -v -p COM8 erase_all

        of course COM8 is just an example port - replace with yours

        The machine is working as good as it's code.

          No. This will make the files invisible which you see under /flash. It will not touch the firmware with the frozen modules, the NVS, RTC and so on.
