Running Arduino Portenta H7. Cannot get SimpleWebServer example to work. Keep getting the following in the serial monitor "Access Point Web Server  
Creating access point named: PortentaAccessPoint  
File not found  
Please run the "PortentaWiFiFirmwareUpdater" sketch once to install the WiFi firmware."  
I have tried running PortentaWiFiFirmwareUpdater and get the following without any further prompts... "Searching for WiFi firmware file ⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮⸮.⸮⸮⸮ ..." It appears it can't find it. Where should it be and how do I correct it so I can get WiFi working. I have searched the internet and cannot find similar issues or advice. Any help greatly appreciated.

Don't know cause. Suspect corrupt file system. Fixed by forcing reformat of wifi blocks by modifying PortentaWifiUpdater code. Ran but got no certificate msg, but no red lights. Still unable to run SimpleWifiServer (unable to initialize). Fixed fs but failed certificate? Ran unmodified PortentaWifiUpdater and got certificate confimation. Fixed certificate? SimpleWifiServer then worked.

I have exactly same issue right after update the firmware while trying to use openMV IDE. Arduino should update or find the way to fix this issue. did you find how to solve?
