ssl_handshare_status error while using upip on target REPL

[JamesMaxwell]

I'm connected to NodeMCU's REPL. I've setup the device internet connection and it is connected to my router.
I can't download this package:

Code: Select all

>>> import upip
>>> upip.install("micropython-pcd8544")
Installing to: /lib/
ssl_handshake_status: -256
Error installing 'micropython-pcd8544': [Errno 5] EIO, packages may be partially installed

Any help is appreciated.
