Newbie: pyboard 1.1 does not work after a firmware update

Hi,
I have two pyboards 1.1.
for one of them I performed a firmware update as described by O'reilly programming with micropython, i.e. I downloaded the latest pybv11-20190911-v.11***.dfu file and I used the command
$sudo dfu-util --alt 0 pybv11*.dfu

The update process worked apparently ok, but the files are all unreadable and I got a mounting error

REPL seems to work, but the connection starts with errors "file "boot.py", lin1, in <module> NameError: name...... is not defined
and the same for "main.py"....

Thank you for any help

Paolo

It looks like the file system was damaged. To recreate it, follow the instructions here for boot mode 3:
