So, it looks like you passed in the create_optional_cert_csr flag in key_generate() to enable creation of a certificate and certificate request (CSR). This will generate a key and certificate on device 1.

 

 

You then are downloading the key from device one and it works when you upload it to device 1. But when you try to upload it to device 2 you are getting this error. Could it be that the key is tied to the certificate created in the key_generate() command? I'm not super familiar with the underlying libraries in this code so I'll check on this but that is my initial thought. When I get an update I'll let you know.
