All data on the device will be deleted. The customer is responsible for data backup and data protection.

The checkboxes are only there for self-control, they have no other function.

We want to ensure that you and we don’t spend time on problems that can be avoided by resetting the device to the factory defaults. Therefore, we have provided this checklist for you.

Preparation

Unplug all USB devices from your RevPi device
Disable the watchdog timer if your device supports it, e.g., https://revolutionpi.com/tutorials/uebersicht-revpi-connect/watchdog-connect/

Backup

Flash the latest image

Find the compatible image here: “Images”
Download the image here: https://revolutionpi.com/tutorials/downloads/#revpiimages
The latest OS version is the Bullseye image
Perform the steps: “How to Safe and Install a new Image”

Use a tool like balena Etcher that writes and reads out the written image to prove that the eMMC is written correct.

Update your system

sudo apt get update sudo apt upgrade

Reboot your system

sudo reboot

Correct connection of extension modules

Check that you have connected your extension modules correctly.
