Factory Reset Edison

Hello,

I have an Edison that I believe needs to be reset.  I upgraded the OS to the latest Yocto and now remote debugging doesn't work.  I just want to reset it back to absolutely nothing and just start fresh.  I tried cmd line deleting the contents of D:/ re-extracting the image, reboot ota, as well as do_ota from the boot menu. 

It boots back up and still has its name, wifi settings and lots of other stuff.  How can I just wipe the whole thing and get it back like it was shipped in the box?

I am using Windows 8.1 and Windows 10.

Thanks,

~David

You can do so following the Flashing Intel® Edison (wired) - Windows* guide.

Ok then you can try running the flashall.bat instead. You can download the dfu-util.exe from a post here

Copy this file in the image folder and run the flashall.bat file to flash the Edison. This should fix the issue.
