Factory reset is performed by placing a trigger file on the SD card. The device reads it on next boot and applies the requested reset, then removes the file automatically.
How to perform a reset
- Power off the device and remove the SD card.
- On the SD card, create a file named
go_default.jsonin the root directory. - Write the following JSON content into the file:
{
"network": true,
"factory": true
}
- Insert the SD card back and power on the device.
Reset options
You can use either key independently or combine them:
| Key | Value | Effect |
|---|---|---|
network | true | Resets all network settings to factory defaults (IP addresses, gateway, DNS). The device will boot with its default First Boot network configuration. |
factory | true | Full factory reset โ wipes all stored data, projects, and configuration. The device will be completely clean. Network is also reset (implied by network: true). |
Network reset only
To reset only the network settings (data and projects are kept):
{
"network": true
}
Full factory reset
To wipe everything including network settings โ factory: true alone is sufficient:
{
"factory": true
}
Irreversible action
A full factory reset ("factory": true) is irreversible. All stored runtime data, projects, and configuration will be permanently deleted.
