Reset with custom image

groov EPIC
1

My apologies if this is the wrong category, I have a whole bunch of groov RIO.
A colleague of mine has created a means of reprovisioning the Groov Rio after the reset button has been pressed. It however requires network setup, and will not load the custom binaries, shell license etc. I believe he used selenium macros. I digress.

It occurred to me that the means of resetting is to load an image (boot image) from a location that the user does not normally access, and that pressing the reset button must then load this image. I dont have a Rio open in front of me, but I think the driver file, and linux kernel are in /dev/mmcblkp1 or 3… something like this.

My question is whether Opto22 provides a simple means to clone an existing deployment to create a custom factory image that can be restored when the factory reset button is pressed.

This would be exceedingly helpful for obvious reasons.

There are a few ways to commission EPIC and RIO.

All his past posts are very high value.

Since you have shell, there are lots of options open to you.
Keep in mind if you are tinkering with the pre-loaded drive image and partitions, you are in the high chance area of not being able to restore the RIO from a factory reset.
But it sounds like you are savvy enough to DD the whole image over to an off RIO store and so should be able to go back should you get things tangled up.
