From there, you'll see Device Manager on the left with the Administrator shield beside it. Go to the control panel, and click System. To find out if the computer sees it, you'll need to go into your device manager. It is important to have the computer see the Edison after all, you can't talk to somebody if the phone line is snapped. That was very surprising to me, and I am very grateful for it. You are following my advice at your own risk.īefore going any farther, I want to thank Intel and Instructables for being awesome by selecting me along with 249 others to receive a Dev Kit. *Note* I am not liable for any damage (software or hardware) to your Intel Edison/Galileo. This instructable is for anybody who wants a fresh Edison install, whether the reason is a lost password, corrupt files, or just a clean computer. I guess there really is no 'factory' state, other than a fresh boot image. I could not find a single resource that could explain how to 'factory' reset the Edison. I believe a file was corrupted in the process of one of my uploads (oops).Īfter exhausting all of my resources, I decided I needed to reset the Edison. I ran into a snag part way through, where I was not able to do anything with the Edison, from uploading Arduino sketches to SSH through the COM or Network. I recently received an Intel Edison and IoT Dev Kit, and was enjoying the tinkering. I do, however, get annoyed whenever they decide to not cooperate with me. Aren't electronics great? I certainly think so.
