Factory Reset

On this page

Factory reset is performed by placing a trigger file on a USB disk. The device reads it on next boot and applies the requested reset level.

How to perform a reset

  1. Power off the device and remove the USB disk.
  2. On the USB disk, create a file named go_default.json in the root directory.
  3. Write the following JSON content into the file:
{
  "network": true,
  "factory": true
}
  1. Insert the USB disk back and power on the device.

Reset options

You can use either key independently or combine them:

KeyValueEffect
networktrueResets all network settings to factory defaults (IP addresses, gateway, DNS). See the First Boot section for the default IP configuration. Data and projects are kept.
factorytrueFull factory reset — wipes all stored data, projects, and configuration. The device will be completely clean after reboot. Network is also reset, even without setting 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 — factory: true alone is sufficient:

{
  "factory": true
}

Warning: A full factory reset ("factory": true) is irreversible. All stored runtime data, projects, and configuration will be permanently deleted.
