In case the embedded computer fails to boot, it can no longer be pinged (192.168.3.11) and after ca. 1 min the motor modules of the modular control electronics are not blinking their green LEDs.

  1. Switch off the electronics and disconnect the mains cable.
  2. Download the image:
  3. Download win32-diskimager: https://www.heise.de/download/product/win32-disk-imager-92033
  4. Remove the micro SD-card from the embedded computer and insert it into your windows PC.
  5. Delete both partitions on the micro SD-card using windows
    1. Open Disk Management on your Windows computer by right-clicking "This PC" or "My Computer" and select "Manage".
    2. Locate the micro SD-card in the list of drives. (Make absolutely sure that you have located the correct drive! In the worst case you could accidentally delete one of the partitions of your windows PC and thereby lose data.)
    3. Right click on the "boot" partition and select "Delete Volume".
    4. Right click on the un-named partition (probably about 3.45GB) and select "Delete Volume"
  6. Now that you have a clean micro SD card, start win32diskimager (download link above).
  7. Select Image File: sdimage.img that you have downloaded in the second step.
  8. Select the sd-card device on the right. Make absolutely sure that you have selected the correct image. In the worst case you could accidentally overwrite a partition of your windows PC and thereby lose data.
  9. Select "Write" to write the image to the micro SD-card.
  10. Once finished, eject/unmuont the SD card and insert it into the embedded computer.
  11. Turn on the embedded computer and wait at least 2 Minutes.
  12. The use the updater to install the correct software for your robot.
