Reset and Reboot Procedures

Have you tried turning the device off and on again?
Sometimes all that is needed is a reboot. This can be done for the skaarOS / the full Blue Pill / or per package.



Blue Pill Reboot

On the Settings page, click the Reboot button in the System Information section. This will restart the entire unit.

Reactor > Clear config directory

If a configuration has crashed Reactor, and you can only access the 'Packages' and 'Settings' pages, you may need to erase the content of the cofiguration directory.

Note: This will ERASE ALL CONFIGURATIONS on the device.

On the Packages pages, click 'Reactor'. Then click 'Clear config directory'. Finally click 'Confirm and restart'.

Note: This will ERASE EVERYTHING you have done on the Blue Pill device.
