Prepare for Factory Reset to Your AWS DeepRacer Vehicle
To prepare for the factory reset, perform the following tasks.
-
Format the USB drive into the following two partitions.
-
FAT32 of 2 GB
-
NTFS of at least 16 GB
-
-
Make the USB drive bootable to start the factory reset on reboot.
-
Burn the required custom Ubuntu ISO image to the FAT32 partition.
-
Copy the required factory restore files to the NTFS partition of the USB drive.
-
Depending on the computer you use, specific tasks may differ from one operating system to another. To illustrate, we present the step-by-step instructions to prepare the USB drive using a computer running Ubuntu (the computer module of the AWS DeepRacer vehicle) and also a computer running Windows.
The instructions for using other Linux or Unix computers are similar to the Ubuntu
instructions discussed below. Just replace the apt-get commands with the
corresponding commands supported by the other Linux or Unix system of your choosing.
Before starting, have the following items ready:
-
One USB flash drive of at least 32 GB capacity.
-
Your AWS DeepRacer vehicle to restore the factory settings to.
-
A computer, when not using your AWS DeepRacer vehicle's compute module, to partition the USB drive and to make it bootable.
