Re-Flashing Core v2

Is there a way to re-flash the respeaker core v2? I previously flashed it and have done MUCH messing around with it to the point where pulseaudio is not working right at all. I’d like to just get everything back to first birthday. I tried sticking the microSD in the slot to re-flash things again, but only the green power light comes on, none of the blue user lights blinks at all. Is there something I need to do to prime it for re-flashing? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Hi karl691,



Yes, you can re-flash the respeaker core v2, here is the instruction.



Download the Image File from here:<LINK_TEXT text=" https://v2.fangcloud.com/share/7395fd1 … e5?lang=en"> https://v2.fangcloud.com/share/7395fd138a1cab496fd4792fe5?lang=en</LINK_TEXT>





Step 1. Download our latest image zip file respeaker-debian-9-iot-flasher--4gb.img.xz or respeaker-debian-9-lxqt-flasher--4gb.img.xz at Fangcloud. The lxqt version comes with Debian desktop and the iot version does not. And the flasher version is for flashing eMMC, and the sd version is for booting from SD card.



Step 2. Burn the *.img.xz file directly to SD card with Etcher, or unzip the *.img.xz file to a *.img file, then burn it to SD card with other image writing tools.



Step 3. After burning SD card, insert the SD card in the ReSpeaker Core v2.0. Power the board using the PWR_IN micro usb port and do not remove the SD card while it’s flashing.





During the flashing process, you’ll see the USER1 and USER2 LEDs blink alternately. It will take about 10 minutes to complete. When the LEDs turn off, you can power off the board, pull out the SD card and power again. If the LEDs light up, that means the image was flashed to the eMMC correctly.
