Hello everyone,
I have an issue with configuring my SparkFun RTK Postcard board.
I was configuring the board via the terminal, created a profile, and now I cannot return to the settings and configuration menu. Meanwhile, the receiver continues to send NMEA messages through the second port.
When the board starts, the following lines appear in Terminal A:
rst:0x1 (POWERON_RESET),boot:0x13 (SPI_FAST_FLASH_BOOT)
configsip: 271414342, SPIWP:0xee
clk_drv:0x00,q_drv:0x00,d_drv:0x00,cs0_drv:0x00,hd_drv:0x00,wp_drv:0x00

My question is: how can I reset the board to factory settings?
The board I am working with is an RTK Postcard, which does not have an SD card slot. I should have clarified that earlier. Please advise on how to proceed with the factory reset in this case.
SparkFun RTK Postcard Here it says ’ It’s important to note that the RTK Postcard is designed to have full functionality when combined with the Portability Shield! Simply connecting these products provides a 1.3” OLED display and a five-way button to navigate the configuration settings and display PNT data; a microSD card slot for data logging’. So, for adding a microSD card to Sparkfun RTK postcard, you need a portability shield. I do not know if a factory reset is possible without SD card in any other way.
Unfortunately, I don’t have the Shield with the screen. Also, I live on the other side of the world, in Kazakhstan. I will wait for further suggestions or alternative solutions from support.
Thank you for assisting me!
Welcome @Nikita_Vinogradov ,
You could try the RTK Uploader tool and flash the .bin file.
Firmware_Uploader App
Note: for the PostCard, you must select the Com Port with “Serial A” in the description.
The compiled .bin files are here
I believe RTK_Everywhere_Firmware_v2_0.bin is the version that shipped on the PostCard.
Or you can test the latest Release Candidate, currently RC-Jan_20_2025.bin
Click the .Bin file you want, then in the Top Right corner of the next page you should see :
Thank you so much for your help and support! I followed your instructions, flashed the board, and everything works perfectly now. I really appreciate your assistance!
