Q: I updated the system and now my Apollo won't boot
A: DO NOT UPDATE THE OS THROUGH THE SYSTEM UPDATE PROMPTS Even though the Apollo is a full linux desktop, its still an embedded system with multiple system level changes to make it work with our proprietary hardware attached to it. If you do a system level OS update these will be whipped and you will end up with a bricked system, requiring a full SD card reflash using the stock image. Any system/kernel level updates will issue here with updated SD card images.

Hi Everyone,

I recently bought a FutureBit Apollo BTC. Upon setting up, I was prompted to do updates and I didn't think anything of it and proceeded. It seems I immediately bricked my new system
This is my first venture into mining so I'm quite a bit bummed at the moment. Although I'm more tech savvy than the average person, I don't have the knowledge on how to fix this. Could anyone help me understand how to do a full SD card reflash using the stock image in order to get back to working order?

Appreciate anyone's guidance.
