emergency situations . A reset can be performed if there are issues with the
update method or to clear Tracker issues but should not be used as a
regular process for updates.

The reset option is useful if any lock ups or freezing occurs on Tracker. It is not necessary in these situations
to download a new OS. It is advised to keep a series ofcial, known good, rmware releases in the /rmware
folder. For example 1.5.0, 1.6.0, 1.4.0. That way steps 4-5 can be performed in case of issues and a random
update will be performed from a known state. A manual update in the ‘cong’ menu to select the latest
version can then follow.
