How to clear eeprom APM ?

Posted by Roberto Barsottini on March 11, 2014 at 9:43am

Hello friends, you can empty the eeprom of the APM 2.5 for Arduino?. I have a problem in my barometer of APM 2.5 and may have to do this procedure and then reinstall the FW Arducopter in Mission Planner. Grateful for the assistance. Congratulations to all.

    if all fails try uploading arduplane firmware and then load your desired firmware right after.

    The easiest way would be to use the planner to change "sysid_sw_mrev" to any other number, as on reboot it will reset to defaults.

      Other way:

      As seen in the screenshot above, “erase” and “reset” are the commands I used to reset the factory settings of the APM2.5+ in the CLI. These were the steps:

      • I entered “setup” which put me into Setup Mode.
      • I entered “erase” and it came back and said it was “Erasing EEPROM”.
      • After a few seconds it said “done” and stayed in setup mode.
      • I entered “reset” and it prompted me to type in “Y” to do a factory reset.
      • I entered “Y” and it told me to “Reboot APM”.
      • I clicked the disconnect icon on the toolbar and unplugged the USB cable.
      • I exited the Mission Planner software.
      • I reconnected the USB cable.
      • I restarted Mission Planner and clicked the “Connect” icon on the toolbar.


      Hopefully, this gave me a clean factory reset board.
