[Ovmsdev] What causes factory reset?

[Michael Balzer]

It's always the missing log… your logs look perfectly normal, no hint of anything going wrong on the first setup.

Option 2 can be excluded if you had the SD inserted all the time, as the button status is only checked when no SD is inserted.

Michael
