A while back I accidentally flashed my alpha unit to a later-than-supported version (140), and while reflashes back to 130 work, it fails to boot with `1095865 Error code 9e002001 at boot_whitelist_prot.c Line 292`. I suspect partitions may be messed up.

Is there a factory image available I can flash to my unit? I do have manufacturing data backed up.

Thanks!

@ericpietrowicz I did try those and it grabbed Tachyon\_NAPAR60A03\_BP01.003V01\_Ubuntu20.04.003.51.305V02\_factory.zip but I wasn’t sure if that file was valid for Alpha units or not. It failed to flash with the following logs; given the partition erase error I figured the factory image was not correct for the Alpha units. But maybe it’s something else?
