My Edison Cheat sheet.

I accidently ran an 'opkg upgrade' and it destroyed my intel edison. If you still have wifi, or a console, these are the steps needed to restore it:

mkdir /update
mkfs.vfat -F32 -I /dev/mmcblk0p9
mount -t vfat /dev/mmcblk0p9 /update/
cd /update
wget http://downloadmirror.intel.com/25384/eng/edison-iotdk-image-280915.zip
unzip edison-iotdk-image-280915.zip -d .
rm edison-iotdk-image-280915.zip
reboot ota

File system stuck in Readonly on yocto after initial startup generating errors like:

EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p8): Couldn't remount RDWR because of unprocessed orphan inode list. Please umount/remount instead

umount /dev/mmcblk0p8
e2fsck /dev/mmcblk0p8
reboot
