Is there any way to reset the user partition on Legato V19.11.5 without downgrading to R12 ? I used fwupdate with reset.cwe from (both) the .leaf/wp76-toolchain\_SWI9X07Y\_02.37.07.00-linux64/sysroots/x86\_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/lib/swiflash/reset/WP76XX and .leaf/wp76-toolchain\_SWI9X07Y\_02.37.07.00-linux64/sysroots/x86\_64-pokysdk-linux/usr/lib/swiflash/reset/wp76XX folders; although fwupdate succeeded with no errors and lead to a reboot, the partition did not get erased.

Maybe these reset.cwe files do not work ?

Best regards, Heino
