WLAN Pi Go features built-in eMMC storage. In principle the software image flashing process is similar to SD card but there is no SD card.

  1. Disconnect the USB-C cable from the WLAN Pi Go.

  2. Place the Go on a desk with its back side facing up. Note the little hole providing access to the Reset button.

  3. Use a paper clip to press and hold the Reset button. USB-C cable is still disconnected.

  4. While still holding the Reset button pressed down, connect the USB-C cable to the WLAN Pi Go and your laptop.

  5. Wait for 5 seconds and then release the Reset button.

  6. Accept the security prompt and allow WLAN Pi Go storage to connect to your laptop.

  1. Press the Flash button and wait for about 10 minutes. Please make sure your laptop doesn't lock its screen. If it does, the flashing process might stop and you might need to restart it.

Download app to your laptop.

Download the latest WLAN Pi Go software image from to your laptop.

Start Balena Etcher app. Select the software image. Select the Compute Module device which represents the WLAN Pi Go built-in storage.

Once the image has been successfully flashed, disconnect the WLAN Pi Go cable from your laptop. It is now ready for use. Connect it to your phone, iPad or laptop and download the WLAN Pi Go mobile app.
