You can do a full "Factory Reset" of your SIM using the TugInstall package which is uploaded into the SIM as if it were SHIPEngine but causes:

• a full factory reset of the SIM's non-volatile memory, including wiping all file systems, configurations, and persistent variables
• a re-install of Paddle
• a re-install of Tug

After TugInstall, you will need to individually download SHIPEngine to the SIM.

In summary, the factory reset process is:

1. Upload TugInstall to your SIM as if it were a new SHIPEngine upgrade
2. Reboot the SIM -- TugInstall will run, wipe the various non-volatile memories, and install SHIPPaddle and SHIPTug
3. The SIM will reboot and reformat any on-SIM file systems
4. Upload SHIPEngine to your SIM
5. Reboot the SIM

All of these operations can be performed from SHIPTide over USB, or alternatively over-the-wire (SPI, UART, USB) from a connected embedded system using the SHIPBridge protocol.
