Deleting the Flash Memory
The Kilo's memory does not automatically erase. While the Kilo can hold several thousand GPS
positions it is prudent to clear the flash memory after extended deployments.
To delete the flash records, use the previously discussed interface steps, unlock engineering
mode and send the command: $flasheraseuserdata
The deleting process can take up to 30 seconds, after which the device will reset. Current settings
in the Kilo will not be changed by this process.
Erasing of the flash memory can be done over Iridium if necessary, but note that this also resets
the device.
