    I was working on the same machine as bernardoleary; we resolved the problem by connecting to a different IoT Hub.
    It seems this was an issue where the camera was unable to reconnect to the IoTHub after a factory reset. We managed to connect to the device within the period of one power-cycle and change the iotedge connection string to point to a new IoTHub.

     

    sudo vi /etc/iotedge/config.yaml

     

    Then, using

     

    adb reboot

     

    we were able to reset the device before re-loading a deployment from Visual Studio Code. Once the deployment was loaded the camera pulled down the required images from our azure container registry and successfully ran all modules.

bernardoleary You can factory reset the device by pressing and holding the power button for 5+ seconds - this will put the device into SoftAP mode where you then connect to the device SSID via Wi-Fi tray.

    Hijkubicka thank you for your response. Unfortunately in this case, while the camera was indeed flashing the three red LEDs (as though it were in softAP mode) the SSID was not showing up by any wifi capable devices nearby. We had to use the USB cable and ADB cli to access it. In addition, it was periodically cycling power.
