### Migrating to a other system
When the rnode is flashed, it is signed with a key. If you conect the rnode to another system, this key cannot be validated. It is possible to write a new key to the rnode by erasing the eeprom and writing the local key to it.

$ rnodeconf /dev/ttyACM0 --eeprom-wipe

### And then it did not work...
After I had successfully flashed the board I started reticulum:
$ rnsd -vvv
It found the rnode, but it could not initialize the radio. It gave the following error:

[2025-02-25 10:00:56] [Error] Aborting RNode startup
I checked the SPI communication with an oscilloscope and that all seemed to be working. I could find the problem. Than I remembered the second serial interface on the Waveshare board. This interface was available on the USB port via the onboard USB hub. Maybe the rnode spits out some sort of debug information. So I installed *screen* on my pc and started it:
$ screen /dev/ttyACM1 115200
And sure enough, I saw som useful information scrolling across my screen:
