If the Moku:Go fails to boot, such as after an unsuccessful firmware update, a hard reset is recommended. One sign of this issue is if the status LED remains solid orange for several minutes after powering on.
Steps for a hard reset:
(1) Disconnect the power from the Moku:Go.
(2) Depress and hold the Factory Reset button with a paperclip. The reset button is on the bottom side of the device.
(3) Connect power while holding the Factory Reset button. The status LED will light up orange as the device powers on. (Please don't release the Reset button yet.)
(4) Keep holding the Reset button for a few more seconds until the orange LED starts blinking. The blinking could last over 2 min before the orange light turns off.
(5) After the light is off, disconnect and reconnect power to reboot Moku.
(6) This process might need to be performed more than once to see LED off finally.
