Problem
Unable to install a "non-wsm" image. It ends in installation process in loop rebooting continuosly.
Solution
Purge the existing installation completely with the previous .wsm.bin and re-install the non-wsm >image.
Before installing an image of a different CPU model, purge the existing image. This also fails to remove the CDB and also fails to install the correct port numbering required for your CPU model.
Run these shell commands from your device:
sudo service versa-flexvnf stop
sudo dpkg --purge versa-flexvnf
sudo rm -rf /opt/versa
sudo rm -rf /var/versa
sudo ./<non-wsm image>
