How to stop remove Nitrokey from my system?

I bought a NitroPad to use with Qubes. I am having nothing but trouble with it.

I want to stop using Nitrokey, but can’t find a way to remove it from the system when reinstalling Qubes.

I tried OEM Factory Reset / Re-Ownership, but just end up going around and around in circles.

Hope someone can help please?!

As far as I know it uses Heads firmware

which is a so-called custom “payload” (additional element) of a coreboot firmware.

It is technically possible to flash another firmware (including coreboot with some elements just to boot your system) but it is probably not worth the hassle unless you really know the internals.

What I would do is just to sign the Qubes installation again after the update and forget about that Heads thing completely.

@saper Thank you very much for your reply. Much appreciated. It looks as if I have some searching to do, as I don’t know how to “sign the Qubes installation”, but I am grateful that you have put me on a path to a solution!
