ZMatter board, "factory reset"?

I understand that there are migration procedures and all kinds of pitfalls when switching IoX devices, and I have been poring over them as I have some work ahead of me ....

But, just speaking of the ZMatter hardware, if you move a ZMatter board to a different Polisy/Eisy in the process of migration (or replacing a dead one, or just moving components around), is there some kind of factory reset procedure required on the Matter board itself, or is it just a passive sender/receiver, and all the smarts and settings data is stored in the Eisy/Polisy OS?

For example, let us say I had two Polisys running, one operational and one a test box, both with a ZMatter board. Let us suppose one ZMatter board dies (a bit fanciful, but just a thought experiment), can you just physically swap in the other ZMatter board and keep going, or do you need to do the whole migration procedure?

I understand that the old Zooz USB 700 stick does need to be cleared one way or another.

The data for the Zwave, Zmatter, and Zigbee devices is stored on the Zmatter dongle.  The question is if your remove the dongle how will the device tree respond to those devices that are no lonnger accessible. 

If your zmatter board is mounted in the external enclosure You could unplug it and see what happens. I would assume that the device tree would show those devices with a red exclamation mark.

If you mount an already populated zmatter dongle in a different controller the device tree, and associated programs probably won't show the data on the zmatter dongle. I'm not sure if there's a way to do a sync and update.

Probably best to open a ticket

This was just a hypothetical. But from what you are suggesting, data/structure is stored on the ZMatter card, that was what I was wondering.

So, is there a factory reset for the ZMatter card? No docs with the card, and the wiki doesn't talk about it.

There is a reset command in the AC for the ZWave Zooz 700 USB controller, is there something similar for the ZMatter?
