i have SSH'd into it and found the memory full. what i need to know is how to clear it when flashing won't work, and i dont know the SSH commands to do so.
Are you trying to flash the unit from the browser?
I suggest try to flash it through the SD card with BraiinsOS if it doesn't work you can run the BraiinsOS through the SD card without flashing the Nand.
Or you can try the firmware posted by thierry4wd from this link below it can disable the signature check and it can maybe solve your case about memory full

If it's successful you can now try to flash it to BraiinsOS if that's the one you wanted to.
