Building OS from Source Boron

Are these directions still good for the Boron?

https://github.com/particle-iot/device-os/blob/develop/docs/gettingstarted.md

They do not seem like they will work.

There are a few missing steps, most notably:

  • Use the mesh-develop branch (or a specific tag like release/v0.9.0)
  • You need to:
cd device-os
git submodule update --init

There are additional instructions here:

Or, even easier, you could use Particle Workbench (VSCode) which will set up the local compiler toolchain for your automatically.
