Electron Firmware and Dev

[ScruffR]

With 0.5.3 and later OTA firmware update should be possible via CLI

particle flash <deviceName> system_part1.bin
particle flash <deviceName> system_part2.bin
particle flash <deviceName> system_part3.bin
particle flash <deviceName> yourFirmware.bin

The binaries can be downloaded from GitHub (and always sent out in the Firmware Update Thread )

Also, it seems risky to use the particle Dev to compile as a new version of firmware may come out which it will compile against and causes issues in the field

Not really

Safe Mode ensures that you can still flash OTA even after you tried to flash incompatible firmware before and now want to flash a compatible firmware.
