Hi everyone,
I just received my Particle Tachyon and am really excited to start working with it. I followed the official setup guide closely, but I’ve run into an issue during the device flashing step that I haven’t been able to resolve.
Environment Info
- Host OS: Windows 11
- WSL Distro: Ubuntu 24.04 (running under WSL2)
- Particle CLI: Installed latest version via
bash <( curl -sL https://particle.io/install-cli ) - Command Used:
particle tachyon setup
Problem
Everything goes smoothly until step 10 of the setup process. When the script attempts to flash the Tachyon device, I get the following error:
[ERROR] flashing of cache failed
[ERROR] firehose_run failed
Unable to complete device flashing.
What I’ve Tried
- Ensuring the Tachyon is in the correct mode (connected via USB-C, LED indicator active)
- Restarting the Tachyon
- Restarting WSL and reconnecting the USB device
If helpful, I can share verbose logs or run diagnostic commands. Just let me know what would help most. Thanks in advance! Looking forward to diving into development with the Tachyon once I get past this step.
Best,
Milan
