Particle Device OS Updates: Comments

Firmware
59

Here’s an update on the current state of updating 0.4.4 firmware:

Ways to update to system firmware:

  • build an app in the Web IDE and flash this to the device.
  • use particle flash <mydevice> source.cpp to build and flash from source

Unsupported:

  • particle compile + particle flash myphoton firmware.bin
  • particle flash myphoton firmware.bin
  • flashing from Particle Dev

The system will send 3 binaries - one large one (system-part1), a smaller one (system-part2) and finally your application binary.

At present, it is sometimes necessary to repeat the process to ensure all binaries are properly transferred.
