Device OS 1.1.0-rc.1 Release Candidate is out on the Web IDE for (Core/Photon/P1/Electron/Argon/Boron/Xenon/Argon-SoM/Boron-SoM/Xenon-SoM)
released on April 11th, 2019
This 1.1.0-rc.1 Release Candidate will be defaulted to 1.1.0 on April 25th, 2019 unless there are regressions found that require further patches. Testing on your applications is encouraged and appreciated, thank you!
Update: 1.1.0-rc.1 has an issue that affects Gen 3 which will be updated in 1.1.0-rc.2. Please track here.
Note: This is a Release Candidate (RC) and is not intended for production yet. We've tested this RC to the best of our ability and we want to know what you think now! Please understand that some care and attention is necessary when testing this RC, and be sure to upgrade to the final release when it's available. This RC will not be available by default. To use you must select the version dropdown from the devices drawer. Downgrading back to the current release info is at the bottom of this post.
Note: OTA or YModem transfer on Electron (sequence required)
- First Update to 0.5.5 (if the current version is less than that)
- Then update to 0.6.4 (if the current version is less than that)
- Then update to 0.7.0 (if the current version is less than that)
- Then update to 1.1.0-rc.1
Note: DFU over USB on Electron/Photon/P1 (sequence not required)
- You may update to 1.1.0-rc.1 directly first, flash the system firmware (attached above) in order 1,2(,3) to the device using
particle flash --usb <system-part.bin>
. See the next note about the bootloader if you are offline!Note: P1/Photon Bootloader
The Cloud will automatically update the bootloader on P1/Photon devices if your device is online. If your device does not connect to the cloud and it is offline, you should flash the bootloader to the device usingparticle flash --serial <bootloader.bin>
. This should be done after upgrading system firmware. The Electron bootloader is applied automatically from it's own system parts.Note: Downgrading [Electron/Photon/P1] OTA or YModem transfer:
If you need to downgrade, you must downgrade to 0.7.0 and then 0.6.3(Photon/P1), 0.6.4(Electron) to ensure that the bootloader downgrades automatically. When downgrading to older versions, downgrade to 0.7.0 first, then 0.6.3(Photon/P1), 0.6.4(Electron), then to an older version such as 0.5.5.
