Device OS 4.0.1-rc.1 Release Candidate is available in the Web IDE, Particle CLI and Workbench for (Argon/Boron/B SoM/B5 SoM/Tracker/E SoM X).

Released on October 26th, 2022

Note: This is a Release Candidate and is not intended for production yet. This is the first Release Candidate for the upcoming Device OS release 4.0.1 (LTS) with critical bugfixes and backports from 5.x release line

Gen 3 256KB application binary support

Device OS v3.1.x and further releases bring support for 256KB application binaries to all Gen 3 platforms (at that time: Argon, Boron, B SoM, B5 SoM, Tracker). A few important aspects of this change:

  1. Compatibility with 128KB applications built with < Device OS 3.1 versions is maintained. Devices can still run them even if other parts have been upgraded to Device OS 3.1+.
  2. Upgrade process OTA (including product-based upgrades) is transparent.
  3. When upgrading locally (using DFU or Serial), make sure to update the bootloader first, as it has some logic managing compatibility between 128KB and 256KB application types. See this page on steps how to perform the update.
  4. If using standalone Particle CLI installation, make sure it’s updated to >= 2.12.0 version, which includes support for 256KB applications.

4.0.1-rc.1

BUGFIXES

  • [wiring] ApplicationWatchdog: fixes potential 2x timeout required to fire #2536
  • [gen3]Fix BLE control request channel sending malformed packets #2538
  • Fix issue with platform_ncp_get_info(0) for quectel platforms #2532
  • Secures DCT initialization from getting interrupted between creating DCT file and filling it with 0xff to default state #2530

INTERNAL

  • Use new prtcl compile/clean commands for internal CI builds #2543
  • Increase timeouts for internal CI builds on windows #2545
  • HAL wiring api calls to access exflash read/write functions for OTP flash page #2540
  • [hal] wifi: add generic ‘world’ country code as not every country code is exposed through API #2539

Device OS 5.4.1 Release is available in the Web IDE, Particle CLI and Workbench for (Argon/Boron/B SoM/B5 SoM/Tracker/Tracker M/E SoM X/P2).

Released on July 20, 2023

Note: This is a Release and may be used for production.

This is a release on non-LTS feature development branch (5.x). To learn more about our new LTS release line, read our blog post.

Gen 3 256KB application binary support

Device OS v3.1.x and further releases bring support for 256KB application binaries to all Gen 3 platforms (at that time: Argon, Boron, B SoM, B5 SoM, Tracker). A few important aspects of this change:

  1. Compatibility with 128KB applications built with < Device OS 3.1 versions is maintained. Devices can still run them even if other parts have been upgraded to Device OS 3.1+.
  2. Upgrade process OTA (including product-based upgrades) is transparent.
  3. When upgrading locally (using DFU or Serial), make sure to update the bootloader first, as it has some logic managing compatibility between 128KB and 256KB application types. See this page on steps how to perform the update.
  4. If using standalone Particle CLI installation, make sure it's updated to >= 2.12.0 version, which includes support for 256KB applications.

5.4.1

ENHANCEMENTS

  • [rtl872x] dynamically enable Wi-Fi stack on demand #2664

BUGFIXES

  • [rtl872x] linker: stop relying on .dynalib + .psram_text being contiguous and properly and similarly aligned within LMA and VMA, just copy them separately #2665
  • [rtl872x] fix BLE race condition #2664

Hey all!

We just updated release/v5.x branch of the device-os repo to be current with develop for v5.6.0.

Because we had to force push these changes, you'll likely have merge conflicts if you git pull the latest changes for those branches. Because of this you will need to hard reset your local copy to match the remote.

:warning: Before doing this, make sure you save any changes you have been making in your local copy of release/v5.x (hopefully you are not doing that though and using a feature/branch based on these ;-))

Hard Reset release/v5.x

git checkout release/v5.x && git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/release/v5.x
git submodule update --init --recursive

You should now be sync'd up again with the most recent release/v5.x
