Firmware 0.7.0 release is out on the Web IDE for Core/Photon/P1/Electron

released on production servers March 26th, 2018

Note: This is a Release and may be used for production. Any known issues are likely slated for 0.8.0-rc.3 (check Github issues). It is available by default for all devices. To use, select the 0.7.0 version dropdown from the devices drawer. Downgrading back to a previous release info is at the bottom of this post.

Note: If you have previously last used one of the prerelease versions of 0.7.0 on a Core/Photon/P1 device, please re-flash it with 0.7.0. You must upgrade (locally preferred) the Electron system firmware to 0.7.0 first before you can OTA new user apps.

Note: OTA or YModem transfer on Electron (sequence required)

  1. First Update to 0.5.3 (if the current version is less than that)
  2. Then update to 0.6.4 (if the current version is less than that)
  3. Then update to 0.7.0.

Note: DFU over USB on Electron/Photon/P1 (sequence not required)

  • You may update to 0.7.0 directly, but make sure you have installed v1.30.0 of the CLI (check with particle --version) then run particle update.

Note: P1/Photon Bootloader
The cloud will automatically update the bootloader on P1/Photon devices. If your device does not connect to the cloud, you should flash the bootloader to the device using particle flash --serial. This should be done after upgrading system firmware.

Note: Downgrading [Electron/Photon/P1] OTA or YModem transfer:
If you need to downgrade, you must downgrade to 0.6.3(Photon/P1), 0.6.4(Electron) to ensure that the bootloader downgrades automatically. When downgrading to older versions, downgrade to 0.6.3(Photon/P1), 0.6.4(Electron) first, then to an older version such as 0.5.3. You will have to manually downgrade the bootloader as well (see release notes in previous 0.7.0-rc.3 release)
