Soā¦I often use Particle Dev due to my code utilizing a library or two I developed and donāt really know how to make public. Iām apparently too dense to āgetā git. When Particle Dev starts compiling against a newer system firmware than is on one of my devices, it ends up in safe mode (magenta). I assumed (yes, bad idea) that I could merely run āparticle updateā when the device is connected via USB and get the newest default system firmware installed, but that doesnāt appear to work. Iām a bit curious as to why Particle Dev will compile to a default version different than whatās considered the default for āparticle updateā. Is it possible to specify a system firmware version when doing āparticle updateā?
Fortunately, due to another post (@ScruffR?) I was able to CLI compile against 0.5.3 and get the code on my device.
Also, Iām wondering if thereās a way to know what system firmware Particle Dev is compiling against before actually doing a compile. Since many of my devices are in the field and some are Electrons, Iām now hesitant to (Particle Dev) compile and flash new application firmware.
The above rant should not be interpreted as a complaint. Iām just trying to figure out the best work flow for my needs.
