I’m not sure if this is a bug in the current code, or something I’m doing wrong, however when working with the latest develop branch of the firmware, on Windows 7, with Arm 4.9 2015q2, I’m getting an error when building for the Photon platform, that I’m not seeing when building for the Core. I’m do…

As far as I know, if you have all the correct tools in your path, a normal command shell should be fine. Btw, I was also working on compiling with a cygwin shell, and I got some errors if parts of the toolchain/compiler have spaces in their path.

Im giving up for a few hours… 2 days solid trying to get it working now :frowning: and i think i broke my photon :frowning: need to push the reset button to get it to switch on after plugging it in… then i get flashing green. all i can do is push and hold the mode till it enters listening mode then…

Thank you so much @Hootie81 ! I was so frustrated because I got everything to build on an old slow XP computer with flakey USB ports but couldn’t get it to work on my newer Win7 64 computer until your post. Now I’m in business and can flash successfully despite some mysterious final error messages t…

thats exactly the point im at! same error… if you leave off the program-dfu part whats the output then?

@Hootie81 , i will clean up my windows VM and reinstall the tools and see what happens :smile:

make PLATFORM=photon all v=1 results in: make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'. make[2]: Leaving directory `c:/particle/firmware-develop/communication-dynalib' c:/WinAVR-20100110/utils/bin/make -C ../../../platform MODULAR_FIRMWARE=y 'GLOB AL_DEFINES=USER_FIRMWARE_IMAGE_SIZE=0x20000 USER_FIRMWARE…

so using the minGW shell ala @Hootie81 works fine for me (despite errors being reported) to flash photon from /modules in either the firmware-develop or firmware-0.4.2 branches. However, I bomb out with a stat.exe error if running from the simple windows7 64 bit command prompt. I can live with that. …

I get the same error at the end… but the photon goes to flashing green? if i unplug and plug it back in it stays off till i push the reset button. when it comes on it goes back to flashing green. if i push and hold the mode button it goes solid green then into listening mode… i can enter the creds a…

@mdma i think i have the problem with creds not being written… do you know what was happening to cause it? i have downloaded the 2 files (photon 0.4.2 release) and flashed them to the photon but still its not saving the creds… i can enter them in with the terminal no probs and it connects and gets t…

Ok, I believe that the Error 74 is nothing to worry about, and is a result of the dfu-util returning Error during download get_status, as is listed in the firmware readme as "You can ignore this message for now. We're not sure what this error is all about. I'm still not sure what the issue with the…
