Raspberry Pi Changelog

The Archive Raspberry Pi

As the beta progresses I’ll post what’s new here.

If you already have the agent installed, run the install script again to upgrade. I recommend you accept all the prompts to replace your firmware by Tinker, then reboot to reset all pins to a known good state.

bash <( curl -sL https://particle.io/install-pi )
# Accept all setup prompts to replace your firmware by Tinker
sudo reboot

particle-agent release 0.2.3-1

  • [BUGFIX] Firmware not lost on boot

November 29, 2016

firmware release 0.5.1-pi.8

  • Implement I2C. RPi I2C docs

  • Don’t set peripheral pins (I2C, SPI) as inputs at start

To use this firmware, recompile your code using the Web IDE, CLI or Dev.

particle-agent release 0.2.2-1

  • Update Tinker to not change special pins (I2C, SPI) to INPUT
  • safe mode should copy tinker not move it

November 23, 2016

particle-agent release 0.2.0-1

  • automatically run particle-agent commands as root. particle-agent setup is sufficient, no need for sudo particle-agent setup.
  • safe mode. Puts Tinker back if the firmware crashes 5 times within 30 seconds.
  • particle-agent version

If you already have the agent installed, run the install script again to upgrade. Press Ctrl-C at the Particle Cloud setup prompt if you don’t want to replace your running firmware by Tinker.

Upgraded from 0.1.0-9 to 0.2.0-1 using “bash <( curl -sL https://particle.io/install-pi )”.

This seems to have broken the “particle-agent setup” command:

    pi@particlepi:~ $ particle-agent setup

Please reinstall the agent. I fixed a bug that was causing Tinker to be moved over bad firmware for safe mode.
