I am having some issues that I have been trying to work through for the past two weeks and have not yet come to any conclusion. I built a BASIC led blink application that works perfectly on the Core. I took the syntax of that application and applied it to the application.cpp file for the Photon. I a…

[image] Spark not accepting new firmware Troubleshooting I’m facing the same problem!!! I’m fairly sure it is code related - even though the programs compile with no errors. I’ve resorted to having to alternate the D7 LED between HIGH and LOW each time i flash a new vers…

In what subdirectory of C:\Particle\firmware\user\applications\ have you put your application.cpp? Can you try C:\Particle\firmware\modules>make clean all PLATFORM=photon APP=<yourSubDir> program-dfu What version GCC are you running? BTW: The issue you linked there was in connection with OTA fl…

@andrewhanisch can you share the output from putting your Photon in Listening Mode and typing s and v? Thanks!

the application.cpp file that i am working on is located here “C:\Particle\firmware\user\src” The GCC release notes are below. Looks to be version 4.9 Release notes for GNU Tools for ARM Embedded Processors 4.9 - Q2 2015 This release includes the following items: Bare metal EABI pre-built b…

The photon does not show up as a serial device either. I followed the steps needed to install the driver via zadig. It is only showing up as a usb device “Photon with WiFi” I cannont get it to show up as a com port

The Zadig step will install DFU drivers. The Serial driver is separate and can be found as part of this tutorial: [Particle Official] Windows 10 Full CLI and DFU Setup

Ah ok. Sorry. Here is what I get. [image]

Thanks for that! So it looks like you have the latest bootloader and system parts. I always advise a clean build, especially if you are changing anything in the system files… but it’s also a good idea so you don’t forget to clean build when you do change system files. C:\Particle\firmware\modules>…

[image] andrewhanisch: the application.cpp file that i am working on is located here "C:\Particle\firmware\user\src" It would be advisable to put your own projects into C:\Particle\firmware\user\applications\<yourProject> and build using C:\Particle\firmware\modules>make clean all PLATFORM…

I’ve been putting my apps in a directory outside of the firmware directory so that they don’t clutter up my github untracked files view: C:\Particle\fw-apps\myproject and build using… C:\Particle\firmware\modules> make clean all PLATFORM=photon APPDIR=C:\Particle\fw-apps\myproject -s program-dfu
