Hi Particles,
I’ve recently tried to flash firmware to my new Electron (really sped through orientation so might have missed something) and believe I’ve set it up correctly but when I attach to USB (Windows 7) and try to use the CLI – (which I’ve used plenty of times with Photons) I get the following …
C:\xxxx\xxxx\ELECTRON>particle flash --serial firmware.bin
Including: firmware.bin
attempting to flash firmware to your device --serial
Token error: Permission Denied
Can anyone advise what I’m doing wrong – or point me at the appropriate information on how to resolve?
Thanks in advance,
Chris
Give ‘particle login’ a shot?
Not sure what you mean. I definitely logged in before trying to flash. I have used the CLI before.
Maybe logout, revoke the current token and let particle login create a new one.
Your local CLI token might have gone stale.
Hi @ScruffR and @Moors7 ,It seems the problem is with the CLI, or rather my installation of it. I use a desktop PC for development but recently installed the CLI on a laptop - and using that platform the Electron worked and flashed code as advertised. I have since uninstalled and reinstalled the CLI on my desktop using the Windows installer and it seems we have a win. Thanks again to you both for responding.
