Trouble flashing firmware to Boron over USB

Connectivity BLE // NFC
2

This will occur under Windows. There will be an update to the Particle CLI to fix this soon, however for now:

  • Download and run the Zadig utility: http://zadig.akeo.ie/
  • Map Boron DFU Mode (also Argon and Xenon) to libusbk:

dfu

  • Quit Zadig and now DFU should work:
dfu-util -l
