Hey everyone, hopefully someone can help me out. I have my Electron setup and claimed. I’ve gotten it to successfully connect to cell tower and getting breathing magenta, Yay!
My problem is that I can’t flash to the Electron over serial usb. What I have tried so far:
- Download the binary for Electron from the build IDE
- Place Electron in Listening mode while connected to computer
- Run: particle flash --serial firmware.bin
After this I get an error:
Including:
firmware.bin
attempting to flash firmware to your device --serial
Flash device failed
I didn't recognize that device name or ID, try opening https://api.particle.io/v1/devices?access_token=###MYUNIQUETOKEN#####
If I go to that link, It displays this JSON response:
[
{
“id”: “#######”,
“name”: “Xamarin”,
“last_app”: null,
“last_ip_address”: “50.150.98.9”,
“last_heard”: “2015-12-16T19:06:53.752Z”,
“product_id”: 6,

},

“platform_id”: 10,
“cellular”: true,
“status”: “safe-mode”,

}
]
So the Electron is there and identified properly. I verified that the device shows up in the Particle App and I can see when it’s connected or not. I have also updated my particle CLI, reflashed tinker and started the process over again with no different results. I have also tried putting the Electron in DFU instead of listening mode, but same results.
I’m sure I’m missing something simple and small. Hoping someone can just point out the obvious to me.
