Updating firmware on P1 through DFU

Firmware
1

These instructions are for the photon: Releases · particle-iot/device-os · GitHub

What needs to be updated to work with the P1:
I know the address 2b04:d006 needs to be changed to 2b04:d008, but what about the memory locations?

dfu-util -d 2b04:d006 -a 0 -s 0x8020000 -D system-part1-0.4.2-photon.bin
dfu-util -d 2b04:d006 -a 0 -s 0x8060000:leave -D system-part2-0.4.2-photon.bin

I tried updating the firmware and got the below output. Does this seem to be correct? My P1 doesnt seem to be connecting working correctly, I can only connect though DFU.

dfu-util -d 2b04:d008 -a 0 -s 0x8020000 -D system-part1-0.4.2-photon.bin
dfu-util -d 2b04:d008 -a 0 -s 0x8060000:leave -D system-part2-0.4.2-photon.bin

When you run make i think you have to change the PLATFORM=photon to P1, have a look here for the options

if you add program-dfu to the end of the make command in the modules folder it should append the right suffix to the binaries and target the right places… you can then see if the ones you are using are correct

Flashing Photon firmware to the P1 will not work - they are different hardware platforms and require different firmware.

The 0.4.3 release was published today which includes binaries for the P1.

with the 043 release I was able to get everything working. Thanks
