Device OS 1.3.0-alpha.1 [Alpha Pre-Release] binaries for (Core/Photon/P1/Electron/Argon/Boron/Xenon) are available below

released on May 31th, 2019

✅ This 1.3.0-alpha.1 Alpha Pre-Release is for testing purposes only. API's may change before a Release Candidate is created. ✏️ Testing on your applications is encouraged and appreciated, thank you! 🙇

⚠️ Note: This is a Alpha Pre-Release and is not intended for production yet. Limited to no support is available for this Alpha release and is largely for internal testing. It is not available as a build target and will not be available in Workbench. Testing is not for the faint of heart ❤️ but if you want to be on the cutting edge of releases jump in! Downgrading back to the current release info is at the bottom of this post.

Note: OTA or YModem transfer on Electron (sequence required)

  1. First Update to 0.5.5 (if the current version is less than that)
  2. Then update to 0.6.4 (if the current version is less than that)
  3. Then update to 0.7.0 (if the current version is less than that)
  4. Then update to 1.3.0-alpha.1

Note: DFU over USB on Electron/Photon/P1 (sequence not required)

  • You may update to 1.3.0-alpha.1 directly first, flash the system firmware (attached above) in order 1,2(,3) to the device using particle flash --usb <system-part.bin>. See the next note about the bootloader if you are offline!

Note: P1/Photon Bootloader
The Cloud will automatically update the bootloader on P1/Photon devices if your device is online. If your device does not connect to the cloud and it is offline, you should flash the bootloader to the device using particle flash --serial <bootloader.bin>. This should be done after upgrading system firmware. The Electron bootloader is applied automatically from it's own system parts.

Note: Downgrading [Electron/Photon/P1] OTA or YModem transfer:
If you need to downgrade, you must downgrade to 0.7.0 and then 0.6.3(Photon/P1), 0.6.4(Electron) to ensure that the bootloader downgrades automatically. When downgrading to older versions, downgrade to 0.7.0 first, then 0.6.3(Photon/P1), 0.6.4(Electron), then to an older version such as 0.5.5.

1.3.0-alpha.1

Note: If your Gen 3 device does not have a Cloud connection, it is recommended to update system firmware, and then the bootloader via CLI with particle flash --serial bootloader.bin (bootloaders found in Github release)

This release contains v311 bootloaders.
