Firmware 1.0.0 release is out on the Web IDE for Core/Photon/P1/Electron

released on production servers January 10th, 2019

✏️ Please read all notes below :bowtie:

Note: This is a Release and may be used for production. Any known issues are likely slated for 1.0.1-rc.1 (check Github issues). It is available by default for all devices. To use, select the 1.0.0 version dropdown from the devices drawer.
Downgrading back to a previous release info is at the bottom of this post.

Note: If you have previously last used one of the prerelease versions of 0.8.0-rc.x on a Core/Photon/P1 device, please re-flash it with 1.0.0.

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 1.0.0

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

  • You may update to 1.0.0 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.

BREAKING CHANGES

  • Beginning with 1.0.0 release, Particle.publish() and Particle.subscribe() methods will require event scope to be specified explicitly. This means using PRIVATE or PUBLIC for Particle.publish() and MY_DEVICES or ALL_DEVICES for Particle.subscribe(). Please update your apps to include the event scope to avoid compilation errors in firmware >0.7.0. Deprecation warnings for this change began with 0.7.0-rc.3. #1365
  • [Core/Photon/P1] WiFi.RSSI() must be cast to int8_t when used inline with Serial.print() to produce correct results. E.g. Serial.printlnf("%d", (int8_t) WiFi.RSSI() ); Electron is not affected. #1423

  • [Electron] Particle.keepAlive() API was broken since v0.6.2-rc.2 firmware on Electron where the System would override an early set User ping interval. This required a workaround of updating the keepAlive after the System made a connection to the Cloud. See issue #1482 for workaround. #1536

  • [Electron/Photon/P1] Fixes SOS in 0.8.0-rc.11 and also ensures button and OOM events are handled synchronously. Previously in multi-threaded applications the button handling may have been delayed to run within the application thread. Now it is always handled immediately and should be noted that it is called from an ISR, so it is not advised to dynamically allocate memory in button event handlers. (#1600) (#1650)
