Status
This tool was developed for Particle internal purposes.
It is currently functioning well for all supported Particle devices, is actively utilized within Particle and is available to be used by Particle customers. However, it is important to note that there is no long-term commitment to providing ongoing updates for this tool. As such, our Product Lifecycle Policy does not apply to this particular tool.
Installation
Install with npm globally:
npm install --global @particle/device-os-flash-util
Prerequisites:
- OpenOCD. It is recommended to use the version of OpenOCD that is bundled with Workbench.

Getting Started
The examples below cover most of the use case scenarios. For the full list of available options, see the tool's help:
device-os-flash -h
Flashing all detected devices with Device OS 2.3.0 via DFU:
device-os-flash --all-devices 2.3.0
device-os-flash automatically downloads release binaries from GitHub. If you are experiencing rate limiting errors, set your GitHub access token via the GITHUB_TOKEN
environment variable.
Same as above, but do not flash Tinker:
device-os-flash --all-devices --no-user 2.3.0
Flashing a user application to all detected devices:
device-os-flash --all-devices my_app.bin
Flashing specific devices:
device-os-flash -d my_boron -d my_electon 2.3.0
Resolving device names requires a valid Particle API token. If you are signed in via the Particle CLI, device-os-flash will use the token from the CLI's configuration file. Alternatively, the token can be specified via the PARTICLE_TOKEN
environment variable.
Flashing all detected devices via OpenOCD:
device-os-flash --all-devices --openocd 2.3.0
