Quick Start Guide
Here is the guide to get start with po-util in five minutes or less.
Create a project
When using po-util, your code is organized into project repositories that follow a standardized structure.
$ po DEVICE_TYPE init PROJECT_NAME
This creates a project repository called PROJECT_NAME in the current working directory.
Write some firmware
Write your project firmware in firmware/main.cpp
Here is some example firmware:
#include "Particle.h"
void setup() { // Put setup code here to run once
Particle.publish("Hello World!");
pinMode(D7, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() { // Put code here to loop forever
digitalWrite(D7, HIGH);
delay(500);
digitalWrite(D7, LOW);
delay(500);
}
Build and flash your firmware
Using po-util allows you to compile your firmware locally using the GCC ARM toolchain. You can flash firmware to you device over USB using DFU Utilites, or you can flash it Over-The-Air using particle-cli.
$ po DEVICE_TYPE build # Build your firmware to test if it compiles
$ po DEVICE_TYPE flash # Build and flash your firmware over USB
$ po DEVICE_TYPE ota DEVICE_NAME # Flash firmware Over-The-Air
