One of the most challenging aspects of IoT development is the process of getting started with a new device. It’s often fraught with error, and if you’re working with multiple boards, can result in hard-to-diagnose issues if one toolchain or driver conflicts with another.
With Particle, it’s easy to program, compile, and flash your devices without having to install a single, local tool. Particle OTA hosts a complete compiler toolchain in our Device Cloud, as well as every supported version of our Device OS. Simply provide your application code, and Particle OTA creates a binary for your device.
In this video, I share how Particle’s Over-the-Air (OTA) compile and flash approach makes it easy to get started building IoT applications without having to mess with cables, or manage a local compiler toolchain. In addition, you’ll learn how that same approach makes it simple to update inaccessible or hard-to-reach devices once you’ve deployed a solution to the field.
