A GitHub Action to flash Particle devices with application firmware

Other Actions for firmware development: Compile | Flash Device | Firmware Upload

Usage

- uses: particle-iot/flash-device-action@v1
  with:
    # Particle API access token with permission to flash devices
    # Required: true
    particle-access-token: ''

    # Device ID of the device to be targeted
    # Required: true
    device-id: ''
    
    # Path to firmware binary
    # Required: true
    firmware-path: ''

    # Time in ms to wait for the device to come back online after flashing
    # Required: false
    timeout-ms: '300000'

Also see official Particle documentation for more details.

Example Pipeline

This is a simple example of a GitHub Actions pipeline that compiles a firmware project and flashes it to a device.

You will need to create a GitHub secret named PARTICLE_ACCESS_TOKEN with a Particle API access token. The access token should be an API User token. It needs the devices:update scope to flash devices.
