Flashing
OpenOCD
Programs are loaded onto the Particle Argon board using the openocd command line utility program. You must install OpenOCD before you will be able to flash the Particle Argon board with your TinyGo code.
- Plug your Particle Debugger to Argon’s debugging connector
- Build and flash your TinyGo program using
tinygo flash -target=particle-argon
Notes
You can use the USB port to the Particle Argon as a serial port. UART0 refers to this connection.
Bluetooth support is in development but not yet completed.
