How-to build firmware locally with Particle Workbench

With Particle Workbench, you can perform OTA compile and flash just as with the Web IDE, but Workbench also supports local compile and flash so you can perform builds on your machine, and flash firmware over USB.

In this video, you’ll learn how to use Particle Workbench to perform local firmware compilation, as well as how to flash firmware binaries to a USB-connected device. In addition, you’ll learn how Particle Workbench unobtrusively manages a local compiler toolchain in a way that’s guaranteed not to conflict with other toolchains installed on your local machine.
