Are there steps available for using the phone app for updating a watch with a custom compiled firmware?

I’m following the steps at πŸš€ Getting Started β€” PebbleOS 0.1.0 documentation and ./waf build completes with no error. Without custom hardware, what is the process for getting what I just compiled onto my watch?

Run ./waf bundle (or I think ./waf build butdle works too) to bundle everything into a .pbz file. I think maaaybe you can use the Pebble CLI to install over the dev connection, but for sure you can copy the pbz file to your phone and open it with the Core app.

Thank you. I found the correct docs by following a link from the github repo. It confirms what you say and provides the instuctions for flashing once the image is on the phone. what I linked to above is maybe just an old/outdated version of the current docs?

I think those are the docs that Core Devices made, they’re new. It’s just that documentation is kind of spread out between like 4 different sites, all in varying degrees of up-to-date-ness :sweat_smile:

Correct! Our latest documentation can be found here (note the pebbleos-core subdomain): Prerequisites β€” PebbleOS 0.1.0 documentation

is it possible to remove the older outdated docs so that there is a single source of truth? Consistency reduces confusion.
