particle: Update a device to use the latest firmware via serial.
$ particle flash --serial ${path-to-firmware-bin}
try on your machine

The command "particle flash --serial" is used to flash firmware onto a Particle device using a serial connection. The "--serial" flag specifies that the firmware should be flashed using the serial interface.

In the command, "${path-to-firmware-bin}" represents the path to the firmware binary file that you want to flash onto the Particle device. You need to replace "${path-to-firmware-bin}" with the actual path to the firmware binary file on your computer.

By executing this command, the Particle flashing utility will attempt to establish a serial connection with the Particle device and then transfer the firmware binary file to the device, updating its firmware.
