Incorrect platform id will show up when flash the core

[ericyuanyong]

There is a incorrect platform id error if download the firmware from WEB IDE and flash it by
particle flash --usb frimware.bin to core even the core had chosen in IDE. And the hint says need to use --force to override it. So it can be temporarily solved by particle flash --usb firmware.bin --force.

@ericyuanyong Do you know what version of Core firmware you were targeting?

Just to say I have this issue with one of my Sparks too
I did
particle compile core gatekeeper --saveTo gatekeeper.bin
on 24 May when the target was 0.5.0 according to build.particle.io

david@ash:/mer/spark/devel/core-firmware/user/applications$ particle flash --usb gatekeeper.bin 
running dfu-util -l
Found DFU device 1d50:607f
