Announcing a new extension to help you editing Digital Twins Definition Language or DTDL documents, including intellisense and validation. The post Advanced authoring for Digital Twins models now in Visual Studio and VS Code appeared first on IoT Developer.

As an IoT developer, when you work with Azure IoT Edge project, one of the issues you might have is that you would like to debug your Edge modules locally before actually deploy them to the production environment. This can be done by Azure IoT EdgeHub Dev Tool (iotedgehubdev), which provides a local development experience The post Standalone Azure IoT EdgeHub Dev Tool (iotedgehubdev) Introduction appeared first on IoT Developer.

Z, a software engineer, developed an application about a smart home assistant using Azure IoT service, and he wonders if the application works fine. He want to send messages indicating time and temperature to IoT Hub from many devices simultaneously each for many iterations, so these messages should be formed in a similar template but The post Easily send random generated D2C messages to IoT Hub with Azure IoT Hub Tools appeared first on IoT Developer.

In the world of IoT, there’re many device provisioning scenarios. For example, solution providers would expect a zero-touch provisioning to a single IoT solution without hardcoding IoT Hub connection information at the factory. The IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service is a helper service for IoT Hub that enables zero-touch, just-in-time provisioning to the right IoT The post Visual Studio Cloud Explorer now supports Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service appeared first on IoT Developer.

With the 16.3 release of Visual Studio 2019, it starts to support debugging C# in Linux docker containers. This new feature can help developers easily debug remote Azure IoT Edge C# Linux module container. Let’s see how it works. Prerequisites Setup Your Linux machine Install and config Azure IoT Edge runtime on your remote Linux The post Debug Azure IoT Edge C# Remote Linux Module Container with Visual Studio 2019 Version 16.3 appeared first on IoT Developer.

If you are a container expert, you may want to port your existing compose application to Azure IoT Edge. We are glad to introduce iotedge-compose to help convert your docker-compose project to Azure IoT Edge. Let us see how it works. Prerequisites Make sure Docker Desktop is running on your system before using this tool. The post Convert your docker-compose Project to Azure IoT Edge Solution appeared first on IoT Developer.

With the shift of modern software development, developers need to do more than ever. Having a CI/CD pipeline could help developers deliver value faster and more transparently. For Azure IoT Edge, we already have a built-in Azure IoT Edge task in Azure Pipelines to help you easily adopt DevOps with your Azure IoT Edge applications. The post Azure IoT DevOps Projects now General Available to help you easily initialize a CI/CD ready IoT Edge project appeared first on IoT Developer.

Develop and debug ARM64 IoT Edge modules in Visual Studio Code With the release of IoT Edge 1.0.8, developers can preview the IoT Edge support on ARM64 IoT Edge devices. In the meanwhile, I’m glad to share the steps of developing and debugging ARM64 IoT Edge custom modules in VS Code. Prerequisites This post assumes The post Develop and debug ARM64 IoT Edge modules in Visual Studio Code (preview) appeared first on IoT Developer.

With your Azure IoT application becomes more and more complicated, it is a common scenario that developers leverage IoT Hub message routing to send device-to-cloud messages to different endpoints. Therefore, we want to a convenient way to view and monitor the custom endpoints. With Azure IoT Tools, developers could not only view all the endpoints in VS The post Azure IoT Tools make it easy to monitor custom Event Hub endpoints appeared first on IoT Developer.
