Hi support,

I am using TI based azure IoT SDK on CC3220SF-LAUNCHXL. It seems that TI uses the Azure IoT SDK for C.

I want to implement Device Update feature into the existing SDK. I came to know that azure-iot-middleware-freertos will be helpful.

Can you please explain or provide documents how to integrate azure iot middleware FreeRTOS into existing SDK.

Thanks,

Sai Jnaneswar

    Hello @Juvvisetty, Sai Jnaneswar,

    welcome to this moderated community forum.

    Microsoft provides several SDKs for all kinds of devices, including embedded devices, to connect them to the Azure IoT Hub.

    Once a device connects to this hub over a secure connection (with its own credentials or certificate) both messages can be sent to the cloud and the device logic can be controlled from the cloud (desired state, commands, direct methods).

    It seems you have found the 'freertos' SDK. Just follow the guide inside the repo to get it installed.

    If you do not have an Azure subscription, you can start for free.

    The IoT Hub also supports this Device Updates service.

    Note: It seems even the Free tier IoT Hub supports this feature.

    I'm not sure if your device is supported:

    We're codeveloping Device Update for IoT Hub offerings with our semiconductor partners, including STMicroelectronics, NXP, Renesas, and Microchip.

    Please check this sample list for boards currently documented.

    You can ask a question (in the form of a GitHub issue) to get in contact with the team behind this feature.

    Hello @Juvvisetty, Sai Jnaneswar, In addition to the suggestions provided by Sander in the above response, please go through them and Download the Azure IoT Middleware for FreeRTOS and install the tools such as CMake, GCC Install the ARM GCC toolchain for your platform.
    Yes, you are on the right Github repo, just follow the repo instruction: Azure IoT Middleware for FreeRTOS
