WARNING: THIS REPO IS GOING TO BE RETIRED ON JULY 1ST, 2018.

BUT DON’T WORRY! Espressif has taken ownership of this port for the Azure IoT. Please start using the code from the following repo:
• https://github.com/espressif/esp32-azure

## Get Started with Microsoft Azure IoT Starter Kit - ESP32-DevKitC ("Core Board")

This sample was tested with Espressif's ESP32-DevKitC ("Core Board"), but many other kits would work as well.

This sample was modified from this one.

Step 1 - Download the ESP32 SDK

Clone the Espressif IoT Development Framework repository with the following command:

git clone https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git --recursive

Step 2 - Set up the ESP32 toolchain

Follow the instructions for setting up the ESP32 toolchain found here.

Step 3 - Set IDF_PATH

Set the IDF_PATH environment variable to point to the location of the esp-idf directory that you cloned in Step 1.

If you're using MSYS on Windows, a good place to set the IDF_PATH variable is in the ~\msys32\home\user\.bashrc file that gets created the first time you run msys2_shell.cmd.

Step 4 - Install the Azure IoT C SDK

Change to the ESP32 SDK's components directory:
cd $IDF_PATH/components

Clone this repository into the components directory as azure-iot:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-pal-esp32.git azure-iot

Step 5 - Assemble the sample project

Your $IDF_PATH/components/azure-iot/sample directory contains a sample project skeleton. You may compile it from that location, or you may copy it to a new location, whichever you prefer. To flesh out the skeleton, copy the sample files from the Azure IoT SDK into main directory of the copy of the sample that you're using:

sloc=$IDF_PATH/components/azure-iot/sdk/iothub_client/samples/iothub_client_sample_mqtt
cp $sloc/iothub_client_sample_mqtt.h <your_sample_location>/main
cp $sloc/iothub_client_sample_mqtt.c <your_sample_location>/main

Step 6 - Set your device's connection string

Create an IoT Hub and an associated device identity as shown here. Then open the main/iothub_client_sample_mqtt.c file in the main directory of your project and find the line near the top that reads

static const char* connectionString = "";

and set the value of the connectionString variable to the be the connection string of the device identity that you created.

Step 7- Configure the make process

Using the toolchain you installed in Step 2 (MSYS, for example), navigate to the location of the sample you assembled in Step 4 and run the following command:

make menuconfig

This command will bring up a configuration dialog.

1. Under "Serial flasher config --->Default serial port" set the serial port ID to that of your ESP32 device. (On Windows you can find the serial port ID under Computer Management.)

2. Under "Example Configuration --->" enter your WiFi router SSID and password.

3. Save the configuration and exit the dialog.

Step 8 - Run the make process

Build the sample with the simple command:

make

This will produce a iothub_client_sample_mqtt.bin file, a partitions_singleapp.bin file, a bootloader/bootloader.bin file, plus associated maps.

Step 9 - Flash the ESP32 device

Make sure the ESP32 device is plugged in and run the command:

make flash

This will flash the project onto the ESP32 device. Alternate methods of flashing the device can be found here

Step 10 - Monitor the device output

The sample program sends status output to the device's serial port at a default 115200 baud. You monitor this output by connecting to the serial port with any terminal program such as Putty.
