Azure IoT Device Workbench for Visual Studio Code
Azure IoT Device Workbench extension is now part of Azure IoT Tools extension pack. We highly recommend installing Azure IoT Tools extension pack, which makes it easy to discover and interact with Azure IoT Hub that power your IoT Edge and device applications. This extension pack can help you:
- Develop and connect your Azure IoT Applications to Azure. With this extension, you can interact with an Azure IoT Hub, manage connected devices, and enable distributed tracing for your Azure IoT applications.
- Develop and debug Certifies Azure IoT Devices (including MXChip IoT DevKit, ESP32, Raspberry Pi) to Azure. This extension pack makes it easy to code, build, deploy and debug your IoT applications with popular IoT development boards.
- Develop and deploy artificial intelligence and your custom logic to Azure IoT Edge. This extension pack makes it easy to code, build, deploy, and debug your IoT Edge applications.
Overview
The Azure IoT Device Workbench is a Visual Studio Code extension that provides an integrated environment to code, build, deploy, and debug your IoT device project with multiple Azure services supported.
If you would like to develop device using IoT Plug and Play preview refresh and the Digital Twin Definition Language (DTDL), you could refer to the DTDL extension to get intellisense completion and syntax validation of DTDL.
Get Started
Develop on generic device
Currently the following device platforms and languages are supported in Azure IoT Device Workbench.
Embedded Linux public preview
For Embedded Linux devices, the Device Workbench uses container to simplify the cross-compiling tool chain setup and configuration, which means all cross-compiling work happens in the container.
Languages supported: C/C++
Devices supported: Cortex-A series devices (e.g. Raspberry Pi, NXP i.MX6) that are running embedded Linux such as Debian, Ubuntu or Yocto Linux.
Follow the setup guide to setup the prerequisite including Docker runtime.
Here are a set of tutorials to help you get started:
- Get Started connect Raspberry Pi to Azure IoT Hub
- Configure an existing CMake project using containerized toolchain
- Develop IoT Plug and Play device using containerized toolchain
- Customize your device toolchain
Arduino
Currently, Device Workbench supports MXChip IoT DevKit and ESP32 DevKits using Arduino. For generic Arduino device, we recommend you use Arduino extension in VS Code.
Languages supported: Arduino C/C++
Devices supported: MXChip IoT DevKit, ESP32.
The Device Workbench relies on Arduino IDE as a dependency to develop on the above devices. If you have installed Device Workbench prior to Arduino IDE, you may need to restart VS Code to make it find the Arduino IDE installation path correctly.
MXChip IoT DevKit
Follow the setup guide to setup the environment including the Arduino extension.
Here are a set of tutorials to help you get started:
- Get Started connect DevKit to Azure IoT Hub
- Use Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service auto-provisioning device with IoT Hub
- Connect to the Remote Monitoring solution accelerator
- Translate voice message with Azure Cognitive Services
- Send messages to an MQTT server using Eclipse Paho APIs
- DevKit State
- DevKit OTA
ESP32
Follow the setup guide to setup ESP32 device including the Arduino extension.
Here are a set of tutorials to help you get started:
Please take the survey to let us know extra device platforms and languages you want to see support in Device Workbench.
Develop device using IoT Plug and Play
This section is deprecated for Azure IoT Device Workbench 0.16.0 or above.
If you are using Azure IoT Device Workbench extention before 0.16.0, this extension provides an integrated environment to author IoT Plug and Play public preview device capability models (DCM) and interfaces, publish to model repositories, and generate skeleton C code to implement the device application.
Learn how to get started with IoT Plug and Play public preview and use the Device Workbench extension to build an IoT Plug and Play device:
- What is IoT Plug and Play and the Digital Twin Definition Language (DTDL) that enables it.
- Quickstart: Use a device capability model to create an IoT Plug and Play device
- Build an IoT Plug and Play Preview device that's ready for certification
- Use Azure IoT Device Workbench extension in Visual Studio Code
- Connect an MXChip IoT DevKit device to your Azure IoT Central application via IoT Plug and Play
