Easily build and debug IoT Edge modules on your remote device with Azure IoT Edge for VS Code 1.9.0.
Recently, both Docker and Moby engine support SSH connection, which means you can connect a remote Docker engine more easily than before. In Azure IoT Edge for VS Code 1.9.0, we introduced a new extension setting(azure-iot-edge.executor.env) to inject environment variables into VS Code terminals. By leveraging the new setting and the new SSH connection feature, you can easily complete the tasks below now. Since we can rely on the container engine on the remote machine, we can now run VS Code on our amd64 development machine and build images with an arm device. I’d like to use Raspberry Pi as my IoT E...

Setup Azure IoT Edge CI/CD Pipeline with ARM Agent
Azure IoT Edge is a fully managed service that delivers cloud intelligence locally by deploying and running artificial intelligence (AI), Azure services, and custom logic directly on cross-platform IoT devices. An Edge solution contains one or more modules, which are hosted as docker images and run in docker container on Edge device. In order for an Edge solution to be applied to target Edge device(s), a deployment needs to be created in IoT Hub. The Azure IoT Edge for Azure Pipelines extension is a tool for you to easily setup CI/CD pipelines on Azure DevOps. It provides Build and Push task for continuous int...
A Workaround to Run Azure IoT Edge on ARM64 Devices
Azure IoT Edge went generally available in June, with official support for AMD64 and ARM32 platforms. Recently, more and more developers from the community requested to run Azure IoT Edge on ARM64 (a.k.a. AArch64) devices such NVIDIA TX2. While the ARM64 support of Azure IoT Edge is still in progress, this post will introduce a workaround. When we talk about "running Azure IoT Edge", what we actually mean is running both the Azure IoT Edge security daemon (including its dependencies such as hsmlib) and the Azure IoT Edge runtime images (i.e., edgeAgent and edgeHub). As a result, the workaround requires changes t...
