Azure Sphere DevX Overview

The DevX library accelerates your development and will help to improve your developer experience building Azure Sphere applications.

The DevX library addresses many common Azure Sphere scenarios with a focus on:

1. IoT Hub messaging
2. Avnet IoTConnect messaging
3. IoT Hub Device Twins and Direct Methods
4. Intercore Messaging
5. Event Timers
6. GPIO
7. UARTS
8. PWM
9. Web Proxy Configuration

The DevX library will help reduce the amount of code you write and improve readability and long-term application maintenance.

The focus of the Azure Sphere DevX library is the communications and simplification of common scenarios when building Azure Sphere applications.

Contributing to the DevX Examples Repo

This is an community maintained project and your contribution is welcome and appreciated. Please find the instructions below for adding additional examples to this repo.

1. Fork the repo into your GitHub account
2. Pull your repo, make sure to pull the submodules: git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/<your gitHub account name>/AzureSphereDevX.Examples.git
3. From the command line, change to the root directory of the repo you pulled
4. Create a new branch for your example: git branch <yourBranchName>
5. Switch to your new branch: git checkout <yourBranchName>
6. Add a new folder for your example, try to follow the existing example naming convention
7. I usually copy an existing example as a starting point
8. Your new folder should NOT contain the AzureSphereDevX or HardwareDefinition folders, we'll add these as git submodules next
9. Add the submodules
10. Add the AzureSphereDevX submodule with the command: git submodule add https://github.com/Azure-Sphere-DevX/AzureSphereDevX.git .\<yourNewDirectory>\AzureSphereDevX
11. Add the HardwareDefinitions submodule with the command: git submodule add https://github.com/Azure-Sphere-DevX/AzureSphereDevX.HardwareDefinitions.git .\<yourNewDirectory>\HardwareDefinitions
12. Develop your application and check in your changes to your branch
13. Check the build using the /tools/build-tools/build_all script
14. Once you're ready to move your changes into the public repo open a Pull Request
