Microsoft Azure IoT Development Kit (MXChip AZ3166)¶

Hardware¶

Platform ST STM32: The STM32 family of 32-bit Flash MCUs based on the ARM Cortex-M processor is designed to offer new degrees of freedom to MCU users. It offers a 32-bit product range that combines very high performance, real-time capabilities, digital signal processing, and low-power, low-voltage operation, while maintaining full integration and ease of development.

Configuration¶

Please use mxchip_az3166 ID for board option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File):

[env:mxchip_az3166]
platform = ststm32
board = mxchip_az3166

You can override default Microsoft Azure IoT Development Kit (MXChip AZ3166) settings per build environment using board_*** option, where *** is a JSON object path from board manifest mxchip_az3166.json. For example, board_build.mcu, board_build.f_cpu, etc.

[env:mxchip_az3166]
platform = ststm32
board = mxchip_az3166

; change microcontroller
board_build.mcu = stm32f412zgt6

; change MCU frequency
board_build.f_cpu = 100000000L

Uploading¶

Microsoft Azure IoT Development Kit (MXChip AZ3166) supports the next uploading protocols:

• blackmagic

• jlink

• stlink

Default protocol is stlink

You can change upload protocol using upload_protocol option:

[env:mxchip_az3166]
platform = ststm32
board = mxchip_az3166

upload_protocol = stlink

Debugging¶

PIO Unified Debugger - “1-click” solution for debugging with a zero configuration.

You can switch between debugging Tools & Debug Probes using debug_tool option in “platformio.ini” (Project Configuration File).

Microsoft Azure IoT Development Kit (MXChip AZ3166) has on-board debug probe and IS READY for debugging. You don’t need to use/buy external debug probe.
