Here are steps to get started
1) install Azure Sphere SDK by following instruction on https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-sphere/install/install
in short, we need visual studio 2019 or 2017. Upon plug in we get 3 com port
from visual studio 2019, extension , search, download (156MB) and install it
2) we need to check the azure os to see if it needs an os update https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-sphere/install/install-os
I initially fail this and I find out that as with most previous Microsoft documentation, some steps are always missing
I find out that first need to register for an azure sphere account
screen below show before I login and after I successfully login I can check whether my kit need update
eventually I have to use the help command to get to the correct list of getting the version. mine is 19.05 hence I do not need further action to update the OS
going forward it is able to do update OTA
3) next, follow https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-sphere/install/claim-device to claim the device
as the first user for my company I also need to create a tenant https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-sphere/install/create-tenant
note: An Azure Sphere tenant isolates your organization's Azure Sphere devices from all other Azure Sphere devices and enables your organization to manage them. The Azure Sphere tenant is strictly used for Azure Sphere; it is not the same as an Azure AD tenant.
4) connect the device to wifi
to connect : azsphere device wifi add --ssid <yourSSID> --key <yourNetworkKey>
to check status : azsphere device wifi show-status
_______________________________-
for the contest that I am taking part, I need to sync the device every day. as of this writing I not yet see my device. think will see it soon
