Question about Error Message when running the Azure Sphere Reference Design

It looks like Visual Studio is trying to run the project on your PC rather than on the Azure Sphere device. Have you installed the Azure Sphere SDK?

Hi David,

I am not sure but I think I went through all the steps in the blog.  Here is what I have in the program start:

How can I check if I have the SDK installed?

That looks like you have. And it also looks like you've installed the necessary C++ components for Visual Studio too.

It looks like you may have selected "open a local folder" rather that "open a project or solution" when starting Visual Studio. I can get the same bahaviour if I do that and then select x64 configuration. Can you try "open a project or solution" (or alternatively double-click on the AvnetStartKitReferenceDesign.sln file).

I think the Visual Studio extensions to support Azure Sphere development may be missing from your VS installation

Make sure that you install the Azure Sphere SDK after you have installed Visual Studio

The installation sequence is detailed here:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure-sphere/install/install

Specifically, see this section:
Install the Azure Sphere SDK Preview for Visual Studio

I can reproduce Cosmin's issues with the SDK installed and opening the folder rather than the solution in Visual Studio.

Thank you for helping me David and Peter.  I have started Visual Studio using the "open a project or solution option" (I haven't done this before) and now I see the windows and menus as in the blog.  However, I still get an error when trying to run the build and debug:

It mentions that the image is not trusted by the device.  Do you know what can be the cause of this issue?

From the Start button, open the azsphere command prompt

...then enter this command:

azsphere device prep-debug

This command sets up your device for local debugging (it typically needs to be done once, following the automatic update of the device's Azure Sphere OS)

Hi Peter,

Thank you for your help.  It works now:

Good to hear!

PS: Take a look also at the following tutorial that was published last week, this will save you some time when implementing the cloud-based Azure IoT Central section of these exercises  

This is a great tutorial Peter.  Thank you.
