The Azure IoT EdgeHub Dev Tool is in a maintenance mode. Please see this announcement for more details. We recommend using VM, Physical devices or EFLOW.
The Azure IoT EdgeHub Dev Tool provides a local development experience with a simulator for creating, developing, testing, running, and debugging Azure IoT Edge modules and solutions.
The simulator allows you to run, test and debug your own custom IoT Edge modules locally, without the IoT Edge Runtime, and with the following benefits:
The following table compares the requirements to run your solution on the IoT Edge Runtime and iotedgehubdev tool:
IoT Edge Runtime | iotedgehubdev | |
---|---|---|
Device Credential Needed | YES | YES |
IoT Hub Credential Needed | YES | NO |
Build Image | YES | YES |
Push Image | YES | NO |
Create Deployment | YES | NO |
Support native debug scenario | NO | YES |
Install Docker CE (18.02.0+) on Windows, macOS or Linux
Install Docker Compose (1.20.0+) (Linux only. Compose has already been included in Windows/macOS Docker CE installation)
Install iotedgehubdev by running the following command in your terminal:
pip install --upgrade iotedgehubdev
Ensure the user is a member of docker user group (Linux / MacOS only):
sudo usermod -aG docker $USER
Please make sure there is no Azure IoT Edge runtime running on the same machine as iotedgehubdev since they require the same ports.
iotedgehubdev setup -c "<edge-device-connection-string>"
iotedgehubdev start -d <path/to/deployment-manifest>
iotedgehubdev stop
Start the module with specific input(s) and/or environment variable(s)
iotedgehubdev start -i "<module-inputs>"
// OR
iotedgehubdev start -i "<module-inputs>" -e "<environment-variable>"
For example:
iotedgehubdev start -i "input1,input2" -e "TestEnv1=Value1" -e "TestEnv2=Value2"
Output the module credential environment variables
iotedgehubdev modulecred
Start your module natively with the environment variables from the previous step
Send a message to your module through the RESTful API
For example:
curl --header "Content-Type: application/json" --request POST --data '{"inputName": "input1","data": "hello world"}' http://localhost:53000/api/v1/messages
Stop the simulator
iotedgehubdev stop
