The Industrial Raspberry Pi Forum

Good morning-

I'm looking at utilizing connectivity to Microsoft Azure to push data to their IoT Hub or to an event hub. One such article for the Pi is http://blog.jongallant.com/2016/08/azur ... erry-pi-3/

While I ran across a forum post it didn't have any final conclusion.

My question is this: If I have a standard Raspberry Pi running Jessie and get that to work with Azure would I expect that to also work on the RevPi? In other words, are their limitations that would keep me from getting this set up to work with Azure?

Thanks,

David

I'm not sure what exactly aou expect when installing the IoT Gaeway software from Azure. Do you want to SSH your system or do you expect to get IO Data from DIO /AIO modules (more generally said from our process image) into Azure's database? There should be basicly no limits to get the software installed. But Raspberry has a complete different IO Acces (GPIOs, I2C, SPI, UART etc.) which you will not find on a RevPi. So if you want to do IoT (in its original sense - that is transfering IO data from the device to the cloud) this will need an affort to programm the access to the central process image and to channel this data into the cloud run time service / agent. If you are aware of this task you should simply try it. I will take a few hours and you will know if it works or not.
I can only tell you that other customers have realized VPN via Azure on our RevPi and we hav also successfully implementes AWS greengrass on the RevPi. Bieside that there is alos th KUNBUS cloud service with which you can very easily install the agent on your RevPi and get data on our cloud.

Hi David,
i use C# to implement a simple MQTT connection to send Data to the Azure IoT Hub.
I don't use the Azure libraries because of too many dependencies.
Instead i use the very simple MQTTnet (https://github.com/chkr1011/MQTTnet).
This works fine on the RevPi.
