Overview - Azure IoT C SDK

The Azure IoT C SDK and accompanying libraries enable developers to more easily create IoT solutions written in C for Azure and the Azure IoT platform.

Getting Started

New to Azure IoT Hub?

• Introduction to Azure IoT Hub: Follow this guide to learn how to set up an IoT Hub and IoT Hub devices.

New to the Azure IoT C SDK?

• Ubuntu Telemetry Walkthrough: On Ubuntu, compile a basic application that sends telemetry to your IoT Hub device.

Components

• Azure IoT Hub Device C SDK: Connect devices running C code to Azure IoT Hub.
• Azure IoT Hub Service C SDK: Interface with an Azure IoT Hub service instance from a server-side C application.
• Azure IoT Hub Provisioning Client SDK: Client SDK for automated device provisioning.
• Azure IoT Hub Device Provisioning Service Client SDK: Enroll devices with Azure IoT Device Provisioning Services and managing enrollments lists.
• Serializer Library for C: A tool to help serialize and deserialize data on your device.

Packages and Libraries for Device SDK

Long Term Support

The Azure IoT C SDK offers a Long Term Support (LTS) version is shielded from unwanted changes, while still incorporating critical bugfixes related to security and performance. A new LTS version will be created every 6 months. The lifetime of an LTS branch is currently planned for one year, subject to change by the Azure IoT SDK team.
