Lessons learned using the Azure Sphere Starter Kit from Avnet:
- Update to the latest OS version ASAP. I faced some issues where the board could not connect to the service before I upgraded to OS version 19.10
- I did face an issue where https://www.element14.com/community/groups/azuresphere/blog/2019/04/24/avnets-azure-sphere-starter-kit-out-of-box-demo-part-1-of-3#comment-245205. However, after contacting Avnet through the element14 community, they promptly released a fix on Github.
- Some of the Azure Sphere videos talk about configuring the IoT Hub settings by selecting the project in Visual Studio, selecting Overview and then choosing Connected Services, then clicking on IoT Hub. That never worked. After researching the issue, I found out that this method has been deprecated. In the new OS versions, the IoT Hub settings are all done in the app_manifest.json file.
