IoT DevKit Setup Issue: What Should I Select for Board Type?


I am currently setting up an MXChip (DevKit) for use with Azure by following the guide below:

https://microsoft.github.io/azure-iot-developer-kit/docs/get-started/

After configuring the device connection string, I cannot complete the subsequent step (Build and upload Arduino sketch) without having to select a board type. These are the options listed:

I am unsure of which option to choose. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.


Solution

  • Type F1, and then enter Arduino: Board Manager into the action line to view board packages. Installing the newest edition of the MXChip Board Package will cause that package to appear as an option in the board type list.

    I also ran into a subsequent compiling error in which the terminal indicated:

    "exec: "/bin/arm-none-eabi-g++": file does not exist"

    Installing the Arduino Zero Board Package from the board manager solved this error.
