Azure RTOS MxChip App Wifi and Device Configuration

Question

The tutorial for MxChip app quickstart-devkit-mxchip-az3166-iot-hub requires the developer to set build time configuration such as Wifi and Device connection strings in the 'azure_cofig.h" file. This means that the app needs to be built for each and every device separately. Instead, is it possible to build the app once and configure network settings externally from windows 10? Could you please advise how and where the sample needs to be modified in order to acheive this?

Thank you.

Hi @Chandra Mohan

The sample currently uses configuration in code to simplify the experience of building and deploying the solution. For a production system this is obviously not scalable as you mention. One solution here would be to use the serial interface to collect this information, and then store this in flash which would then be retrieved at boot time.

We currently don't have a good working sample to show demonstrate this.

Thanks
