Linux SDK/IDE Support?

Question

I was going to get started with my Azure Sphere but I see now that I need VS and Win10. How do I get started developing on a Linux machine? Is it correct that there is no Linux developer support? If so, I think you have made a huge prioritization error.

Answer 1

for Unix-like need:

• TAP-TUN-SLIP daemon ( uart to network interface ) ( python in process )
• HTTPS-REST-API ( app uploader, azsphereo-tool ) ( python in process )
• App Image Packer
• GCC arm-linux hard float
• IDE

Answer 2

small research and experiments for unix-like platforms:

Dear friend,

According to the latest announcement by Microsoft, Linux IDE will be supported in next release.

We will release an Azure Sphere SDK preview for Linux. In this preview release, it is supported on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS only; your mileage may vary on other distributions.
We will release a preview of our Visual Studio Code extension for Azure Sphere, for both Windows and Linux.

Please refer to this post for more details:

Answer 4

NICE ! but

The IDE is the smallest problem...

For "full" unix-like I am ready at 98%
1% is asxipfs root and folder size

https://github.com/Wiz-IO/azure-sphere-reverse-engineering/blob/master/packer/az_packer.py#L71
https://github.com/Wiz-IO/azure-sphere-reverse-engineering/blob/master/packer/az_packer.py#L79

1% problem is SIGN image - the last 64 bits from image package

I use python for packer but python not have library for PFX.SIGN_HASH
PRIVATE_KEY( 'Exp23.ImageMetadata.app_test_sign.pfx' ).SIGN( SHA256( meta_data[] ) )
https://github.com/Wiz-IO/azure-sphere-reverse-engineering/blob/master/packer/az_meta.py#L128

You ( Microsoft ) can help ( if you want, but I know you don't want )
I need app_test_sign.pfx private key in PEM format 
( -----BEGIN EC PRIVATE KEY----- )
