Azure IoT C SDK library

Important

This is the Azure Sphere (Legacy) documentation. Azure Sphere (Legacy) is retiring on 27 September 2027, and users must migrate to Azure Sphere (Integrated) by this time. Use the Version selector located above the TOC to view the Azure Sphere (Integrated) documentation.

The Azure Sphere team bases the C SDK on the Azure IoT C SDK. The Azure Sphere SDK includes a subset of the Azure IoT C SDK library. You can use this API to connect your application to an Azure IoT Hub. The entire supported API surface of the library is defined in the Azure Sphere SDK header files.

API reference: Azure IoT device SDK for C

Header file location: Sysroots\API set\usr\include\azureiot (Windows OS) folder or Sysroots/API set/usr/include/azureiot (Linux OS) folder of the Azure Sphere SDK installation directory at c:\Program Files.

Azure IoT C SDK library features

Azure Sphere is configured with these settings for constrained devices:

  • Access to the lower layer (LL) programming model only; no access to the convenience layer.
  • Use of the MQTT protocol.
  • No support for blob storage.
  • Support of web sockets.

Note

Due to security and size constraints, the Azure Sphere subset of the Azure IoT C SDK library omits support for HTTP and AQMP.

Known issue

  • When using the Azure IoT C SDK to connect to IoT Hub or IoT Central using the Device Provisioning Service, you must implement connection retry logic using your application. If you rely on internal retry logic, you may see an authentication error.
