  • macOS

    • Windows

    After installed our package, follow bellowing steps to disable data collection:

    1. Open SDK folder (C:\Users\{your name}\azure-board-cli\AppData\Local\Arduino15\packages\AZ3166\hardware\stm32f4\{version}).

    2. If there is a file named platform.local.txt. Replace -DENABLETRACE=1 with -DENABLETRACE=0. Notice that there are two and you need to replace both.

      If there is no file named platform.local.txt. Create a new one and paste following content:

      compiler.c.extra_flags=-DCORRELATIONID="0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"  -DENABLETRACE=0
compiler.cpp.extra_flags=-DCORRELATIONID="0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"  -DENABLETRACE=0

    macOS

    After installed our package, follow bellowing steps to disable data collection:

    1. Open SDK folder (~/Library/Arduino15/packages/AZ3166/hardware/stm32f4/{version}).

    2. If there is a file named platform.local.txt. Replace -DENABLETRACE=1 with -DENABLETRACE=0. Notice that there are two and you need to replace both.

      If there is no file named platform.local.txt. Create a new one and paste following content:

      compiler.c.extra_flags=-DCORRELATIONID="0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"  -DENABLETRACE=0
compiler.cpp.extra_flags=-DCORRELATIONID="0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000"  -DENABLETRACE=0

    Notice

    File platform.local.txt can be created by installation or manually. But it will be removed after you update SDK version with Arduino. So you may need to manually create it each time after update.
