    How to install development environment with data collection disabled

    Before your installation, you can set environment variable in terminal and then run installation script. Data collection during installation and after installation will be disabled.

    Launch Command Prompt as an administrator, locate the folder into which you extracted the .zip file, and run:

      setx TRACEOFF "true"
  install.cmd

    How to disable data collection after installation

    If you have already installed our package and enabled data collection. You can still disable data collection.

    1. Open SDK floder (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

    If you have already installed our package and enabled data collection. You can still disable data collection.

    1. Open SDK floder (~/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.

    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.
