CModule Logs

Hello
I have question please: I want to visualize the CModule's logs to see what is happening. I can't find a way to see the messages sent from the downstream device are actually received by the gateway neither in visual studio code nor using ""iotedge logs CModule"" command
Thank you

Is the use of ubuntu as base image problematic with regards to ubuntus intellectual property rights policy?

azure-iot-edge-c-module/Dockerfile.amd64

Line 1 in 10759c7

FROM ubuntu:bionic AS base

As far as I understand https://ubuntu.com/legal/intellectual-property-policy (especially "You can modify Ubuntu for personal or internal commercial use.") you are not allowed to redistribute modules commercially. That leads to uncertainty in many cases, e.g. what about the simple and free handover to another member of a corporate group (is this still an "internal commercial use" or not?).

Since a provided template will often be used as the base of real world applications, the choice of ubuntu as a base image might lead to legal/compliance problems that might be spotted relative late during the projects.

So is there a reason why especially ubuntu was chosen? Or would another distribution like alpine or debian would make more sense and avoid legal problems? And would it make sense to adopt the template?

(I'm not a lawyer, so I'm not sure how problematic the IP rights policy is, my point is more that one should avoid this problem in the first place)

Announcing the Azure IoT Edge tool offerings in maintenance mode

As Azure IoT Edge product continues to evolve with new features and updated version to the LTS 1.4 (Long term service), one of our goals is to ensure we deliver consistent ways to develop, debug and test Azure IoT Edge modules on various version of Azure IoT Edge.

To best support the consistency across heterogenous developer environments and requirements, we have now published a new documentation which describes how to develop, debug and test Azure IoT Edge modules using command line interface.
This is a new recommended way to develop Azure IoT Edge modules.

With this new way, effective immediately, we are putting these product offering in maintenance mode where we are making minimum updates/changes to the products moving forward. Note that these products will continue to be available via either Marketplace or GitHub release pages.

These product are:
• Azure IoT Edge extension to Visual Studio Code
• Azure IoT Edge extension to Visual Studio 2019/2022
• IoTEdgeHubDev tool
• Azure DevOps pipeline for IoT Edge

thank you,
Azure IoT Edge team
