The Azure Sphere OS update 20.07 is now available for evaluation via the Retail Eval feed. The evaluation period provides 14 days for backwards compatibility testing. During this time, please verify that your applications and devices operate properly with this release before it’s deployed broadly via the Retail feed. The Retail feed will continue to deliver OS version 20.06 until we publish the 20.07 update in two weeks.

 

The evaluation release includes an OS update only; it does not include an updated SDK.

 

Areas of focus for compatibility testing with the 20.07 evaluation release should include:

  • Apps/functionality utilizing real-time cores
  • Apps/functionality using ADC and/or PWM
  • Apps/functionality that use functions in the Azure IoT C SDK (include/azureiot)
