1. Getting Started as an EdgeX Developer
Tech Talks – Session 1

2. Agenda Introduction Tech Talk Sessions Tools you need to install
Getting EdgeX code from GitHub (and what to get)
Setting up the database
Bringing the Code into Eclipse
Running EdgeX in Eclipse
Future Topics
Q&A

3. Jim White Dell Distinguished Engineer & Senior Software Architect
From Dell End User Computing (EUC) CTO
Chief Architect and lead developer of Fuse
I wrote code line #1 
Fuse => EdgeX Foundry

4. EdgeX Tech Talks
Provide this new community with background on the current system
In the future, they may address future architecture or special calls to action
Currently scheduled for every week (Thursdays)
Alternating weekly times: 8am and 6pm ET
Trying to be sensitive to global attendance
Quick poll in a second on where people are located and what times work
Topics TBD – we’ll discuss at the end or you can me suggestions

5. Where are you located?

6. Tools of the trade
What you need to get in order to develop EdgeX today
Git
Mongo database*
Java JDK (version 1.8 or better)
Eclipse (recommend Mars version or better)
Make sure Eclipse knows where your is located through Preferences
Docker and Docker Compose*
* optional depending on your work
EdgeX has been developed a cross a variety of OS
Windows
Linux
Mac
Going to assume you can get and setup the tools you need on your environment
If you desperately need help, please contact me

7. Getting EdgeX
Download the project repositories with Git at github.com/edgexfoundry
EdgeX is comprised of many micro services and libraries
M – A – N – Y!!
Learn the landscape (dependencies and connection points) as you go.
+Developers#GetEdgeXFoundry-Developers-Dependencies

8. Git EdgeX See it In Action
Stop when you have the pieces you need (more in a bit)
developer-scripts
core- domain, test, & exception
support-domain
support- logging & notifications
support- logging & notifications -client
core- metadata, data, command
core- metadata, data, command –client
device- sdk-tools, sdk, virtual
export- domain & test
export- client, distro
support- scheduler & rulesengine
You can ignore the docker versions for now
See it In Action

9. EdgeX Services and libs
export-domain
export-test
support-domain
core-domain
core-test
core-exception
device-sdk
device-sdk-tools

10. Setting up the database
See it In Action
Make sure you have the developer-scripts repos
Go to the directory containing init-mongo.js
Run mongo with this script
mongo init-mongo.js
Alternately, for advanced users, you can run the EdgeX Mongo Docker container
Using and working with Docker topic for another session

11. Bringing EdgeX into Eclipse
Nearly all the EdgeX micro services and libraries are Java Maven Projects
device-sdk-tools is the exception
Import each as a Maven Project
After importing, do a Maven Install of the project
Gets the associated libraries and compile/build your project in your local environment
Import and Build in the order per slide 9
See it In Action

12. Oops There is an error in the device-virtual pom.xml
Before building it, correct the problem
Open pom.xml by double clicking on it
Add <pluginManagement> element around the <plugins> element.
Save and let the project rebuild itself.
All better
This will be fixed with the next build
See it In Action

13. Running in Eclipse
Minimally, you an run the following micro services to explore EdgeX
core-metadata
core-data
device-virtual
Before you do, change the configuration of the device-virtual
Update the service-name & host
You may want to set the log level of any of the services
Start mongo (if not already running)
To run each service, right click & select Run As -> Java Application
Select the org.edgexfoundry.Application class to run

14. Minimal EdgeX Running

15. Check that EdgeX is working
Check the logs
“This is … the X Micro Service”
Ping the service
port>/api/v1/ping
for core data on dell-demo
See the event count collected
See the devices “connected”
See the event/reading data from a particular device

17. What Topics Should Be Covered in Tech Talks
Docker version?
Deep dive on each micro service?
Device SDK?
???
And what’s the priority?
