 - Locate the board's `Arduino.h` (`hardware/esp8266/<board package version>/cores/esp8266/` and comment out the line containing `#define round(x)`, around line 137.
 
-- Two folders up from the `Arduino.h` step above, in the same folder as the board's `platform.txt`, paste the [`platform.local.txt`](https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-arduino/blob/master/examples/iothub_ll_telemetry_sample/esp8266/platform.local.txt) file from the `esp8266` folder in the sample into it.
+- Two folders up from the `Arduino.h` step above, in the same folder as the board's `platform.txt`, create file `platform.local.txt` containing a single line `build.extra_flags=-DESP8266 -DDONT_USE_UPLOADTOBLOB -DUSE_BALTIMORE_CERT`.
