Registering Your Device

Your Linux® microPlatform (LmP) image includes the lmp-device-register tool that registers your device via the Foundries.io™ REST API.

  1. Run this command from the device console to register it with your Factory:
sudo lmp-device-register -n <device-name> -f <factory>

Note

The parameter -f <factory> is only needed for the first target.

  1. You will be prompted by lmp-device-register to complete a challenge with our API. Follow the instructions on the promped message:

    Example Output:

    Registering device, test, to factory gavin.
