Registering Your Device

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

To register a device with your Factory, run the following from the device console:

sudo lmp-device-register -n <device-name> -f <factory>

Note

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

You will be prompted by lmp-device-register to complete a challenge with our API. Follow the instruction prompts:

Registering device, test, to factory gavin.

After registration devices will run all applications that are available in the latest Target. This default behavior can be changed by enabling only specific applications. Read Enabling/Disabling Apps to learn how.
