Prerequisites

For this Quickstart Guide:

• Development computer with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS. Warning: Commands and instructions may vary slightly on other Ubuntu releases and Linux distributions.
• Successfully completed the previous lessons from this guide.

* This is a requisite for the entire Quickstart, but our Torizon OTA app will run on any browser, on any Linux, Windows or MacOS.

For this lesson:

• Access to the board terminal. It is described in the previous lesson on this Quickstart Guide named Linux Terminal and Basic Usage.

Step 1

Go to the Torizon OTA app website and log in. Register a new account for free if you don't have one.

• 

  Torizon OTA login page

Step 2

In the "Recent Devices" column, click on "Provision Device".

Step 4

Paste it on your SoM's terminal and execute it:

You will be prompted with the torizon user password. Type in the password and press Enter.

After the process is finished, the expected output is similar to this:

== Success!

{
  "registeredName": "Twin-Cake",
  "deviceID": "apalis-imx6-10692073-c39c",
  "deviceUuid": "c39cc5ea-ccbc-445b-9825-b94c0ec9bff3",
  "createdAt": "2021-05-27 13:11:14.655340179 +0000 UTC m=+7935.602132966"

Tip: if you don't remember how to connect to the board's terminal, go back a few lessons on this Quickstart Guide until you reach the lesson Linux Terminal and Basic Usage.

Your device will appear on the Torizon OTA dashboard. If it does not show up automatically, refresh (F5) the Device's view.
