Device Cloud includes device-side and platform-side components.

Device Cloud includes the Device Cloud platform and the Device Cloud agent for selected operating systems.

Applications, thing definitions, and things are the basis of the Device Cloud platform architecture.

Applications on the device communicate with Device Cloud using the TR-50 protocol over Message Queue Telemetry Transport (MQTT) secured with TLS 1.2.

The agent on the device supports an SDK to build IoT applications and provides a device manager application.

After you complete the account registration process, you are ready to log in to Device Cloud.

The instructions in this document enable you to install the agent on a Linux device, run the device manager application to perform basic device management, and run a sample application that sends data from your device to Device Cloud.

You use the Python package manager, pip, to install the agent and the required dependencies on your device.

The setup-cloud-deps.py program creates and updates the required applications and thing definitions in Device Cloud for the device manager and sample applications.

The connection configuration file specifies the information to enable an application to connect to Device Cloud.

The device manager application provides basic device management for the device on which the application runs.

You can run the iot-simple-telemetry.py application to send data from your device to Device Cloud.

Now that you have started transmitting data successfully, you can continue exploring Device Cloud and start developing your own applications.

Variations in Python environments and the release of Python you use may result in issues when you install the Python agent or when you run applications.

The instructions in this document enable you to install the agent on a Windows device, run the device manager application to perform basic device management, and run a sample application that sends data from your device to Device Cloud.

Now that you have started transmitting data successfully, you can continue exploring Device Cloud and start developing your own applications.

Variations in Python environments and the release of Python you use may result in issues when you install the Python agent or when you run applications.

In this Quick Start, you will install and run the device manager on a VxWorks device, start a sample application that transmits data, and view the data transmission from the Device Cloud Management Portal.

Use a VSB and VIP project to configure VxWorks with Device Cloud support, which must include writable storage.

Build the sample telemetry application as a user mode (RTP) or kernel mode (DKM) application.

Look up the device manager and telemetry application tokens in the Management Portal, and create the configuration files for the device manager and for the device's connection with the Device Cloud.

Boot your device. Copy your configuration files, CA certificates file, telemetry application, and any other files required by your system to device storage media.

Get the device ID from the device_id file, then start the telemetry application.

Log onto the Device Cloud, find your device, and view the data that is being transmitted by the telemetry application from the device.

Now that you have started transmitting data successfully, you can continue exploring Device Cloud and start developing your own applications.

Device Cloud includes the Device Cloud platform and the Device Cloud agent.

This release introduces secure tunnel access through HTTP and HTTPS in addition to SSH, Telnet, VNC, and RDP to devices connected to Device Cloud. It also enhances support for campaigns and triggers.

Host and target support for Device Cloud agent and user interfaces are based on the capabilities and tools of the operating environments.

provides a variety of services, including training courses and contact with customer support engineers, along with a website containing the latest advisories, FAQ lists, known problem lists, and other information resources.

The Winter 2017 release introduces a new platform architecture and changes to the agent to adapt to the new platform.

In the Winter 2017 release, the browser-based user interfaces have been replaced and are accessed through a single URL, which is based on your geographic region.

The Winter 2017 release provides functionality equivalent to that of the previous the platform.

The agent functionality has been divided into a library/SDK and supporting applications, including a device manager.

Earlier releases of Device Cloud and the Winter 2017 release use different terms for similar concepts.

Variations in Python environments and the release of Python you use may result in issues when you install the Python agent or when you run applications.

The Management Portal is the browser-based user interface that is part of Device Cloud.

Log in to the Management Portal to perform administrative tasks and to access developer tools.

The Home page shows recently viewed things, API usage for the previous 30 days, recent event logs, and a pie chart that displays a quick overview of connected things and status.

You can change your profile details and customize the appearance and behavior of the Management Portal.

You can view the list of events for all things and users in an organization.

The following table provides the limitation of the fields used in the Management Portal.

Device Cloud provides a set of APIs that are used to enable devices to connect to Device Cloud and enables mobile and desktop applications to interact with the data available in Device Cloud.

To use the API command interface, you must format the messages you send according to the TR50 protocol specification, which defines a JSON object format that can be processed by numerous applications.

Device Cloud provides a RESTful interface to enable you to write applications that send TR50 commands.

The values for some data types used in the Device Cloud must be within a specific range.

Before sending any commands to Device Cloud, the client must authenticate its connection.

Device Cloud provides a HTTP interface to enable you create applications that use HTTP (or HTTPS) to send commands either by calling the TR50 endpoint or by using the simple REST API.

Applications use the TR50-compliant Device Cloud APIs to interface with Device Cloud.

The Intel Secure Device Onboarding (SDO) service enables SDO-compliant devices to securely register with Device Cloud based on preprovisioned identity information in the device hardware.

The update package contains the files and installation instructions that enable a device to connect to Device Cloud during the onboarding process.

To enable the manufacturer to provide the ownership receipt file, you must provide the public key.

To enable your devices to receiving onboarding information, you must upload your ownership receipt to Device Cloud.

To enable an SDO-compliant device to connect to Device Cloud, it must be associated with an update package for onboarding that contains the Device Cloud agent and other required files.

You can access a device remotely from Device Cloud through applications on the LaunchPad.

To enable remote access to a device through the Device Console link on the LaunchPad, you must configure both the device and the device manager.

You open a remote login session over Telnet through the Device Console link on the LaunchPad.

To enable remote access to a device through the Remote Access link on the LaunchPad, you must configure both the device and the device manager.

You can connect to a device through a secure tunnel using an SSH client application, including a file transfer client such as WinSCP.

You can connect to a device through a secure tunnel using a Telnet client application on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems.

You can connect to a device through a secure tunnel using a VNC client application on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux operating systems..

You can connect to a device through a secure tunnel using a Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) client application on Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux operating systems.

You can install the plugin on multiple operating systems. LaunchPad detects the operating system on which your web browser runs, and enables you download the plugin specific to that operating system.

You can create filters to customize your searches to help you connect to a device.

Some clients require specific settings when connecting to a device through a secure tunnel.

Problems connecting to the device are often caused by a mismatch between the client application running on the host and the configuration on the device.
