Provision a device

Provisioning initializes an AosCore-powered device and registers it with AosCloud.

Once provisioned, the device becomes visible in AosCloud as Unit, and can be fully managed through it.

Prerequisites

• host machine

  • Python and aos-prov are installed. If not, see Aos CLI tools to install them.
  • OEM user certificate is installed. Check with aos-keys info --oem. If not, see Issue new user certificate.

• device

  • Global IP address can be assingned.

    info

    For AosCloud to provision a device, it must be accessible via Internet with global IP address.

Find device's IP address

Connect your device to the network and turn on the power.

Find the device's global IP address.

Provision

Run below command.

aos-prov provision -u <device_ip_address>

If successful, the device is provisioned and available for management from AosCloud as a Unit.

Is this a valid command? In AosVM CLI output, I see aos-prov unit-new --name <unit name>. How are these different?
