First test of your microcontroller board

You can use IDT for FreeRTOS to test your implementation of the FreeRTOS libraries. After you have ported the FreeRTOS libraries for your board’s device drivers, use AWS IoT Device Tester to run the qualification tests on your microcontroller board.

Add library porting layers

To port FreeRTOS for your device, see the FreeRTOS Porting Guide. When implementing the FreeRTOS tests repository and porting the FreeRTOS layers, you must provide a manifest.yml with paths to each library, including the tests repository. This file will be in the root directory of your source code. See manifest file instructions for details.

Configure your AWS credentials for AWS IoT Device Tester to communicate with the AWS Cloud

You need to configure your AWS credentials for AWS IoT Device Tester to communicate with the AWS Cloud. For more information, see Set up AWS Credentials and Region for Development. Valid AWS credentials are specified in the devicetester_extract_location/devicetester_freertos_[win|mac|linux]/configs/config.json configuration file.


"auth": {
   "method": "environment"
}

"auth": {
    "method": "file",
    "credentials": {
        "profile": "<your-aws-profile>"
    }
}

The auth attribute of the config.json file has a method field that controls AWS authentication, and can be declared as either file or environment. Setting the field to environment pulls your AWS credentials from your host machine’s environment variables. Setting the field to file imports a specified profile from the .aws/credentials config file.
