Create an Asset on a Pre-Installed OS

Before deploying the pre-installed OS, you will first need to create an App (an App is a set of permissions needed to ensure that the access to data is secure and that the user is authorized to perform the request).

Click Access Control > Apps and create a new App by following these steps.
The app should have "cluster" as the scope and the type should be set to "client credentials." The Application Client ID and Secret ID are required in configuring the Image. Be sure to capture and save this information when creating the App.
Set a name for your Asset, enter the App Client ID and Secret ID, and set a name for your Fleet.
Verify that you have completed the appropriate preparation steps (installing k3s and Ubuntu, etc.) and click Next.

Run the commands that appeared in Altair IoT Studio on the hardware's shell, simply copy/paste if possible. These commands will allow you to deploy the Management Server on the Asset and connect to Altair IoT Studio:

When the Asset has successfully established connection with Altair IoT Studio, the following message will appear. Select the Next button to continue.

You will be taken then to the Asset's monitoring page. This is where you can see it's operating statistics and deployments.

On the header you can find the following options:
- View Thing: Redirect to the Thing in AnythingDB that represents your asset. This Thing is automatically created. More details can be found here.
- Recreate Setup: Recreate the configuration. Note this should only be used if there is no longer a valid edge device.
- API Client: Opens the API Client pane where REST API calls to the Edge Compute Platform running on the Asset can be made. More info can be found here.
- Synced Things: Any Thing created in AnythingDB exists on the cloud only. To use the Thing at the Edge it needs to be synchronized to the Edge. Use this option to do the synchronization. More info can be found here.
