The goal of this process is to monitor and control your Edge Device remotely.
- Configure your Edge Device (a Raspberry Pi) with the correct OS system
- Learn how to access a Raspberry Pi through an SSH server
- Install the ECP Management Service to connect your Device to the SmartWorks platform
- Define your Asset on the SmartWorks platform
- Deploy the ECP (Edge Compute Platform) to your Asset
- Deploy code at the Edge to emulate data streaming
