You can download the nRF Connect for Cloud certificate for your
nRF9160 DK from nRF Connect for Cloud.
Complete the following steps to download the certificate:
-
Go to nRF Connect for Cloud (nrfcloud.com) and sign in.
-
Click the menu icon in the top-right corner and select
Account.
-
In the Device Certificates section, enter your device ID
and ownership code.
- Device ID
- The device ID is composed of nrf- and the
15-digit International Mobile (Station) Equipment Identity (IMEI) number that is printed on
the label of your nRF9160 DK. For example:
nrf-123456789012345
- Ownership code
- The ownership code is the PIN or the hardware ID of your
Development Kit (DK). You can find it on the label of
your nRF9160 DK. If the label contains a PIN in addition to the
IMEI number, enter this PIN. If it
does not contain a PIN, enter the HWID HEX code, with or without
colons. For example: AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF or
AABBCCDDEEFF
You need to enter this information several times while setting up your
nRF9160 DK. Therefore, it can be helpful to note it down somewhere on your
PC.
Note: The ownership code serves as a password and proves that you own the
specific nRF9160 DK. Therefore, you should not share it with anyone.
