Thank you! I have closed the ticket since my original concern regarding the certificates has already been resolved.

Hi,

[quote user="Rocio Cabral"]do you think it would be possible to integrate it with the Asset Tracker so I don't have to use nrf Cloud?[/quote]

The Asset Tracker v2 application (which is removed in version 3.0.0 of nRF Connect SDK) does have support for AWS. Have a look at the the supported cloud services table in the documentation.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi, thanks for your response!

While I couldn't register my device in nRF cloud, I found the application_update sample, which uses an AWS server instead. The sample works well on my Actinius Icarus, do you think it would be possible to integrate it with the Asset Tracker so I don't have to use nrf Cloud? Or am I missing some restriction?

Hello, the ticket you are referring to: Registering a 3rd Party Board(Actinius Icarus) to Nrf Cloud is over 4 years old. There have been several upgrades and improvements since then.

The PIN/HWID is provided in production of our nRF9160DK and other Nordic HW. As the Actinius Icarus IoT board is not designed by Nordic it will therefor not have the correct information or certificates to connect to nRF Cloud. You will need to follow steps for generating credentials provided in the nRF Cloud documentation.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
