Intended use of generating a bootstrap key with %BSKGEN

[Lukáš]

Hi, we just saw that %BSKGEN was added in MFW 1.2.1. However, it is not clear to us what is the intended use of it. Could you please give us a bigger picture of it?

• Is it expected that during the production someone will generate the bootstrap key and store it in the PC and transfer it to the bootstrap server? How to do this effectively (get the PSK from modem via CLI)?
• What does AT&T in the config field do? Why it is not optional?
• What is the context of %BSKGEN with LwM2M services?

Best,

Lukas

Hello, Lukáš!

I will forward the questions internally as I'm not sure about this myself. 

Best regards,

Thanks, Carl!

Hello again!

Got back from the developers now that this command is not intended for use by customers, so you can disregard it. I will make sure that it is removed from the documentation!

Best regards,

Well, I am quite surprised because I think that generating the PSK by the modem could be quite useful for the customers as they don't need to manage this themselves. Could you also please ask if there is some plan to make this or similar functionality public?

I agree that it would be a nice addition. We are unfortunately not allowed to discuss roadmap details on DevZone, but you can inquire your regional sales manager about this. Do you have their contact information? If not I'll send it to you on a private message.

Best regards,

Ah, sorry, I will always forget about it. I will get in touch with our RSM. 

Have a great day,

Lukas

No worries. 

Thank you, and you too!
