EdgeScale client
This chapter describes edgescale, its features and the procedure to use Edgescale on NXP supported hardware platforms.
Notice: EdgeScale client is not enabled in OpenIL v1.8 release.
18.1 What is EdgeScale
EdgeScale is a unified, scalable, and secure device management solution for Edge Computing applications. It enables OEMs
and developers to leverage cloud compute frameworks like AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT and Aliyun on Layerscape devices. It
provides the missing piece of device security and management needed for customers to securely deploy and manage a large
number of Edge computing devices from the cloud. End-users and developers can use the EdgeScale cloud dashboard to
securely enroll Edge devices, monitor their health, attest and deploy container applications and firmware updates.
EdgeScale can also be used as a development environment to build containers and generate firmware.
18.2 Edgescale features
Following are the features supported by Edgescale:
• EdgeScale dashboard for users
• Secure device enrolment
• Secure key/certificate provisioning
• OTA: firmware update (LS1012A, LS1043. LS1046, or LS1028)
• Device status monitoring on the cloud
• Dynamic deployment of container-based applications
• The above specified features are currently supported in LSDK. For more details, please visit:
