  • Distinct workflows and configurations to ease your development process, with a seamless transition into deployment.
  • A flexible provisioning mechanism that can work with any factory setup to give your device all the information it needs to connect to Device Management.
  • Web application development using a choice of interfaces: REST APIs, Software Development Kits (SDKs), and an online portal.

    • Release notes

    Release notes are available for Pelion Device Management, Device Management Client and Device Management Client Lite.

    Note: If you are using Device Management Client 3.2.0, we recommend that you upgrade to 3.3.0 (or later) as soon as possible. In 3.2.0, if an SSL session is stored when the device rebootstraps, a bootstrap loop may render the device unusable. Client 3.3.0 release fixes this issue by clearing the SSL session.
