Managing devices using Device Management Client

You can use Device Management Client to:

Create a unique device identity and register or deregister it from Device Management servers, using a factory-flashed certificate or developer credentials.
Securely communicate with internet services over the industry standard TLS/DTLS.
Manage devices on the Device Management services.
Control the device and application logic from the service side.
Update the devices over the air, with control from the service side, using Device Management Update.
Port the device to a different platform using a unified porting layer (PAL).

The Device Management Client API is in C++ to allow quick application development. For more details, please see the API documentation.

Tip: Device Management Client is an extension of the widely used Device Management Client API.
