Understand the support policy for AWS IoT Device Tester
As of October 2022, AWS IoT Device Tester for AWS IoT FreeRTOS Qualification (FRQ) 1.0 does not generate
signed qualification reports. You cannot qualify new AWS IoT FreeRTOS devices to list in the
AWS Partner Device Catalog through the
AWS Device Qualification Program
using IDT FRQ 1.0 versions. While you can't qualify FreeRTOS devices using IDT FRQ 1.0,
you can continue to test your FreeRTOS devices with FRQ 1.0.
We recommend that you use IDT FRQ 2.0
to qualify and list FreeRTOS devices in the AWS Partner Device Catalog.
AWS IoT Device Tester for FreeRTOS is a test automation tool to validate FreeRTOS port to devices.
Additionally you can qualify
your FreeRTOS devices and list them on the AWS Partner Device Catalog .
The AWS IoT Device Tester for FreeRTOS supports validation and qualification of FreeRTOS Long Term Supported (LTS)
libraries available on GitHub at FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS-LTS ,
and FreeRTOS mainline available at FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS.
We recommend that you use the most recent versions of both the FreeRTOS and AWS IoT Device Tester for FreeRTOS
to validate and qualify your devices.
For FreeRTOS-LTS, IDT supports the validation and qualification of FreeRTOS 202210 LTS version. See here for more information on
FreeRTOS LTS releases and their
maintenance time line. Once the support period of these LTS releases ends, you can still
continue validation, but IDT will not generate a report,
that will allow you to submit your device for qualification.
For the mainline FreeRTOS available at FreeRTOS/FreeRTOS ,
we support the validation and qualification of all the versions released in the past six months, or the previous
two versions of FreeRTOS if released more than six months apart. See here for
currently supported versions.
For unsupported versions of FreeRTOS, you can still continue validation,
but IDT will not generate a report, that will allow you to submit your device for qualification.
See Supported versions of AWS IoT Device Tester
for the latest supported IDT and FreeRTOS versions.
You can use any of the supported versions of AWS IoT Device Tester with the corresponding version of
FreeRTOS to test or qualify your device. If you continue to use the Unsupported IDT versions for FreeRTOS, you will not receive the latest bug fixes or updates.
