CK-RX65N
SIM activation, Creating the trial account and using Dashboard with RYZ014A
or Ethernet Application for AWS - Getting Started Guide
Introduction
This document describes a system that uses the CK-RX65N Cloud Kit board from Renesas. This system
incorporates the CK-RX65N running Amazon FreeRTOS and via an Ethernet connection visualizes HS3001,
ZMOD4410, ZMOD4510, OB1203, ICP10101 and ICM20948 sensors information on Amazon Web Services
(AWS) and controls LEDs on the board.
There are two ways of connectivity for CK-RX65N. One is the Ethernet, second is the Cellular CAT M1 using
RYZ014A.This document shows both connectivity.
And this document shows the way of below items:
✓How to activate the SIM card that is contained the CK-RX65N
✓How to create the 10 USD of free trial account for AWS
✓How to operate and install the information of certification for cloud
✓How to see and run the sensor data on the dashboard
