The hardware ID sample prints a unique hardware ID by using the :ref:`lib_hw_id` library.

Requirements

The sample supports the following development kits:

.. table-from-sample-yaml::

Overview

You can use this sample to try out the different hardware ID sources supported by the :ref:`lib_hw_id` library.

Configuration

|config|

By default, the hardware ID sample uses the hardware ID provided by Zephyr's HW Info API. You can change the hardware ID source by using one of the following :file:`conf` files:

• :file:`overlay-ble-mac` file for Bluetooth® Low Energy MAC address.
• :file:`overlay-imei` file for the :term:`International Mobile (Station) Equipment Identity (IMEI)` of the modem.
• :file:`overlay-uuid` file for the UUID of the modem.

Building and running

Testing

|test_sample|

1. |connect_terminal_specific|

2. Reset the kit.

3. Observe the following output:

   hw_id: DEADBEEF00112233

   If an error occurs, the sample prints the following message with the error code:

   hw_id_get failed (err -5)
   hw_id: unsupported

Dependencies

This sample uses the following |NCS| library:
