Hello.

It’is specified in the OrangeStarterKitComponent.c file that the API key is to be specified directly on the board.

"  
// set your apikey on the board  
// ssh [root@192.168.2.2](mailto:root@192.168.2.2) '/legato/systems/current/bin/config set /LiveObjects/apiKey ’  
"

But once connected to the card, in the described folder. It’s not possible to edit the config file.

I think I don’t understand something. Can you shed some light on that?

Thank you in advance for your help.

I’m not familiar with the code you are referencing, but I think they’re saying to do this:

1. On your development machine, run `ssh root@192.168.2.2` to connect to login to the mangOH
2. run `config set /LiveObjects/apiKey [YOUR_KEY_HERE]` to set the API key into the config tree database
