The Remote Provisioning Client (RPC) is an application that enables remote capabilities for Intel® AMT, such as as device activation and configuration. To accomplish this, RPC communicates with the Remote Provisioning Server (RPS) to activate and connect the edge device.

For detailed documentation about RPC or other features of the Open AMT Cloud Toolkit, see the docs.

Prerequisites

We leverage GitHub Actions as a means to build RPC automatically leveraging Github's CI/CD Infrastructure. This avoids having to deal with the challenges of getting your build environment just right on your local machine and allows you to get up and running much faster.
