Provisioning the device

Each device needs to be provisioned with a unique JSON file device.json that is used for authentication. Refer to the Device Provisioning Guide to download the device configuration file. Rename the downloaded file to device.json and place it in the “download” partition(/mnt/download) of the device. If you are connecting to the device via ssh you can use the below scp command. First, provide permission to the /mnt/download partition using chmod command. 
chmod 777 /mnt/download
and then use scp command 
scp /home/bytebeam/Downloads/device.json user@<IP address of device>:/mnt/download
