## Setting up

* **Note**\
  You can quickly create the device role using the Device Advisor console. See [Getting started with the Device Advisor in the console](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/iot/latest/developerguide/da-console-guide.html) for the steps to set up your device role using the Device Advisor console.
* **Note**\
  We recommend that you create an IAM user to use when you run Device Advisor tests. Using an IAM admin user to run Device Advisor tests, while allowed, is not recommended.
* **Note**\
  To make your device software ready for testing, we recommend that you have an SDK that can connect to AWS IoT Core and update the SDK with the Device Advisor test endpoint provided for your account.
