Device template not showing in Azure IoT Central

Question

Hi, I recently got an MXCHIP IoT DevKit and was trying to set something up in the Azure IoT Central using a custom app. Once I clicked and made a new app, it asked me for a device template and so I went to the "device templates" page. Once I'm there, I cannot seem to find my chip as a device. I've seen several youtube videos explaining how to set it up, and they've used the template because it makes it easier to work with. I've clicked, searched, scrolled everywhere, I cannot seem to find the template. Help!!

Apparently its supposed to be beside the XDK110 template, but its not there.

Only certified devices appear in the list, Mxchip did not go through this process for V2 version of DTDL hence its not there.

The mxchip https://github.com/Azure/iot-plugandplay-models/blob/main/dtmi/azurertos/devkit/gsgmxchip-1.json will work with the Azure RTOS sample https://github.com/azure-rtos/getting-started/tree/master/MXChip/AZ3166 and can be used for lab or demo.

The template can be created by importing capability model from the repo. IoT Central will automatically create matching template if the modelId is sent by the device during registration. The above sample code does that.

Hope this answers your query. Do let us know if you have any further queries.
