MXChip not connecting to IoT Hub

I am following the Azure MXChip Get Started guide but am not able to connect the device to IoT Hub.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/samples/azure-samples/mxchip-iot-devkit-get-started/sample/

I have tried the connection string for both the device and iothubowner however neither work.
The device after rebooting just has the text Running... > IoT Hub.

HostName=my-hub-name.azure-devices.net;DeviceId=MXChip-Dev;SharedAccessKey=STRING=

HostName=my-hub-name.azure-devices.net;SharedAccessKeyName=iothubowner;SharedAccessKey=STRING=

I can't see the device inside IoT Hub.

As this was last updated July 2020, has there been changes to the way the device needs to connect or do I need to set up any type of permissions for the device in IoT Hub?

Thanks.

    @Samuel Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum!

    Documentation works as expected. Could you confirm, if you have registered a device and got the connection string as per the documentation?

    Below is an example of the device connection string.

    HostName={YourIoTHubName}.azure-devices.net;DeviceId=MyNodeDevice;SharedAccessKey={YourSharedAccessKey}

    You have mentioned, I can't see the device inside IoT Hub. where are you looking for the device?
