Validate V1 core devices can run V2 software

The Amazon IoT Greengrass Core software v2.x has different requirements than the Amazon IoT Greengrass Core software v1.x. Before you upgrade V1 core devices to V2, review the device requirements for Amazon IoT Greengrass V2. Amazon IoT Greengrass V2 doesn't currently support migration for custom Linux-based systems using the Yocto Project.

You can use Amazon IoT Device Tester (IDT) for Amazon IoT Greengrass V2 to validate that devices meet the requirements to run the Amazon IoT Greengrass Core software v2.x. IDT is a downloadable testing framework that runs on your host computer and connects to devices to be validated. Follow instructions to use IDT to run the Amazon IoT Greengrass qualification suite. When you configure IDT, you can choose to validate whether devices support optional features, such as Docker, machine learning (ML), data stream management, and hardware security integration.

If IDT reports V2 test failures or errors for a V1 core device, you can't upgrade that device from V1 to V2.
