Provision: how to set the device name? - provisioning

Question

20 days ago I've successfully provisioned for ESP-32 and work fine with this device.
Today I've successfully provisioned the second ESP-32 chip on another computer:
5.40 MiB / 5.40 MiB [------------------------------------] 100.00% 14.69 MiB p/s

device was successfully flashed
However, I cannot start the application on this device:
michael_k # michaelk: ~ /toit_apps/Hsm2/tests $ toit run test_hsm_switch_async_4.toit
No default device set. Provide the device name (with the --device flag) to the command
michael_k # michaelk: ~ /toit_apps/Hsm2/tests $
I realized that this new device needs to be given a different name from my default device micrcx-1. By the way, I can see my first appliance:
michael_k # michaelk: ~ /toit_apps/Hsm2/tests $ toit devices
+--------------------------------------+----------+-------------------+----------+
| DEVICE ID | NAME | LAST SEEN | FIRMWARE |
+--------------------------------------+----------+-------------------+----------+
| XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX | micrcx-1 | Apr 29 2021 04:05 | v1.0.2 |
+--------------------------------------+----------+-------------------+----------+
michael_k#michaelk:~/toit_apps/Hsm2/tests$
So, the question is: how to give a name to a new additional device and how to run an application on it?
Thanks in advance, MK
PS. Naturally, I could be wrong, but as far as I remember, the name of the first device was assigned by toit system automatically. I had nothing to do with this. micrcx is my computer's identifier.

It might be that your device wasn't claimed yet.
In the current release (but hopefully not in future releases), provisioning a device only puts the Toit framework on the device. At this point it is not yet associated with your account and must be claimed.
You can simply run:
toit device claim <hardware-ID> or toit device claim <hardware-ID> --name=<some-name>.
If no name is provided, then the system generates one. Typically these are built out of two words, for example nervous-plastic. You can always change the names at a later point.
Alternatively you can claim the device in the web UI. There is a "CLAIM OR REPLACE DEVICE" button on the top right of the "Devices" view.
FYI: I have edited your post to remove the hardware ID of the new device, so nobody else claims the device in the meantime.
