Not able to add device in IBM bluemix?

I am not able to add Raspberry Pi to IBM Bluemix. I have generated the access keys and followed all the steps. But when I click on the portal add a device, it asks for device types on creating new one I am still not able to add the device. Has the device adding process changed in new IBM Bluemix portal because none of the recipes defines it. Please provide the latest steps if someone has.

Your device id would be the mac address of the Raspberry pi ( without the colons ). e.g: A mac address would be b8:27:eb:98:46:0a, and the device id would be b827eb98460a. Hope this helps.

Yes, there was a change in the device portal. Previously there may have been a drop down that had raspberry pi as an option. Now if you want to add a device and don't already have a raspberry pi device type defined just click "add device" then "create device type" and add the info to define your device. Note that the metadata field is optional.

Once you have gone through the steps to add "device type", that type will then be available to select when you add device and you can choose it as the type to add, then click next and the screen will have a place to add device ID.
I am adding a few screen shots for reference. enter image description here
