Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 27 ## Application setup
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 28
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 29 To configure the example application, please:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 30
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 31 1. [Select the connection type](#connection-type).
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 32 1. [Set the client credentials](#client-credentials).
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 33 1. [Change 6LoWPAN ND & Thread settings](#6lowpan-nd-and-thread-settings).
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 34 1. [Change Ethernet settings](#ethernet-settings).
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 35 1. [Change Wi-Fi settings](#wi-fi-settings).

Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 38
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 39 ### Connection type
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 40
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 41 The application uses Ethernet as the default connection type. To change the connection type, set one of them in `mbed_app.json`. For example, to enable 6LoWPAN ND mode:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 42
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 43 ```json
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 44 "network-interface": {
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 45 "help": "options are ETHERNET,WIFI,MESH_LOWPAN_ND,MESH_THREAD.",
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 46 "value": "MESH_LOWPAN_ND"
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 47 }
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 48 ```
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 49
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 50 ### Client credentials
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 51
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 52 To register the application to the Connector service, you need to create and set the client side certificate.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 53
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 54 1. Go to [mbed Device Connector](https://connector.mbed.com) and log in with your mbed account.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 55 1. On mbed Device Connector, go to [My Devices > Security credentials](https://connector.mbed.com/#credentials) and click the **Get my device security credentials** button to get new credentials for your device.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 56 1. Replace the contents in `security.h` of this project's directory with content copied above.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 57
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 58 ### 6LoWPAN ND and Thread settings
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 59
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 60 First you need to select the RF driver to be used by 6LoWPAN/Thread stack.
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 61
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 62 For example Atmel AT86RF233/212B driver is located in https://github.com/ARMmbed/atmel-rf-driver
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 63
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 64 To add that driver to you application from command line, call: `mbed add https://github.com/ARMmbed/atmel-rf-driver`
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 65
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 66 Then you need to enable the IPV6 functionality as the 6LoWPAN and Thread are part of IPv6 stack. Edit the `mbed_app.json` file to add `IPV6` feature:
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 67
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 68 ```
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 69 "target.features_add": ["CLIENT", "IPV6", "COMMON_PAL"],
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 70 ```
Yogesh Pande 1:e06e899acba6 71
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 72 6LoWPAN ND and Thread use IPv6 for connectivity. Therefore, you need to verify first that you have a working IPv6 connection. To do that, ping the Connector IPv6 address `2607:f0d0:2601:52::20` from your network.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 73
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 74 **NOTE:** If you are using [k64f-border-router](https://github.com/ARMmbed/k64f-border-router) (which can be used only as a 6LoWPAN BR and only with FRDM-K64F), you need to enable another security feature. By default, k64f-border-router uses `PSK` as security. You can either enable security here on your mbed-os-example-client application, e.g.,
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 75
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 76 ```json
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 77 "target_overrides": {
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 78 "*": {
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 79 "mbed-mesh-api.6lowpan-nd-security-mode": "PSK",
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 80 }
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 81 }
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 82 ```
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 83 or you can remove link layer security from k64f-border-router. For doing that, change the [mbed_app.json](https://github.com/ARMmbed/k64f-border-router/blob/master/mbed_app.json) fetched from k64f-border-router repository, e.g.,
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 84
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 85 ```json
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 86 "config": {
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 87 "security-mode": "NONE",
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 88 }
mbed_official 6:8fff223f3f84 89 ```
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 90 #### mbed gateway
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 91
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 92 To connect the example application in 6LoWPAN ND or Thread mode to Connector, you need to set up an mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router as follows:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 93
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 94 1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router to the internet.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 95 2. Use a micro-USB cable to connect the mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router to your computer. The computer will list the router as removable storage.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 96 3. The firmware for the gateway is located in the `GW_Binary` folder in the root of this example. Select the binary matching your application bootstrap mode:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 97
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 98 * For the **6LoWPAN ND** bootstrap, use `gateway6LoWPANDynamic.bin`.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 99 * For the **Thread** bootstrap, use `gatewayThreadDynamic.bin`.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 100
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 101 The dynamic binaries use IPv6 autoconfiguration and enable the client to connect to the Connector service. The static binaries create a site-local IPv6 network and packets cannot be routed outside.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 102
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 103 4. Copy the gateway binary file to the mbed 6LoWPAN gateway router to flash the device. The device reboots automatically after flashing. If that does not happen, press the **Reset** button on the board.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 104
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 105 You can view debug traces from the gateway with a serial port monitor. The gateway uses baud rate 460800. The gateway IPv6 address is correctly configured when the following trace is visible: `Eth bootstrap ready, IP=XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX:XXXX`.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 106
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 107 #### Channel settings
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 108
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 109 The default 2.4GHz channel settings are already defined by the [mbed-mesh-api](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-mesh-api) to match the mbed gateway settings. The application can override these settings by adding them to the `mbed_app.json` file in the main project directory. For example:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 110
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 111 ```json
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 112 "target_overrides": {
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 113 "*": {
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 114 "mbed-mesh-api.6lowpan-nd-channel-page": 0,
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 115 "mbed-mesh-api.6lowpan-nd-channel": 12,
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 116 "mbed-mesh-api.thread-config-channel-page": 0,
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 117 "mbed-mesh-api.thread-config-channel": 12
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 118 }
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 119 }
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 120 ```
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 121
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 122 For sub-GHz shields (AT86RF212B) use the following overrides, **6LoWPAN ND only**:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 123
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 124 ```json
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 125 "mbed-mesh-api.6lowpan-nd-channel-page": 2,
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 126 "mbed-mesh-api.6lowpan-nd-channel": 1
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 127 ```
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 128
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 129 For more information about the radio shields, see [the related documentation](docs/radio_module_identify.md). All the configurable settings can be found in the `mbed-os-example-client/mbed-os/features/FEATURE_IPV6/mbed-mesh-api/mbed_lib.json` file.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 130
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 131 #### Thread-specific settings
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 132
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 133 With Thread, you can change the operating mode of the client from the default router mode to a sleepy end device by adding the following override to the `mbed_app.json` file:
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 134
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 135 ```json
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 136 "mbed-mesh-api.thread-device-type": "MESH_DEVICE_TYPE_THREAD_SLEEPY_END_DEVICE"
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 137 ```
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 138
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 139 ### Ethernet settings

Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 173
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 174 ### IP address setup
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 175
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 176 This example uses IPv4 to communicate with the [mbed Device Connector Server](https://api.connector.mbed.com) except for 6LoWPAN ND and Thread. The example program should automatically get an IPv4 address from the router when connected over Ethernet.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 177
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 178 If your network does not have DHCP enabled, you have to manually assign a static IP address to the board. We recommend having DHCP enabled to make everything run smoothly.
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 179
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 180 ### Changing socket type
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 181
Yogesh Pande 0:7d5ec759888b 182 Your device can connect to mbed Device Connector via UDP or TCP binding mode. The default is UDP. The binding mode cannot be changed in 6LoWPAN ND or Thread mode.
