Yogesh Pande |
0:7d5ec759888b | 2 | |
Yogesh Pande |
0:7d5ec759888b | 3 | This is the mbed Client example for mbed OS (we also have one for [Linux](https://github.com/ARMmbed/mbed-client-linux-example)). It demonstrates how to register a device with mbed Device Connector, how to read and write values, and how to deregister. If you are unfamiliar with mbed Device Connector, we recommend that you read [the introduction to the data model](https://docs.mbed.com/docs/mbed-device-connector-web-interfaces/en/latest/#the-mbed-device-connector-data-model) first. |

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 | 37 | 1. [Change the socket type](#changing-socket-type). This step is optional. |
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 | ``` |

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 | 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 |

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 |
