<> 0:eb73febb2bba 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:eb73febb2bba 35
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 36 To configure the example application, please:
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 37
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 38 1. [Select the connection type](#connection-type).
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 39 1. [Set the client credentials](#client-credentials).
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 40 1. [Change Ethernet settings](#ethernet-settings).

<> 0:eb73febb2bba 44
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 45 ### Connection type
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 46
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 47 The application uses "NO_CONNECT" as the default connection type. To change the connection type, set one of them in `mbed_app.json`. For example, to enable Ethernet mode:
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 48
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 49 ```json
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 50 "network-interface":{
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 51 "help": "Options are ETHERNET, WIFI_ESP8266, WIFI_BP3595, NO_CONNECT",
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 52 "value": "ETHERNET"
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 53 },
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 54 ```
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 55
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 56 ### Client credentials
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 57
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 58 To register the application to the Connector service, you need to create and set the client side certificate.
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 59
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 60 1. Go to [mbed Device Connector](https://connector.mbed.com) and log in with your mbed account.
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 61 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.
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 62 1. Replace the contents in `security.h` of this project's directory with content copied above.
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 63
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 64 ### Ethernet settings
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 65
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 66 For running the example application using Ethernet, you need:
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 67
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 68 - An Ethernet cable.
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 69 - An Ethernet connection to the internet.
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 70 - MAC address setting. To set MAC address, add fllowing function to main.cpp. (When using Wifi, setting of MAC address is not necessary.)
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 71 ```
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 72 // set mac address
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 73 void mbed_mac_address(char *mac) {
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 74 mac[0] = 0x00;
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 75 mac[1] = 0x02;
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 76 mac[2] = 0xF7;
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 77 mac[3] = 0xF0;
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 78 mac[4] = 0x00;
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 79 mac[5] = 0x00;
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 80 }
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 81 ```
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 82
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 83 ### Wi-Fi settings (BP3595)
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 84
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 85 The example application uses BP3595 WiFi Interface for managing the wireless connectivity. To run this application using WiFi, you need:
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 86
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 87 1. An [BP3595](https://developer.mbed.org/components/BP3595-for-GR-PEACH/) WiFi module
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 88 1. Mount the WiFi module onto [Renesas GR-PEACH](https://developer.mbed.org/platforms/Renesas-GR-PEACH/)
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 89 1. In the `mbed_app.json` file, change
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 90 ```json
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 91 "network-interface":{
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 92 "help": "Options are ETHERNET, WIFI_ESP8266, WIFI_BP3595, NO_CONNECT",

dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 94 },
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 95 ```
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 96
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 97 Provide your WiFi SSID and password here and leave `\"` in the beginning and end of your SSID and password (as shown in the example below). Otherwise, the example cannot pick up the SSID and password in correct format.
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 98 ```json
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 99 "wifi-ssid": {
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 100 "help": "WiFi SSID",

<> 0:eb73febb2bba 108
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 109 Specify the security protocol in accordance with your wireless network. By default, NSAPI_SECURITY_WPA_WPA2 is specified. That means WPA and WPA2 are available. If you would like to use WEP instead of WPA2, please specify NSAPI_SECURITY_WEP here.

<> 0:eb73febb2bba 121 ### IP address setup
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 122
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 123 This example uses IPv4 to communicate with the [mbed Device Connector Server](https://api.connector.mbed.com) except for 6LoWPAN ND and Thread.
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 124 The example program should automatically get an IP address from the router when connected over Ethernet or WiFi.
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 125 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.
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 126
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 127 ### Changing socket type
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 128
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 129 Your device can connect to mbed Device Connector via UDP or TCP binding mode. The default and only allowed value is UDP for Thread and 6LoWPAN. TCP is the default for other connections. The binding mode cannot be changed in 6LoWPAN ND or Thread mode.
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 130
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 131 To change the binding mode:
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 132
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 133 1. In the `simpleclient.h` file, find the parameter `SOCKET_MODE`. The default is `M2MInterface::UDP` for mesh and `M2MInterface::TCP` for others.
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 134 1. To switch to UDP, change it to `M2MInterface::UDP`.
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 135 1. Rebuild and flash the application.
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 136
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 137 <span class="tips">**Tip:** The instructions in this document remain the same, irrespective of the socket mode you select.</span>
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 138
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 139 Possible socket types per connection:
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 140
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 141 | Network interface | UDP | TCP |

<> 0:eb73febb2bba 149 ## Building the example
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 150
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 151 To build the example using mbed CLI:
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 152
<> 0:eb73febb2bba 153 1. Open a command line tool and navigate to the project’s directory.
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 154
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 155 2. Import this example:
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 156
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 157 ```
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 158 mbed import http://mbed.org/teams/Renesas/code/GR-PEACH_mbed-os-client-ZXingSample/
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 159 ```
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 160
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 161 3. To build the application, select the hardware board and build the toolchain using the command:
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 162
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 163 ```
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 164 mbed compile -m RZ_A1H -t GCC_ARM -c
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 165 ```
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 166
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 167 mbed CLI builds a binary file under the project’s `BUILD/` directory.
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 168
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 169 4. Plug the Ethernet cable into the board if you are using Ethernet mode.
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 170
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 171 5. Plug the micro-USB cable into the **OpenSDA** port. The board is listed as a mass-storage device.
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 172
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 173 6. Drag the binary `BUILD/RZ_A1H/GCC_ARM/GR-PEACH_mbed-os-client-ZXingSample.bin` to the board to flash the application.
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 174
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 175 7. The board is automatically programmed with the new binary. A flashing LED on it indicates that it is still working. When the LED stops blinking, the board is ready to work.
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 176
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 177 8. Press the **Reset** button on the board to run the program.
dkato 2:6ec5c1c1d41c 178
