CC26xx Web Demo Readme
|
|
======================
|
|
This demo project combines a number of web-based applications aiming to
|
|
demonstrate the CC26xx capability. The applications are:
|
|
|
|
* A network-based UART
|
|
* A client for [6lbr](http://cetic.github.io/6lbr/)
|
|
* A CoAP server
|
|
* An MQTT client
|
|
* A web server which can be used to display sensor readings but also to
|
|
configure MQTT functionality
|
|
|
|
The example has been configured to run for both CC26xx-based boards: i) The
|
|
SensorTag 2.0 and ii) The Srf06EB with a CC26xx EM mounted on it.
|
|
|
|
To build the example for the Srf, simply run `make`. To build for the tag,
|
|
run `make BOARD=sensortag`. Do not forget to `make clean` when switching
|
|
between the two platforms.
|
|
|
|
You can disable some of those individual components by changing the respective
|
|
defines in `project-conf.h`. For instance, to disable the CoAP functionality,
|
|
set `#define CC26XX_WEB_DEMO_CONF_COAP_SERVER 0`. The web server cannot be
|
|
disabled, all other aforementioned applications can.
|
|
|
|
Network UART (net-uart)
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
This example only makes sense if you are using the Srf or if you have taken
|
|
the sensortag out of its case and you have it connected over JTAG to the Srf.
|
|
|
|
The net-uart does two things:
|
|
|
|
* When you type a string to the UART console, the string will be sent verbatim
|
|
to a remote UDP port 7777 listener. This can be for example a netcat listener
|
|
on a linux or OS X PC:
|
|
`nc -6ulkw 1 7777`
|
|
* The net-uart also listens to UDP port 7777 and when it receives a string over
|
|
UDP, it will print it verbatim over UART.
|
|
|
|
The example will initially send packets to a hard-coded IPv6 address. This can
|
|
be changed very easily by entering a different IPv6 address to the console.
|
|
Thus, when the serial input string is an IPv6 address, it will not be sent as
|
|
any other string would, but instead it will configure the example to send to a
|
|
different remote address. This new IPv6 address is not persistent across
|
|
device reboots.
|
|
|
|
6lbr Client
|
|
-----------
|
|
This will periodically send a UDP packet to your 6lbr, containing network
|
|
information, which will be used by 6lbr to construct a network graph. To see
|
|
this in action, fire up a browser and navigate to the 6lbr web page. The
|
|
default address is http://[bbbb::100]. Once the page loads, click the 'sensors'
|
|
tab, as per the image below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CoAP Server
|
|
-----------
|
|
For this functionality to work, you will need to install the
|
|
[Copper (Cu)](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copper-270430/)
|
|
addon to your browser.
|
|
|
|
From the sensors tab in the 6lbr web page, click the 'coap' link in the line
|
|
corresponding to your CC26xx device. Once the addon fires up, select
|
|
".well-known/core" in the left pane and then hit the 'Get' button at the top.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Device will respond with a list of all available CoAP resources. This list
|
|
will be different between the Srf and the SensorTag. The screenshot below shows
|
|
a (partial) list of resources exported by the SensorTag CoAP server. Select
|
|
a resource on the left pane and hit 'Get' to retrieve its value. Select
|
|
`lt/g` and hit 'Post' to toggle the green LED, `lt/r` for the red one.
|
|
|
|
You can also use CoAP to enable/disable BLE advertisements! Select
|
|
`dev/ble_advd` and then hit the "Outgoing" button in the payload panel. Type in
|
|
the desired payload, which can be:
|
|
|
|
* `mode=on|off`
|
|
* `name=<name>`
|
|
* `interval=<secs>`
|
|
|
|
or a combination of both delimited with an amp. For example, you can set as
|
|
payload `mode=on&name=My CC26xx Device 4&interval=5`. Once you have set the
|
|
payload, hit either the POST or PUT button.
|
|
|
|
Bear in mind that you must set `name` at least once before enabling BLE
|
|
advertisements. If you fail to do so, the RF will refuse to enter BLE mode and
|
|
the CoAP engine will return 4.03 forbidden. The values of `name` and `interval`
|
|
persist across BLE on/off cycles, so you only have to set them once. The values
|
|
do _not_ persist through device powercycles.
|
|
|
|
HTTPD
|
|
-----
|
|
Back on the 6lbr page, hit the 'web' link corresponding to your device. This
|
|
will take you to a web page served by the CC26xx. The HTTPD serves two pages:
|
|
|
|
* index.html: Provides sensor readings and network information
|
|
* config.html: Can be used to configure the MQTT client (more below)
|
|
|
|
In the navigation bar at the top there is also a third link, which will take
|
|
you directly to your device's page on IBM's quickstart service.
|
|
|
|
IBM Quickstart / MQTT Client
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
The MQTT client can be used to:
|
|
|
|
* Publish sensor readings to an MQTT broker.
|
|
* Subscribe to a topic and as a result receive commands from an MQTT broker
|
|
|
|
The device will try to connect to IBM's quickstart over NAT64, so you will
|
|
need a NAT64 gateway in your network to make this work. A guide on how to
|
|
setup NAT64 is out of scope here. If this is not an option for you, you can
|
|
configure the device to publish to a local MQTT broker over end-to-end IPv6.
|
|
See below on how to change the destination broker's address.
|
|
|
|
By default the device will publish readings to IBM's quickstart service. The
|
|
publish messages include sensor readings but also some other information such
|
|
as device uptime in seconds and a message sequence number. Click the "IBM
|
|
Quickstart" link in the web page to go directly to your device's page
|
|
on Quickstart. After a few seconds, you will see something like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sensor readings are only published if they have changed since the previous
|
|
reading (BatMon is an exception and always gets published). Additionally, you
|
|
can turn on/off individual readings from the config.html web page, as per the
|
|
figure below.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Some of the MQTT client functionality can be configured even further:
|
|
|
|
* You can change the broker IP and port. This is useful if you want to use your
|
|
own MQTT broker instead of IBM's quickstart. The example has been tested
|
|
successfully with [mosquitto](http://mosquitto.org/)
|
|
* You can change the publish interval. Recommended values are 10secs or higher.
|
|
You will not be allowed to set this to anything less than 5 seconds.
|
|
* If you want to use IBM's cloud service with a registered device, change
|
|
'Org ID' and provide an 'Auth Token', which acts as a 'password', but bear in
|
|
mind that it gets transported in clear text, both over the web configuration
|
|
page as well as inside MQTT messages.
|
|
* The remaining configuration options are related to the content of MQTT
|
|
messages and in general you won't have to modify them.
|
|
|
|
For the SensorTag, changes to the MQTT configuration get saved in external
|
|
flash and persist across device restarts. The same does not hold true for
|
|
Srf+EM builds.
|
|
|
|
You can also subscribe to topics and receive commands, but this will only
|
|
work if you use "Org ID" != 'quickstart'. Thus, if you provide a different
|
|
Org ID (do not forget the auth token!), the device will subscribe to:
|
|
|
|
`iot-2/cmd/+/fmt/json`
|
|
|
|
You can then use this to toggle LEDs or to turn the buzzer on and off.
|
|
The buzzer is only available on the SensorTag. To do this, you can for example
|
|
use mosquitto client to publish to `iot-2/cmd/leds/fmt/json`. So, to turn
|
|
the buzzer on, you would do this:
|
|
|
|
`mosquitto_pub -h <broker IP> -m "1" -t iot-2/cmd/buzz/fmt/json`
|
|
|
|
Where `broker IP` should be replaced with the IP address of your mosquitto
|
|
broker (the one where you device has subscribed). Replace `-m "1'` with `-m "0"`
|
|
to turn the buzzer back off. Replace `buzz` with `leds` in the topic to change
|
|
the state of the LED.
|
|
|
|
Bear in mind that, even though the topic suggests that messages are of json
|
|
format, they are in fact not. This was done in order to avoid linking a json
|
|
parser into the firmware.
