alexstanoev 6b78ee9a4e MQTT: Validate broker IP and escape quotes when displaying
This commit implements address validation for the broker address in the
MQTT configuration page. Additionally, the Type ID, Org ID, Auth Token,
Command Type and Event Type ID fields have quotes escaped (" -> ")
to prevent XSS issues when displaying user-sourced input.

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
  • 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 all CC26xx-based boards: i) The SensorTag 2.0 and ii) The Srf06EB with a CC26xx or CC13xx EM mounted on it.

To change between target boards, follow the instructions in the platform's REDME file. Do not forget to make clean when switching between the boards.

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.

6lbr

CoAP Server

For this functionality to work, you will need to install the Copper (Cu) 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.

CoAP Resources

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:

A SensorTag on IBM Quickstart

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.

Sensor Readings Configuration

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
  • 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.
