CoAP client

Overview

This sample is a simple CoAP client showing how to retrieve information from a resource.

This demo assumes that the platform of choice has networking support, some adjustments to the configuration may be needed.

This sample will make a GET request with path ‘test’ to the IPv6 multicast address reserved for CoAP nodes, so the URI can be represented as:

coap://[ff02::fd]:5683/test

Building and Running

This project will print all the octets of the response received, more context can be obtained by using a tool such as tcpdump or wireshark.

See the net-tools project for more details.

This sample can be built and executed on QEMU or native_posix board as described in Networking with the host system.
