Changes

  • Instead, certificates can be written to modem when the LWM2M_CARRIER_EVENT_INIT event is received, before attaching to the network.

  • List of certificates is no longer supplied to the lwm2m_carrier_init() function. LwM2M carrier library will instead iterate through all CA certificates in the modem.

  • Added the Kconfig option CONFIG_LWM2M_CARRIER_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT.

  • Removed some runtime resource _set() functions. The resources are static and therefore added to library initialization instead.

  • Added new initialization configurations to set the static device object resources:

  • The LwM2M carrier library now requests the application to handle the LTE link, instead of handling the link on its own.

  • Renamed the error LWM2M_CARRIER_ERROR_CONNECT_FAIL to LWM2M_CARRIER_ERROR_LTE_LINK_UP_FAIL.

  • Renamed the error LWM2M_CARRIER_ERROR_DISCONNECT_FAIL to LWM2M_CARRIER_ERROR_LTE_LINK_DOWN_FAIL.

  • Removed the event LWM2M_CARRIER_EVENT_LTE_READY. The event was intended to help the user application coexist with the library, but it was not useful.

    • Action to bring up and down the link are requested using the new LWM2M_CARRIER_EVENT_LTE_LINK_UP and LWM2M_CARRIER_EVENT_LTE_LINK_DOWN events. The application can therefore perform housekeeping at these events if needed.

    • Even when the LWM2M_CARRIER_EVENT_LTE_READY event was sent to the application, the carrier library could still disconnect the link to write keys to the modem after a while in some cases.

    • Any application must handle untimely disconnects anyway, because of factors such as signal coverage, making the LWM2M_CARRIER_EVENT_LTE_READY event redundant.

  • NVS records are no longer statically defined by a devicetree partition. Instead, the Partition Manager is used to define flash partition dynamically.

    • To use the legacy NVS partition, you can add a pm_static.yml file to your project with the following content:

      lwm2m_carrier:
  address: 0xfa000
  size: 0x3000
free:
  address: 0xfd000
  size: 0x3000

      This is strongly encouraged if you are updating deployed devices, to make sure that the persistent configuration of the library is preserved across the versions. The address of the previous storage can be confirmed by checking the build/zephyr/zephyr.dts file in your old project.

Changes

  • Added a new event LWM2M_CARRIER_DEFERRED_SIM_MSISDN.

    • This event can trigger on devices with a new SIM card that has not been registered on the network yet. (Therefore, it has not received the phone number needed for device management).

  • Removed dependency on the deprecated AT command and AT notification libraries from the glue layer.

  • Added dependency on the AT monitor library in the glue layer.

  • Changed the lwm2m_os_lte_link_up() function to perform an asynchronous connect.

  • Removed the following unused functions from the glue layer: lwm2m_os_sec_ca_chain_exists(), lwm2m_os_sec_ca_chain_cmp(), lwm2m_os_sec_ca_chain_write().

Release for modem firmware version 1.3.0.

Certification status

For certification status, see Mobile network operator certifications.

Changes

  • CA certificates are no longer provided by the LwM2M carrier library.

    • Application is now expected to store CA certificates into the modem security tags.

    • Added a new event LWM2M_CARRIER_EVENT_CERTS_INIT that instructs the application to provide the CA certificate security tags to the LwM2M carrier library.

  • Renamed the event LWM2M_CARRIER_BSDLIB_INIT to LWM2M_CARRIER_EVENT_MODEM_INIT.

  • Added a new deferred event reason LWM2M_CARRIER_DEFERRED_SERVICE_UNAVAILABLE, which indicates that the LwM2M server is unavailable due to maintenance.

  • Added a new error code LWM2M_CARRIER_ERROR_CONFIGURATION which indicates that an illegal object configuration was detected.

  • Added new Kconfig options CONFIG_LWM2M_CARRIER_USE_CUSTOM_APN and CONFIG_LWM2M_CARRIER_CUSTOM_APN to set the apn member of lwm2m_carrier_config_t.

  • It is now possible to configure a custom bootstrap URI using CONFIG_LWM2M_CARRIER_USE_CUSTOM_BOOTSTRAP_URI regardless of operator SIM.

liblwm2m_carrier 0.8.0

Release for modem firmware version 1.1.0 and nRF Connect SDK v1.1.0, with support for Verizon Wireless.

Certification status

The library is not certified with Verizon Wireless.

Changes

  • Abstracted several new functions in the glue layer to improve compatibility on top of the master branch.

  • Reorganized NVS keys usage to make it range-bound (0xCA00, 0xCAFF). This range is not backward compatible, so you should not rely on pre-existing information saved in flash by earlier versions of this library.

  • Added APIs to set the following values from the application:

    • Available Power Sources

    • Power Source Voltage

    • Power Source Current

    • Battery Level

    • Battery Status

    • Memory Total

    • Error Code

    The application must set and maintain these values to reflect the state of the device. Updated values are pushed to the servers autonomously.

  • Added API to set the “Device Type” resource. If not set, this is reported as “Smart Device”.

  • Added API to set the “Software Version” resource. If not set, this is reported as “LwM2M 0.8.0”.

  • Added API to set the “Hardware Version” resource. If not set, this is reported as “1.0”.

Known issues and limitations

  • It is not possible to use a DTLS connection in parallel with the library.

  • It is not possible to use a TLS connection in parallel with LwM2M-managed modem firmware updates. The application should close any TLS connections when it receives the LWM2M_CARRIER_EVENT_FOTA_START event from the library.

liblwm2m_carrier 0.6.0

Initial public release for modem firmware version 1.0.1. This release is intended to let users begin the integration on the Verizon Wireless device management platform and start the certification process with Verizon Wireless. We recommend upgrading to the next release when it becomes available. The testing performed on this release does not meet Nordic standard for mass production release testing.

Known issues and limitations

  • It is not possible to use a DTLS connection in parallel with the library.

  • It is not possible to use a TLS connection in parallel with LwM2M-managed modem firmware updates. The application should close any TLS connections when it receives the LWM2M_CARRIER_EVENT_FOTA_START event from the library.

  • The API to query the application for resource values is not implemented yet.

    • The “Available Power Sources” resource is reported as “DC power (0)” and “External Battery (2)”.

    • The following resources are reported to have value “0” (zero):

      • Power Source Voltage, Power Source Current, Battery Level, Battery Status, Memory Free, Memory Total, Error Code.

    • The “Device Type” resource is reported as “Smart Device”.

    • The “Software Version” resource is reported as “LwM2M 0.6.0”.

    • The “Hardware Version” is reported as “1.0”.

  • The following values are reported as dummy values instead of being fetched from the modem:

    • “IP address”, reported as 192.168.0.0.

  • The “Current Time” and “Timezone” resources do not respect write operations, instead, read operations on these resources will return the current time and timezone as kept by the nRF9160 modem.
