MQTT-SN Publisher
Overview
MQTT (MQ Telemetry Transport) is a lightweight publish/subscribe messaging protocol optimized for small sensors and mobile devices.
MQTT-SN can be considered as a version of MQTT which is adapted to the peculiarities of a wireless communication environment. While MQTT requires a reliable TCP/IP transport, MQTT-SN is designed to be usable on any datagram-based transport like UDP, ZigBee or even a plain UART (with an additional framing protocol).
The Zephyr MQTT-SN Publisher sample application is a MQTT-SN v1.2 client that sends MQTT-SN PUBLISH messages to a MQTT-SN gateway. It also SUBSCRIBEs to a topic. See the MQTT-SN v1.2 spec for more information.
The source code of this sample application can be found at: samples/net/mqtt_sn_publisher.
Requirements
Linux machine
MQTT-SN gateway, like Eclipse Paho
Mosquitto server: any version that supports MQTT v3.1.1. This sample was tested with mosquitto 1.6.
Mosquitto subscriber
LAN for testing purposes (Ethernet)
Build and Running
Currently, this sample application only supports static IP addresses.
Open the prj.conf file and set the IP addresses according
to the LAN environment.
You will also need to start a MQTT-SN gateway. With paho, you can either build it from source - see PAHO MQTT-SN Gateway - or run an unofficial docker image, like kyberpunk/paho.
On your Linux host computer, open 3 terminal windows. At first, start mosquitto:
$ sudo mosquitto -v -p 1883
Then, in another window, start the gateway, e.g. by using docker:
$ docker run -it -p 10000:10000 -p 10000:10000/udp --name paho -v $PWD/gateway.conf:/etc/paho/gateway.conf:ro kyberpunk/paho
Then, locate your zephyr directory and type:
west build -b native_posix_64 samples/net/mqtt_sn_publisher
west build -t -t
west build -t run
Optionally, use any MQTT explorer to connect to your broker.
