.. zephyr:code-sample:: aws-iot-mqtt :name: AWS IoT Core MQTT :relevant-api: bsd_sockets mqtt_socket dns_resolve tls_credentials json sntp random_api Connect to AWS IoT Core and publish messages using MQTT. Overview ******** This sample application demonstrates the implementation of an MQTT client that can publish messages to AWS IoT Core using the MQTT protocol. Key features include: - Acquiring a DHCPv4 lease - Connecting to an SNTP server to obtain the current time - Establishing a TLS 1.2 connection with AWS IoT Core servers - Subscribing to a topic on AWS IoT Core - Publishing data to AWS IoT Core - Passing the AWS Device Qualification Program (DQP) test suite: `Device Qualification Program (DQP) `_ - Sending and receiving keep-alive pings - Retrying connections using an exponential backoff algorithm Requirements ************ - An entropy source - An AWS account with access to AWS IoT Core - AWS credentials and necessary information - Network connectivity Building and Running ******************** This application has been built and tested on the ST NUCLEO-F429ZI board and QEMU x86 target. A valid certificate and private key are required to authenticate to the AWS IoT Core. The sample includes a script to convert the certificate and private key in order to embed them in the application. Register a *thing* in AWS IoT Core and download the certificate and private key. Copy these files to the :zephyr_file:`samples/net/cloud/aws_iot_mqtt/src/creds` directory. Run the :zephyr_file:`samples/net/cloud/aws_iot_mqtt/src/creds/convert_keys.py` script, which will generate files ``ca.c``, ``cert.c`` and ``key.c``. To configure the sample, set the following Kconfig options based on your AWS IoT Core region, thing, and device advisor configuration: - :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_AWS_ENDPOINT`: The AWS IoT Core broker endpoint, found in the AWS IoT Core console. This will be specific if running a test suite using device advisor. - :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_AWS_MQTT_PORT`: Port number for AWS IoT Core MQTT broker. - :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_AWS_THING_NAME`: The name of the thing created in AWS IoT Core. Associated with the certificate it will be used as the client id. We will use ``zephyr_sample`` in this example. - :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_AWS_SUBSCRIBE_TOPIC`: The topic to subscribe to. - :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_AWS_PUBLISH_TOPIC`: The topic to publish to. - :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_AWS_QOS`: The QoS level for subscriptions and publications. - :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_AWS_EXPONENTIAL_BACKOFF`: Enable the exponential backoff algorithm. Refer to the `AWS IoT Core Documentation `_ for more information. Additionnaly, it is possible to tune the firmware to pass the AWS DQP test suite, to do set Kconfig option :kconfig:option:`CONFIG_AWS_TEST_SUITE_DQP` to ``y``. More information about the AWS device advisor can be found here: `AWS IoT Core Device Advisor `_. MQTT test client ================ Access the MQTT test client in the AWS IoT Core console, subscribe to the ``zephyr_sample/data`` topic, and publish a payload to the ``zephyr_sample/downlink`` topic. The device console will display the payload received by your device, and the AWS console will show the JSON message sent by the device under the ``zephyr_sample/data`` topic. Sample output ============= This is the output from the ST-Link UART on the NUCLEO-F429ZI board. .. code-block:: console *** Booting Zephyr OS build zephyr-v3.3.0 *** [00:00:01.626,000] aws: starting DHCPv4 [00:00:01.969,000] aws: sntp_sync_time: Acquired time from NTP server: 1683472436 [00:00:01.977,000] aws: Resolved: 52.212.60.110:8883 [00:00:03.327,000] aws: mqtt_event_cb: MQTT event: CONNACK [0] result: 0 [00:00:03.327,000] aws: Subscribing to 1 topic(s) [00:00:03.390,000] aws: mqtt_event_cb: MQTT event: SUBACK [7] result: 0 [00:00:03.390,000] aws: PUBLISHED on topic "zephyr_sample/data" [ id: 1 qos: 0 ], payload: 13 B [00:00:03.390,000] aws: publish_message: Published payload: 7b 22 63 6f 75 6e 74 65 72 22 3a 30 7d |{"counte r":0} [00:00:11.856,000] aws: mqtt_event_cb: MQTT event: PUBLISH [2] result: 0 [00:00:11.856,000] aws: RECEIVED on topic "zephyr_sample/downlink" [ id: 13 qos: 0 ] payload: 45 / 4096 B [00:00:11.856,000] aws: handle_published_message: Received payload: 7b 0a 20 20 22 6d 65 73 73 61 67 65 22 3a 20 22 |{.
