This example is based on the LWM2M sample that comes with the Zephyr distribution, modified to include a random temperature generation for testing purposes. Further, it's mainly tested on a BLE Nano 2 Kit together with DTLS and IPv6 using the included 'overlay-dtls.conf' and 'overlay-bt.conf' configuration files. For more information (including setup), please visit the official LWM2M documentation page on the Zephyr project.
Lightweight Machine to Machine (LwM2M) is an application layer protocol based on CoAP/UDP, and is designed to expose various resources for reading, writing and executing via an LwM2M server in a very lightweight environment.
This LwM2M client sample application for Zephyr implements the LwM2M library and establishes a connection to an LwM2M server using the Open Mobile Alliance Lightweight Machine to Machine Technical Specification (Section 5.3: Client Registration Interface).
The source code for this sample application can be found at: :file:`samples/net/lwm2m_client`.
- :ref:`networking_with_qemu`
- Linux machine
- Leshan Demo Server (https://eclipse.org/leshan/)
There are configuration files for various setups in the samples/net/lwm2m_client directory:
- :file:`prj.conf` This is the standard default config.
- :file:`overlay-dtls.conf` This overlay config can be added for DTLS support via MBEDTLS.
- :file:`overlay-bt.conf` This overlay config can be added to enable Bluetooth networking support.
Build the lwm2m-client sample application like this:
.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/net/lwm2m_client :board: <board to use> :conf: <config file to use> :goals: build :compact:
The easiest way to setup this sample application is to build and run it via QEMU using the default configuration :file:`prj.conf`. This requires a small amount of setup described in :ref:`networking_with_qemu`.
Download and run the latest build of the Leshan Demo Server:
$ wget https://hudson.eclipse.org/leshan/job/leshan/lastSuccessfulBuild/artifact/leshan-server-demo.jar
$ java -jar ./leshan-server-demo.jar -wp 8080You can now open a web browser to: http://localhost:8080 This is where you can watch and manage connected LwM2M devices.
Build the lwm2m-client sample application for QEMU like this:
.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/net/lwm2m_client :host-os: unix :board: qemu_x86 :goals: run :compact:
The sample will start and automatically connect to the Leshan Demo Server with an IPv6 client endpoint "qemu_x86".
To change the sample to use IPv4, disable IPv6 by changing these two
configurations in prj.conf:
CONFIG_NET_IPV6=n CONFIG_NET_CONFIG_NEED_IPV6=n
To build the lwm2m-client sample for QEMU with DTLS support do the following:
.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/net/lwm2m_client :host-os: unix :board: qemu_x86 :conf: "prj.conf overlay-dtls.conf" :goals: run :compact:
Setup DTLS security in Leshan Demo Server:
- Open up the Leshan Demo Server web UI
- Click on "Security"
- Click on "Add new client security configuration"
- Enter the following data:
- Client endpoint: qemu_x86 Security mode: Pre-Shared Key Identity: Client_identity Key: 000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f
- Start the Zephyr sample
To build the lwm2m-client sample for hardware requiring Bluetooth for networking (IPSP node connected via 6lowpan) do the following:
.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/net/lwm2m_client :host-os: unix :board: <board to use> :conf: "prj.conf overlay-bt.conf" :goals: build :compact:
The overlay-*.conf files can also be combined. For example, you could build a DTLS-enabled LwM2M client sample for BLENano2 hardware by using the following commands (requires Bluetooth for networking):
.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/net/lwm2m_client :host-os: unix :board: nrf52_blenano2 :conf: "prj.conf overlay-bt.conf overlay-dtls.conf" :goals: build :compact:
To build the lwm2m-client sample for use with the WNC-M14A2A LTE-M modem shield do the following:
.. zephyr-app-commands:: :zephyr-app: samples/net/lwm2m_client :host-os: unix :board: <board to use> :conf: "prj.conf overlay-wncm14a2a.conf" :goals: build :compact:
The following is sample output from the QEMU console. First, LwM2M engine is initialized. Then, several LwM2M Smart Objects register themselves with the engine. The sample app then sets some client values so that they can be seen in the Leshan Demo Server interface, and finally, the registration request is sent to the server where the endpoint is initialized.
To exit from QEMU enter: 'CTRL+a, x'
