J61 Open
  • AWS IoT Core setup
  1. To run this sample, you need to create an account on Amazon Web Services: https://aws.amazon.com/

  2. Once your account is created, sign in to AWS console as root user: https://aws.amazon.com/

  1. After signing in to AWS console, in the search bar, search for "IoT core" and open it
  1. Create a thing name "zephyr_sample", add certificate and policy for it.

Important: After press "Create thing" you will be asked to download the Certificates and Keys, check and download Device Cerificate, Public key and Private key.

  • Setup, Build and Verify sanmple application
  1. Copy the downloaded the certificates and keys file in step 4 to "zephyr/samples/net/cloud/aws_iot_mqtt/src/creds" and execute "zephyr/samples/net/cloud/aws_iot_mqtt/src/creds/convert_keys.py", it will help to generate the key in form of C code for the sample.

  2. Modify "CONFIG_AWS_ENDPOINT" config in "zephyr/samples/net/cloud/aws_iot_mqtt/src/prj.conf" to your AWS account End point (it can be check in IoT Core console -> Settings)

  1. Build and Flash application to board.

    cd ~/zephyrproject/zephyr

    west build -b ek_ra8m1 -p always samples/net/cloud/aws_iot_mqtt/

    west flash

  2. Verify result using "MQTT test client" on AWS IoT console.

  • The sample is created to Publish a message to topic "zephyr_sample/data" and Subscribe to topic "zephyr_sample/downlink". On AWS IoT console "MQTT test client" we can Subcribe to topic "zephyr_sample/data" to verify message sent from board and publish a message to topic "zephyr_sample/downlink" to send a message to the board

Result:

  • For each message MQTT test client send to top "zephyr_sample/downlink" board will response with a message to "zephyr_sample/data":
  • Log show on board console:
