AWS IoT device SDK Demo Application
===================================
Demo application to connect devices to AWS IoT.
This application monitors the CPU temperature and load and allows to remotely
switch on/off a device LED.
The demo uploads the device Thing Shadow every minute or when the difference
between the current value of temperature or load and the last reported is bigger
than a configured value (1C for temperature and 10% for CPU load).
The repository has the following directories:
* cfg_files: demo configuration file
* src: application source code
Configuring the application
---------------------------
Before launching the application, you must configure it by editing its
configuration file. By default, this file is `/etc/awsiotsdk.conf` but the
option `-c` allows the selection of another one.
You must configure:
* `thig_name`: Thing Name of the Shadow this device is associated with.
* `host`: Customer specific MQTT HOST.
This is your custom endpoint that allows your device to connect to AWS IoT.
You can obtain it in your 'AWS IoT Console'.
* The certificate settings:
* `certs_path`: Absolute path to the certificates directory in the device.
* `rootca_filename`: Name of the Root CA file in the configured
`certs_path`.
* `signed_cert_filename`: Name of the device signed certificate file in
the configured `certs_path`.
* `private_key_filename`: Name of the device private key file in the
configured `certs_path`.
* Optionally, any other value in the configuration file.
Running the application
-----------------------
Once the settings are properly configured, launch the application:
```
#> awsiot-sample
```
You can specify the configuration file with `-c`:
```
#> awsiot-sample -c <absolute_path_to_configuration_file>
```
* The application reports its status to the topic
`$aws/things/<thing_name>/shadow/update`. Something similar to:
```
{
"state" : {
"reported" : {
"temperature" : 45.971,
"cpuLoad" : 4.504505,
"ledON" : false
}
},
"clientToken" : "<thing_name>-3"
}
```
* To switch on the configured LED send to the topic
`$aws/things/<thing_name>/shadow/update`:
```
{
"state" : {
"desired" : {
"ledON" : true
}
}
}
```
* To switch off the configured LED send to the topic
`$aws/things/<thing_name>/shadow/update`:
```
{
"state" : {
"desired" : {
"ledON" : false
}
}
}
```
Compiling the application
-------------------------
This demo can be compiled using a Digi Embedded Yocto based toolchain. Make
sure to source the corresponding toolchain of the platform you want to build
the connector for, e.g:
```
$> . <DEY-toolchain-path>/environment-setup-cortexa7hf-vfp-neon-dey-linux-gnueabi
$> make
```
