Contiki REST/CoAP Quickstart using Econotags
|
||||
======================================
|
||||
|
||||
Contiki has an implementation of the IETF CORE (Constrained RESTful
|
||||
Environments) working group's CoAP layer (Constrained Application
|
||||
Protocol). CoAP is a RESTful application layer that uses HTTP-like
|
||||
methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to interact with constrained
|
||||
networks. CoAP operates over UDP and supports reliable transmission.
|
||||
|
||||
This tutorial will show you how to run Contiki's CoAP demo on Redwire
|
||||
Econotags using an RPL border-router.
|
||||
|
||||
1) Run a RPL border-router and tunnel
|
||||
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
See [the RPL
|
||||
HOWTO](http://mc1322x.devl.org/repos/contiki-mc1322x/cpu/mc1322x/doc/rpl-tutorial.md)
|
||||
for details about running a RPL border-router.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Build and run the `rest-server-example` on a second Econotag
|
||||
----------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
__The following must be done on the contiki-mc1322x.git tree__
|
||||
|
||||
git clone git://git.devl.org/git/malvira/contiki-mc1322x.git
|
||||
|
||||
__Contiki CVS is currently down and the new SCM system hasn't been set
|
||||
up yet. The necessary changes will be pushed as soon as the new SCM is
|
||||
available. - 6 Februrary 2011__
|
||||
|
||||
To build the rest-server-example:
|
||||
|
||||
cd contiki-mc1322x/examples/rest-example
|
||||
make TARGET=redbee-econotag
|
||||
|
||||
This will produce the binary image
|
||||
`rest-server-example_redbee-econotag.bin`, which you can load directly
|
||||
on to an mc1322x and execute.
|
||||
|
||||
mc1322x-load.pl -f rest-server-example_redbee-econotag.bin -t /dev/ttyUSB3
|
||||
|
||||
Then press the reset button to connect to the bootloader.
|
||||
|
||||
In this example, we are loading the CoAP server on to the econotag on `/dev/ttyUSB3`
|
||||
|
||||
You should see boot up messages similar to this:
|
||||
|
||||
CONNECT
|
||||
Size: 62096 bytes
|
||||
Sending rest-server-example_redbee-econotag.bin
|
||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

||||

|
||||
Tentative global IPv6 address aaaa:0000:0000:0000:0250:c2ab:c000:0023
|
||||
Starting 'Rest Server Example'
|
||||
COAP Server
|
||||
|
||||
The last line indicates that the server will be using
|
||||
COAP. As an alternative, you can build the server to use HTTP instead with:
|
||||
|
||||
make TARGET=redbee-econotag WITH_COAP=0
|
||||
|
||||
3) Download and install the `Copper` Firefox Plugin
|
||||
-----------------------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The `Copper` Plugin for Firefox provides the `coap:` URL access method
|
||||
as well as an interface to easily send `coap` requests.
|
||||
|
||||
Download and install the plugin from here:
|
||||
|
||||
+ [Copper plugin homepage](http://people.inf.ethz.ch/~mkovatsc/)
|
||||
+ Install link:[copper-0.3.0pre2.xpi](http://people.inf.ethz.ch/~mkovatsc/resources/copper/copper-0.3.0pre2.xpi)
|
||||
|
||||
4) Open Copper
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
Open a new Firefox tab and click on the orange CU button in the lower
|
||||
right.
|
||||
|
||||
[](http://mc1322x.devl.org/files/coap-blanktab.png)
|
||||
|
||||
The initial CU screen will look like this:
|
||||
|
||||
[](http://mc1322x.devl.org/files/coap-opencu.png)
|
||||
|
||||
Type in the the URL of the coap node with the default port number of
|
||||
"61616":
|
||||
|
||||
[](http://mc1322x.devl.org/files/coap-url.png)
|
||||
|
||||
+ Don't forget the brackets ( [ ] ) in the URL
|
||||
|
||||
+ Make sure to use the IPv6 address of your coap server. You can get
|
||||
this from the boot up messages or from the webpage served by your
|
||||
border-router.
|
||||
|
||||
+ You must always press Enter after changing the URL.
|
||||
|
||||
5) GET `.well-known/core` resources
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Now click on the red "./well-known/core" button: this changes the URL
|
||||
to the `.well-known/core` resource.
|
||||
|
||||
Then click GET to perform a get. You should see an acknowledgement
|
||||
that the GET was successful (returns 200 OK). The payload should
|
||||
return:
|
||||
|
||||
</helloworld>;n="HelloWorld",</led>;n="LedControl",</light>;n="Light
|
||||
|
||||
Which is are the well-known resources that this node advertises; see
|
||||
the [COAP
|
||||
specification](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-core-coap/)
|
||||
for details.
|
||||
|
||||
[](http://mc1322x.devl.org/files/coap-wellknown.png)
|
||||
|
||||
6) PUT,POST the `led` resource state
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
You can PUT or POST to change the state of the LED.
|
||||
|
||||
Type in the following URL and press enter:
|
||||
|
||||
coap://[aaaa::250:c2ff:fea8:c48e]:61616/led?color=green
|
||||
|
||||
Be sure to use the proper IP address. For this URL: we will perform
|
||||
actions on the `led` resource with a query string of `color=green`.
|
||||
|
||||
In the payload, type:
|
||||
|
||||
mode=on
|
||||
|
||||
That is the payload that will be PUT or POSTed. The COAP server
|
||||
detects the mode string and activates the LED accordingly (with the
|
||||
color chosen by the query string).
|
||||
|
||||
Then click PUT or POST to perform the request.
|
||||
|
||||
[](http://mc1322x.devl.org/files/coap-led.png)
|
||||
|
||||
You should get a successful return code (200 OK) and the green LED
|
||||
should turn on. If you PUT/POST `mode=off` the led will turn off.
|
||||
|
||||
The econotag only has two LEDs: a green and a red. The red LED is used
|
||||
to indicate radio transmission by default and so cannot be used in
|
||||
this demo. The Coniki blue LED is connected to GPIO 43. You can toggle
|
||||
it, but you won't see anything unless you hook something up to this
|
||||
pin.
|
||||
|
||||
7) Other resources
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The `rest-server-example` also provides `helloworld` and `light` as
|
||||
GETtable resources.
|
||||
|
||||
coap://[aaaa::250:c2ff:fea8:c48e]:61616/helloworld
|
||||
coap://[aaaa::250:c2ff:fea8:c48e]:61616/light
|
||||
|
||||
The econotag does not have a light sensor. The light resource will
|
||||
always return 0. At a latter date, this sensor will be connected to
|
||||
one of the ADC pins.
