A Quick Introduction to the Erbium (Er) REST Engine
|
|
===================================================
|
|
|
|
EXAMPLE FILES
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- er-example-server.c: A RESTful server example showing how to use the REST
|
|
layer to develop server-side applications (at the moment only CoAP is
|
|
implemented for the REST Engine).
|
|
- er-example-client.c: A CoAP client that polls the /actuators/toggle resource
|
|
every 10 seconds and cycles through 4 resources on button press (target
|
|
address is hard-coded).
|
|
- er-plugtest-server.c: The server used for draft compliance testing at ETSI
|
|
IoT CoAP Plugtests. Erbium (Er) participated in Paris, France, March 2012 and
|
|
Sophia-Antipolis, France, November 2012 (configured for minimal-net).
|
|
|
|
PRELIMINARIES
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
- Make sure rpl-border-router has the same stack and fits into mote memory:
|
|
You can disable RDC in border-router project-conf.h (not really required as BR keeps radio turned on).
|
|
#undef NETSTACK_CONF_RDC
|
|
#define NETSTACK_CONF_RDC nullrdc_driver
|
|
- Alternatively, you can use the native-border-router together with the slip-radio.
|
|
- For convenience, define the Cooja addresses in /etc/hosts
|
|
aaaa::0212:7401:0001:0101 cooja1
|
|
aaaa::0212:7402:0002:0202 cooja2
|
|
...
|
|
- Get the Copper (Cu) CoAP user-agent from
|
|
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copper-270430](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/copper-270430)
|
|
- Optional: Save your target as default target
|
|
make TARGET=sky savetarget
|
|
|
|
COOJA HOWTO
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
###Server only:
|
|
|
|
make TARGET=cooja server-only.csc
|
|
|
|
Open new terminal
|
|
|
|
make connect-router-cooja
|
|
|
|
- Start Copper and discover resources at coap://cooja2:5683/
|
|
- Choose "Click button on Sky 2" from the context menu of mote 2 (server) after
|
|
requesting /test/separate
|
|
- Do the same when observing /test/event
|
|
|
|
###With client:
|
|
|
|
make TARGET=cooja server-client.csc
|
|
|
|
Open new terminal
|
|
|
|
make connect-router-cooja
|
|
|
|
- Wait until red LED toggles on mote 2 (server)
|
|
- Choose "Click button on Sky 3" from the context menu of mote 3 (client) and
|
|
watch serial output
|
|
|
|
TMOTES HOWTO
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
###Server:
|
|
|
|
1. Connect two Tmote Skys (check with $ make TARGET=sky sky-motelist)
|
|
|
|
make TARGET=sky er-example-server.upload MOTE=2
|
|
make TARGET=sky login MOTE=2
|
|
|
|
2. Press reset button, get address, abort with Ctrl+C:
|
|
Line: "Tentative link-local IPv6 address fe80:0000:0000:0000:____:____:____:____"
|
|
|
|
cd ../ipv6/rpl-border-router/
|
|
make TARGET=sky border-router.upload MOTE=1
|
|
make connect-router
|
|
|
|
For a BR tty other than USB0:
|
|
|
|
make connect-router-port PORT=X
|
|
|
|
3. Start Copper and discover resources at:
|
|
|
|
coap://[aaaa::____:____:____:____]:5683/
|
|
|
|
### Add a client:
|
|
|
|
1. Change the hard-coded server address in er-example-client.c to aaaa::____:____:____:____
|
|
2. Connect a third Tmote Sky
|
|
|
|
make TARGET=sky er-example-client.upload MOTE=3
|
|
|
|
MINIMAL-NET HOWTO
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
With the target minimal-net you can test your CoAP applications without
|
|
constraints, i.e., with large buffers, debug output, memory protection, etc.
|
|
The er-plugtest-server is thought for the minimal-net platform, as it requires
|
|
an 1280-byte IP buffer and 1024-byte blocks.
|
|
|
|
make TARGET=minimal-net er-plugtest-server
|
|
sudo ./er-plugtest-server.minimal-net
|
|
|
|
Open new terminal
|
|
|
|
make connect-minimal
|
|
|
|
- Start Copper and discover resources at coap://[fdfd::ff:fe00:10]:5683/
|
|
- You can enable the ETSI Plugtest menu in Copper's preferences
|
|
|
|
Under Windows/Cygwin, WPCAP might need a patch in
|
|
<cygwin>\usr\include\w32api\in6addr.h:
|
|
|
|
21,23c21
|
|
< #ifdef __INSIDE_CYGWIN__
|
|
< uint32_t __s6_addr32[4];
|
|
< #endif
|
|
---
|
|
> u_int __s6_addr32[4];
|
|
36d33
|
|
< #ifdef __INSIDE_CYGWIN__
|
|
39d35
|
|
< #endif
|
|
|
|
DETAILS
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Erbium implements the Proposed Standard of CoAP. Central features are commented
|
|
in er-example-server.c. In general, apps/er-coap supports:
|
|
|
|
- All draft-18 header options
|
|
- CON Retransmissions (note COAP_MAX_OPEN_TRANSACTIONS)
|
|
- Blockwise Transfers (note REST_MAX_CHUNK_SIZE, see er-plugtest-server.c for
|
|
Block1 uploads)
|
|
- Separate Responses (no rest_set_pre_handler() required anymore, note
|
|
coap_separate_accept(), _reject(), and _resume())
|
|
- Resource Discovery
|
|
- Observing Resources (see EVENT_ and PRERIODIC_RESOURCE, note
|
|
COAP_MAX_OBSERVERS)
|
|
|
|
TODOs
|
|
-----
|
|
|
|
- Dedicated Observe buffers
|
|
- Optimize message struct variable access (directly access struct without copying)
|
|
- Observe client
|
|
- Multiple If-Match ETags
|
|
- (Message deduplication)
