The following example uses a single RTOS task. The source code for this example can be found at demos/tcp/aws_tcp_echo_client_single_task.c
.
Before you begin, verify that you have downloaded FreeRTOS to your microcontroller and built and run the FreeRTOS demo projects. You can clone or download FreeRTOS from GitHub. See the README.md file for instructions.
To run the demo
Note
To set up and run the FreeRTOS demos, follow the steps in Getting Started with FreeRTOS.
The TCP server and client demos are currently not supported on the Cypress CYW943907AEVAL1F and CYW954907AEVAL1F Development Kits.
-
Follow the instructions in Setting Up the TLS Echo Server in the FreeRTOS Porting Guide.
A TLS echo server should be running and listening on the port 9000.
During the setup, you should have generated four files:
client.pem
(client certificate)client.key
(client private key)server.pem
(server certificate)server.key
(server private key)
-
Use the tool
tools/certificate_configuration/CertificateConfigurator.html
to copy the client certificate (client.pem
) and client private key (client.key
) toaws_clientcredential_keys.h
. -
Open the
FreeRTOSConfig.h
file. -
Set the
configECHO_SERVER_ADDR0
,configECHO_SERVER_ADDR1
,configECHO_SERVER_ADDR2
, andconfigECHO_SERVER_ADDR3
variables to the four integers that make up the IP address where the TLS Echo Server is running. -
Set the
configTCP_ECHO_CLIENT_PORT
variable to9000
, the port where the TLS Echo Server is listening. -
Set the
configTCP_ECHO_TASKS_SINGLE_TASK_TLS_ENABLED
variable to1
. -
Use the tool
tools/certificate_configuration/PEMfileToCString.html
to copy the server certificate (server.pem
) tocTlsECHO_SERVER_CERTIFICATE_PEM
in the fileaws_tcp_echo_client_single_task.c
. -
Open
freertos/vendors/vendor/boards/board/aws_demos/config_files/aws_demo_config.h
, comment out#define CONFIG_CORE_MQTT_MUTUAL_AUTH_DEMO_ENABLED
, and defineCONFIG_OTA_MQTT_UPDATE_DEMO_ENABLED
orCONFIG_OTA_HTTP_UPDATE_DEMO_ENABLED
.
The microcontroller and the TLS Echo Server should be on the same network. When the demo starts (main.c
), you should see a log message that reads Received correct string from echo server.
