Mahavir Jain edb84c19dd coap: move mbedTLS config options from component to examples
CoAP component relies on some mbedTLS crypto configuration
options, e.g. DTLS and PSK. These configuration options if
selected, have footprint impact on generic TLS examples like
https_request or https_ota as well.

Footprint of https_request example with/without change is per below:

$ ./tools/idf_size.py new_https_request.map --diff old_https_request.map

<CURRENT> MAP file: new_https_request.map
<REFERENCE> MAP file: old_https_request.map
Difference is counted as <CURRENT> - <REFERENCE>, i.e. a positive number means that <CURRENT> is larger.
Total sizes of <CURRENT>:                                                 <REFERENCE>     Difference
 DRAM .data size:   14796 bytes                                                 14796

This commit moves relevant config options to CoAP specific examples
and also adds some run time warnings if they are kept disabled.

CoAP server example

(See the README.md file in the upper level 'examples' directory for more information about examples.)
This CoAP server example is very simplified adaptation of one of the libcoap examples.

CoAP server example will startup a daemon task, receive requests / data from CoAP client and transmit data to CoAP client.

If the incoming request requests the use of DTLS (connecting to port 5684), then the CoAP server will try to establish a DTLS session using the previously defined Pre-Shared Key (PSK) - which must be the same as the one that the CoAP client is using, or Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) where the PKI information must match as requested.

NOTE: Client sessions trying to use coaps+tcp:// are not currently supported, even though both libcoap and MbedTLS support it.

The Constrained Application Protocol (CoAP) is a specialized web transfer protocol for use with constrained nodes and constrained networks in the Internet of Things.
The protocol is designed for machine-to-machine (M2M) applications such as smart energy and building automation.

Please refer to RFC7252 for more details.

How to use example

Configure the project

idf.py menuconfig

Example Connection Configuration --->

  • Set WiFi SSID under Example Configuration
  • Set WiFi Password under Example Configuration Example CoAP Client Configuration --->
  • If PSK, Set CoAP Preshared Key to use in connection to the server Component config ---> CoAP Configuration --->
    • Set encryption method definition, PSK (default) or PKI
    • Enable CoAP debugging if required

Build and Flash

Build the project and flash it to the board, then run monitor tool to view serial output:

idf.py build
idf.py -p PORT flash monitor

(To exit the serial monitor, type Ctrl-].)

See the Getting Started Guide for full steps to configure and use ESP-IDF to build projects.

Example Output

current CoAP server would startup a daemon task,
and the log is such as the following:

...
I (332) wifi: mode : sta (30:ae:a4:04:1b:7c)
I (1672) wifi: n:11 0, o:1 0, ap:255 255, sta:11 0, prof:1
I (1672) wifi: state: init -> auth (b0)
I (1682) wifi: state: auth -> assoc (0)
I (1692) wifi: state: assoc -> run (10)
I (1692) wifi: connected with huawei_cw, channel 11
I (1692) wifi: pm start, type: 1

I (2622) event: sta ip: 192.168.3.84, mask: 255.255.255.0, gw: 192.168.3.1
I (2622) CoAP_server: Connected to AP
...

If a CoAP client queries the /Espressif resource, CoAP server will return "Hello World!"
until a CoAP client does a PUT with different data.

Troubleshooting

  • Please make sure CoAP client fetchs or puts data under path: /Espressif or fetches /.well-known/core

  • CoAP logging can be enabled by running 'idf.py menuconfig -> Component config -> CoAP Configuration' and setting appropriate log level
