This post acts as a solution to an error found when running through the WICED 101 AWS integration which can be found here: CypressAcademy_WW101_Files/WW101-07c-MQTT-AWS.pdf at master · cypresssemiconductorco/CypressAcademy_...
The AWS examples, publisher.c and subscriber.c, were programmed to a Quicksilver Eval kit using WICED 6.2.1.
When the board was first programmed with publisher.c, the terminal output after initialization read:
[MQTT-LIB] TCP receive error
[AWS/MQTT] Event received 2
[Application/AWS] Closing connection...
[Application/AWS] Deinitializing AWS library...
Event received 2 corresponds to WICED_MQTT_EVENT_TYPE_DISCONNECTED which the full comment is then "Event sent when broker accepts DISCONNECT request or when there is any network issue." There are a couple of settings that need to be double checked to get around this error.
First is to check that QoS is set to the correct level. In application_start() within the while(1) loop there is a function call to wiced_aws_publish. You must ensure that the QoS being passed in is set to WICED_AWS_QOS_ATMOST_ONCE. The line taken directly from publish.c should read:
ret = wiced_aws_publish( aws_connection, WICED_TOPIC, (uint8_t *)msg, strlen( msg ), WICED_AWS_QOS_ATMOST_ONCE );
Another factor to consider is that all of the time-zones match between your AWS dashboard and the code for publisher or subscriber. By default the AWS MQTT broker address is set with east-1.
Lastly, in the user guide, on step 8, you make a policy for the IoT device. The Resource ARN should be set to '*'. When I checked on the policy created, the Resource ARN field had changed or was not set properly. After editing the policy back to '*', everything worked with publisher and subscriber and the return message in the terminal was [AWS/MQTT] Event received 1.
Below are the steps to edit the policy:
- In AWS, navigate to Manage > Things.
- Click on your thing.
- Click on the Security tab.
- Click on your certificate located there.
- Click on the Policies tab.
- Click on your policy located there.
- Click on Edit policy document.
- Change the line to in the Statement to “Resource”: “*”
- Click Save as new version.
- Re-program the Quicksilver board and it should be good-to-go.
