This blog post shows how to use macros in WICED to debug TLS (Transport Layer Security) data. The mbedTLS library provides debug macros MBEDTLS_DEBUG_C, MBEDTLS_SSL_DEBUG_ALL and MBEDTLS_DEBUG_LOG_LEVEL defined in /WICED/security/BESL/mbedtls_open/include/mbedtls/config.h and they are disabled by default. You can enable those macros and define MBEDTLS_DEBUG_LOG_LEVEL as per the level of debugging required. Higher the level, more details can be captured in the logs. The log levels are defined as shown below:

 

0 No debug

1 Error

2 State change

3 Informational

4 Verbose

 

In addition, you also need to enable WPRINT_ENABLE_SECURITY_DEBUG in /include/wiced_defaults.h. Please note that debug printing consumes a lot of memory so you need to allocate at least 4 kB to the stack of every thread that uses debug printing.
