==Preparing firmware with example application==
  −
 
  −
First, you need to obtain GPL from https://teltonika-networks.com/gpl. Now you need to run “make menuconfig” command inside GPL folder.
  −
 
  −
[[File:cummakeconfig.png]]
  −
 
  −
You need to add example application so it can be built. Navigate to “Network” section and select “cmstreamapp” with spacebar key. It will show “<*>” once application is added, see below:
  −
 
  −
[[File:cumnetworksection.png]]
  −
 
  −
Now do the same with “Luci” section,  “Applications → luci-app-iot”. This will enable to configure example package from router control panel, see below for example:
  −
 
  −
[[File:cumlucisection.png]]
  −
 
  −
Everything should be ready and you can exit. Now run “make” command and firmware will appear in “bin/ar71xx/tltFws” directory. You can flash “GPL_…._WEBUI.bin” file.
  −
 
  −
==Configuring and launching example application==
  −
After you successfully built and flashed firmware, in „Services“ tab there should be an option called „IoT Platforms“.
  −
 
  −
[[File:cumiot.png]]
  −
 
  −
[[File:cumiotwindow.png]]
  −
 
  −
Only single field is required, which is Server Address. This is the same URL of Cumulocity Cockpit website. In this example, it is myservername.cumulocity.com.
  −
 
  −
Explanation of other options:
  −
 
  −
Use SSL/TLS – connection will use TLS, however, you need to have a signed SSL certificate, otherwise application would not be able to connect to the Cumulocity server.
  −
 
  −
Reset Auth – once device has been removed from the Cumulocity Device Management, you will need to reset authentication in order to re-register device.
  −
 
  −
Also click „Enable“ to enable example application. See below:
  −
 
  −
[[File:cumiotvalues.png]]

==RUTX - Package installing and device registering==
There are two steps when adding new properties:
     −
1. Writing template
+
Cloud of Things IoT platform is not included in standart software package, so in order to use the feature you will need to install it first. To do so, go to '''System>Package Manager.'''
   −
2. Writing lua script which will stream information.
     −
By default, template location inside router is „/usr/lib/lua/cm/srtemplate.txt“. It contains such content:
+
[[Image:Cloud of things rutx package installing 1.png]]
   −
  rut955-v0.01
     −
  10,100,GET,/identity/externalIds/SerialNumber/%%,,application/json,%%,STRING,
+
There you will find all the available packages. The one you need is called '''Cloud of Things'''. In order to install it just press the '''Install''' button.
 +
[[Image:Cloud of things rutx package installing 2.png]]
   −
<nowiki>  10,101,POST,/inventory/managedObjects,application/json,application/json,%%,STRING,"{""name"":""%%"",""c8y_IsDevice"":{},""com_cumulocity_model_Agent"":{}}"</nowiki>
     −
  10,102,POST,/identity/globalIds/%%/externalIds,application/json,application/json,%%,STRING STRING,"{""externalId"":""%%"",""type"":""SerialNumber""}"
+
Then it will ask for your confirmation, whether you want to install the package. Press '''YES''' to continue.
   −
  10,103,PUT,/inventory/managedObjects/%%,application/json,application/json,%%,STRING    STRING STRING,"{""name"": ""%%"", ""type"": ""%%""}"
     −
<nowiki>  10,104,PUT,/inventory/managedObjects/%%,application/json,application/json,%%,STRING    STRING STRING STRING,"{""c8y_Hardware"":   {""model"":""%%"",""revision"":""%%"",""serialNumber"":""%%""}}"</nowiki>

  −
  11,501,,$.c8y_IsDevice,$.id
  −
  11,502,,$.c8y_Restart,$.id,$.deviceId
     −
First line contains template version. In this case it is „rut955-v0.01“.  
+
When the package is installed, a new window in '''Services>Cloud Solutions''' section will appear, '''Cloud of Things'''.
   −
When template is updated, version must be updated aswell, otherwise device will use non-updated template version.
     −
The following lines contains requests starting with a number „10“ and responses - starting with a number „11“. Now explanation of request:
+
[[Image:Cloud of things rutx package installing 5.png]]
   −

   −
URL – URL that will be used in request
+
[[Image:Cloud of things adding device 4.png]]
   −
Content Type – it is Content-Type header field value
+
In '''Device ID''' section write the serial number of your router. You can add more than one item by pressing '''Add another device''' button. There is a possibility to assign your routers to groups, but we are not doing that in this example.
   −
Accept – it is Accept header field value, mostly equal to Content Type

+
After successful device registration, there is one more thing that you need to do in order to start monitoring your equipment. Find your router at '''All devices''' page. Then simply press the name of the item and you will be forwarded to the info window.
   −
Value 1 - $.c8y_Restart
+
[[Image:Cloud of things adding device 9.png]]
   −
Value 2 - $.id
+
Here you will need to set the '''Required interval'''. This parameter defines how often you expect to hear from the device. If, for example, you set the required interval to 60, you expect the device at least to communicate once in an hour with Cloud of Things. RUT device sends data to the server every 10sec.
   −
Value3 - $.deviceId
+
[[Image:Cloud of things monitoring device 1.png]]
   −
 
+
If everything was done correctly you should now be able to monitoring your device on Cloud of Things. For more information about this platform visit this website: https://iot.telekom.com/en/platform
Type – responses are identified by a number 11
  −
 
  −
Code – response code, each response must contain unique number
  −
 
  −

Now explanation of logic inside lua script. By default, example application’s lua script location is „/usr/bin/lua/cm“. Application will scan this folder for any *.lua files and load them if they contains „init“ function.  Script’s „stream.lua“ content:
  −
 
  −
  -- stream.lua
  −
  local utl = require "luci.util"
  −
  local sys = require "luci.sys"
  −
  local DEVICE_NAME = 'TLT-RUT955 Router'
  −
  local DEVICE_TYPE = 'Router'
  −
 
  −
  function restart(r)
  −
      local deviceId = r:value(2)
  −
      c8y:send('108,'..deviceId..',SUCCESSFUL')
  −
      sys.exec("reboot")
  −
  end
  −
 
  −
  function init()
  −
      srInfo('*** Stream Init ***')
  −
      -- set device name and type
  −
      c8y:send('103,'..c8y.ID..','..DEVICE_NAME..','..DEVICE_TYPE)
  −
      -- set restart as supported operation
  −
      c8y:send('107,'..c8y.ID..',c8y_Restart')
  −
      -- set imei, cellid and iccid first time
  −
      mobileDataStream()
  −
      -- create timer which will stream mobile info data
  −
      local m_timer = c8y:addTimer(10 * 1000, 'mobileDataStream')
  −
      m_timer:start() 
  −
      -- register restart handler
  −
      c8y:addMsgHandler(502, 'restart')
  −
      return 0
  −
  end
  −
 
  −
  function mobileDataStream()
  −
      local imei = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -i"))
  −
      local cell = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -C"))
  −
      local icc = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -J"))
  −
      local type = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -t"))
  −
      local oper = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -o"))
  −
      local sign = utl.trim(sys.exec("gsmctl -q"))..' dBm'
  −
      local req = '105,'..c8y.ID
  −
      req = req..','..imei
  −
      req = req..','..cell
  −
      req = req..','..icc
  −
      req = req..','..type
  −
      req = req..','..oper
  −
      req = req..','..sign
  −
      -- send mobile info
  −
      c8y:send(req)
  −
      local wantype = utl.trim(sys.exec("uci get -q network.wan.ifname"))
  −
      local wanip = utl.trim(sys.exec("curl -s http://whatismyip.akamai.com"))
  −
      -- send wan info
  −
      c8y:send('106,'..c8y.ID..','..wanip..','..wantype)
  −
  end
  −
 
  −
 
  −
Once application finds lua script, it will call „init“ function. This is where all initialization of timers and other stuff should be.
  −
 
  −
Sending information is quite simple:
  −
 
  −
  c8y:send('103,'..c8y.ID..','..DEVICE_NAME..','..DEVICE_TYPE)
  −
 
  −
By using „c8y:send“ function, first string contains request code, which was defined in the template, earlier. Then comma must appear after each value. The above line shows how we update device name and device type with our own.
  −
