AWS FreeRTOS IDT information required

Partners & Sponsors AWS

Hi,
I have enabled LTE-M based solution where AWS freertos ported and used with LTE-M to communicate with AWS.
MQTT and OTA demos are working fine.

To move forward i need to perform IDT testing and i went through tutorials and guide provided in aws.
All Guidance seemed to be provided in accordance with WIFI and BLE.

So below are my quires after reading through the process .

  1. Is it necessary to use Tag version of AWS freeRTOS from git ?
  2. If I don’t select any connectivity interface it seemed IDT test wont work, so what should be replaced in config.json and userdata.json in place with WIFI,BLE for LTE-M case ?
  3. I have developed this solution with IDE based environment, i found that json file needs to have flash and bulld scripts, so how can i fulfill this requirement ?
  4. Is there any document available for IDT which does not uses WIFI, BLE, ETH solution i. e. GPRS,4G,LTE, Cellular solutions ?

Any help will be appreciable.

Thanks

Hi Arjun,

Thank you for your message. We greatly appreciate your interest in FreeRTOS.

To be able to help you better, can you please advise if you are working towards getting a board listed here.

Best,

HI @sbammi,

Thanks for the replay.

No my board is custom and yet not in the AWS list.
I am going to make it qualify and that’s why i m performing step by step IDT process.

My hardware is based on Silabs EFM32.

I have been through the docs for qualification and before performing IDT I have got above mentioned quires.

Thanks

Hi Arjun,

Thanks again for your feedback. Please find our response to your questions below:

  1. Is it necessary to use Tag version of AWS freeRTOS from git ?
    Answer - For qualification, Yes.

  2. If I don’t select any connectivity interface it seemed IDT test wont work, so what should be replaced in config.json and userdata.json in place with WIFI,BLE for LTE-M case ?
    Answer - We currently do not have LTE-M option in IDT. Please stay tuned as we work on bringing new connectivity interfaces to FreeRTOS and IDT.

  3. I have developed this solution with IDE based environment, i found that json file needs to have flash and bulld scripts, so how can i fulfill this requirement ?
    Answer - Currently IDT does not support directly using IDE configuration to build and flash FreeRTOS project. Could you check if the board can use CMake or any other build tools to generate the build files?

  4. Is there any document available for IDT which does not uses WIFI, BLE, ETH solution i. e. GPRS,4G,LTE, Cellular solutions ?
    Answer - As noted above in #2, currently we do not have Cellular support in IDT and hence such documentation does not exist.

best regards,
Sachin
