I’ve been working on the AWS example with the above mentioned STM32 board but I have problems to connect MQTT.
I have been following this document (https://docs.aws.amazon.com/ko_kr/freertos/latest/userguide/what-is-amazon-freertos.html)
config END_POINT, WiFi connection in aws_clientcredential.h
then I generate key, overwrite aws_clientcredential_key.h
but my board cannot connect to mqtt broker.

I’m using WPA2 AP, woking on system workbench for STM32

Is firmware upgrade necessary?

somebody help me, please

Yes, it is necessary to update the WiFi module’s firmware. You can follow the instructions here to update the firmware: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/freertos/latest/userguide/getting_started_st.html#st-troubleshooting

Thanks.

Do you have anything else connected to the device - Please make sure that STM workbench, Terminal program etc. are all closed while you try to update the WiFi firmware.

You can remove the project level define USE_OFFLOAD_SSL and then the code should work with the old firmware as well. However, it will significantly impact performance as it will start doing TLS in software. We highly recommend updating the WiFi firmware.

Thanks.

The TCP/IP communication test was successful.
I don’t think this is a Wi-Fi issue.

Do you have other solution?

Did you try with USE_OFFLOAD_SSL removed? Would you please share your logs to enable us help you better.

Thanks.

Thank you for sharing the logs. Looking at the logs, there can be two possibilities:

  1. The TCP connection is not successful. Please put a breakpoint in prvSetupConnection function in the file aws_mqtt_agent.c to see if the connection is successful. You can do so by examining the value of xStatus: https://github.com/aws/amazon-freertos/blob/master/lib/mqtt/aws_mqtt_agent.c#L985
  2. The TCP connection is successful but MQTT connection is not. This can happen if the policy is not correctly setup. Would you please share your policy document attached to the certificate you are using?

Thanks.

I test with your advise then I put a break point in function prvSetupConnection
so, function SOCKETS_Connect fail.

a month ago ,I tried to see if there is a problem with socket communication.

I code the socket program myself.
then
The board communicated well with the Linux server when testing with the socket communication program.

Here is my Policy

{
“Version”: “2012-10-17”,
“Statement”: [
{
“Effect”: “Allow”,
“Action”: “iot:",
“Resource”: "”
}
]
}

So it is a socket connection problem. Would you please step into the SOCKETS_Connect function and see at what step it fails? Are you running with USE_OFFLOAD_SSL enabled or disabled?

Do you want to set up a remote debugging session to debug this issue?

Thanks.
