This guide explains how to build applications for Rapsberry Pi based on the Kaa C++ endpoint SDK (further, the C++ SDK).
Alternative
You can also build the Kaa C/C++ endpoint SDK for Raspberry Pi by performing cross-compilation on a Linux machine. Refer to Raspberry Pi cross-compilation for further details.
If this is the first time you use the Rapsberry Pi technology, you have to start with configuring your board. For this purpose, refer to the official Raspberry Pi getting started guide.
The further instructions are expected to be executed directly on the Rapsberry Pi board and with Linux installation and root permissions.
Install common prerequisites:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install cmake libssl-dev
The following third-party components must be installed on the Rapsberry Pi board before building the C++ SDK.
NOTE: The further instructions are expected to be executed in the order given, directly on the Rapsberry Pi board, and with Linux installation and root permissions.
To install these libraries, proceed as follows:
Install common prerequisites:
sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install cmake libssl-dev python-dev
Install Boost (1.54 or higher).
sudo apt-get install libbz2-dev libbz2-1.0 zlib1g zlib1g-dev wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/boost/files/boost/1.58.0/boost_1_58_0.tar.gz tar -zxf boost_1_58_0.tar.gz cd boost_1_58_0/ ./bootstrap.sh sudo ./b2 install
Install Avro (1.7.5-1.7.7).
wget http://apache.ip-connect.vn.ua/avro/avro-1.7.7/cpp/avro-cpp-1.7.7.tar.gz tar -zxf avro-cpp-1.7.7.tar.gz cd avro-cpp-1.7.7/ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" sudo make install
Install Botan (1.11).
wget https://github.com/randombit/botan/archive/1.11.28.tar.gz tar -zxf 1.11.28.tar.gz cd botan-1.11.28/ ./configure.py --cpu=arm sudo make install ln -s /usr/local/include/botan-1.11/botan /usr/local/include/botan
Install SQLite (latest).
wget https://www.sqlite.org/2015/sqlite-autoconf-3081002.tar.gz tar -zxf sqlite-autoconf-3081002.tar.gz cd sqlite-autoconf-3081002/ ./configure sudo make install
To create an application based on the C++ SDK, you need to build static/shared Kaa libraries from the generated SDK at first and then link your application to those libraries. You can either do it manually or create some build script to automate the building process (see the Example section).
The Rapsberry Pi platform allows building the source code directly on the board. The only thing you need to do prior to that is export your code onto the board. For this purpose you can use, for example, the scp utility.
To quickly start with the Kaa IoT platform, you can download one of Kaa demo applications from the Kaa Sandbox and run it on the Raspberry Pi board.
For this example, you need to download the notification demo from the Kaa Sandbox to your host machine. After that, export the downloaded archive to the board and run the demo, as follows:
Find the IP address assigned to the Rapsberry Pi network interface:
ifconfig eth0 | grep 'inet addr:' | cut -d: -f2 | awk '{ print $1}'
Copy the demo application source package to Rapsberry Pi from your host machine:
scp /path/to/downloaded/demo/notification_demo.tar.gz [email protected]<put ip address here>:notification_demo.tar.gz
Build and run the notification demo from your Rapsberry Pi board:
tar -zxf notification_demo.tar.gz cd CppNotificationDemo/ ./build.sh deploy
If the build is successful, you will see the following output on the Rapsberry Pi terminal:
Notification demo started --= Press Enter to exit =-- Topic list is empty Topic list was updated Topic: id '603', name 'Sample mandatory topic', type 'MANDATORY_SUBSCRIPTION' Topic: id '604', name 'Sample optional topic', type 'OPTIONAL_SUBSCRIPTION' Subscribing to optional topic '604' Notification for topic id '603' received Notification body: 'This is sample notification for mandatory topic. Client automatically receive notifications for manadatory topics. More details here: https://docs.kaaproject.org/display/KAA/Using+notifications' Notification for topic id '604' received Notification body: 'This is sample notification for optional topic. Client should subscribe to optional topics in order to receive notifications. This application subscribes to optional topics automatically.' Notification demo stopped
