:name: Echo client (advanced)
|

:relevant-api: bsd_sockets tls_credentials
|
|
|
|
Implement a client that sends IP packets, waits for data to be sent back, and verifies it.
|
|
|
|
Overview
|
|
********
|
|
|
|
The echo-client sample application for Zephyr implements a UDP/TCP client
|
|
that will send IPv4 or IPv6 packets, wait for the data to be sent back,
|
|
and then verify it matches the data that was sent.
|
|
|
|
The source code for this sample application can be found at:
|
|
:zephyr_file:`samples/net/sockets/echo_client`.

Building and Running
|
|
********************
|
|
|
|
There are multiple ways to use this application. One of the most common
|
|
usage scenario is to run echo-client application inside QEMU. This is
|
|
described in :ref:`networking_with_qemu`.
|
|
|
|
There are configuration files for different boards and setups in the
|
|
echo-client directory:
|
|
|
|
- :file:`prj.conf`
|
|
Generic config file, normally you should use this.
|
|
|
|
- :file:`overlay-ot.conf`
|
|
This overlay config enables support for OpenThread.
|
|
|
|
- :file:`overlay-802154.conf`
|
|
This overlay config enables support for native IEEE 802.15.4 connectivity.
|
|
Note, that by default IEEE 802.15.4 L2 uses unacknowledged communication. To
|
|
improve connection reliability, acknowledgments can be enabled with shell
|
|
command: ``ieee802154 ack set``.
|
|
|
|
- :file:`overlay-qemu_802154.conf`
|
|
This overlay config enables support for two QEMU's when simulating
|
|
IEEE 802.15.4 network that are connected together.
|
|
|
|
- :file:`overlay-tls.conf`
|
|
This overlay config enables support for TLS.
|
|
|
|
Build echo-client sample application like this:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/net/sockets/echo_client
|
|
:board: <board to use>
|
|
:conf: <config file to use>
|
|
:goals: build
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
Example building for the nrf52840dk/nrf52840 with OpenThread support:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/net/sockets/echo_client
|
|
:host-os: unix
|
|
:board: nrf52840dk/nrf52840
|
|
:conf: "prj.conf overlay-ot.conf"
|
|
:goals: run
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
Example building for the IEEE 802.15.4 RF2XX transceiver:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/net/sockets/echo_client
|
|
:host-os: unix
|
|
:board: [samr21_xpro | sam4s_xplained | sam_v71_xult/samv71q21]
|
|
:gen-args: -DEXTRA_CONF_FILE=overlay-802154.conf
|
|
:goals: build flash
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
In a terminal window you can check if communication is happen:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ minicom -D /dev/ttyACM1
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Enabling TLS support
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
Enable TLS support in the sample by building the project with the
|
|
``overlay-tls.conf`` overlay file enabled, for example, using these commands:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/net/sockets/echo_client
|
|
:board: qemu_x86
|
|
:conf: "prj.conf overlay-tls.conf"
|
|
:goals: build
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
An alternative way is to specify ``-DEXTRA_CONF_FILE=overlay-tls.conf`` when
|
|
running ``west build`` or ``cmake``.
|
|
|
|
The certificate and private key used by the sample can be found in the sample's
|
|
``src`` directory. The default certificates used by Socket Echo Client and
|
|
:zephyr:code-sample:`sockets-echo-server` enable establishing a secure connection
|
|
between the samples.
|
|
|
|
SOCKS5 proxy support
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to connect to the echo-server through a SOCKS5 proxy.
|
|
To enable it, use ``-DEXTRA_CONF_FILE=overlay-socks5.conf`` when running ``west
|
|
build`` or ``cmake``.
|
|
|
|
By default, to make the testing easier, the proxy is expected to run on the
|
|
same host as the echo-server in Linux host.
|
|
|
|
To start a proxy server, for example a builtin SOCKS server support in ssh
|
|
can be used (-D option). Use the following command to run it on your host
|
|
with the default port:
|
|
|
|
For IPv4 proxy server:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ ssh -N -D 0.0.0.0:1080 localhost
|
|
|
|
For IPv6 proxy server:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ ssh -N -D [::]:1080 localhost
|
|
|
|
Run both commands if you are testing IPv4 and IPv6.
|
|
|
|
To connect to a proxy server that is not running under the same IP as the
|
|
echo-server or uses a different port number, modify the following values
|
|
in echo_client/src/tcp.c.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: c
|
|
|
|
#define SOCKS5_PROXY_V4_ADDR IPV4_ADDR
|
|
#define SOCKS5_PROXY_V6_ADDR IPV6_ADDR
|
|
#define SOCKS5_PROXY_PORT 1080
|
|
|
|
Running echo-server in Linux Host
|
|
=================================
|
|
|
|
There is one useful testing scenario that can be used with Linux host.
|
|
Here echo-client is run in QEMU and echo-server is run in Linux host.
|
|
|
|
To use QEMU for testing, follow the :ref:`networking_with_qemu` guide.
|
|
|
|
In a terminal window:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: console
|
|
|
|
$ sudo ./echo-server -i tap0
|
|
|
|
Run echo-client application in QEMU:
|
|
|
|
.. zephyr-app-commands::
|
|
:zephyr-app: samples/net/sockets/echo_client
|
|
:host-os: unix
|
|
:board: qemu_x86
|
|
:conf: "prj.conf overlay-linux.conf"
|
|
:goals: run
|
|
:compact:
|
|
|
|
Note that echo-server must be running in the Linux host terminal window
|
|
before you start the echo-client application in QEMU.
|
|
Exit QEMU by pressing :kbd:`CTRL+A` :kbd:`x`.
|
|
|
|
You can verify TLS communication with a Linux host as well. See
|
|
https://github.com/zephyrproject-rtos/net-tools documentation for information
|
|
on how to test TLS with Linux host samples.
|
|
|
|
See the :zephyr:code-sample:`sockets-echo-server` documentation for an alternate
|
|
way of running, with the echo-client on the Linux host and the echo-server
|
|
in QEMU.
