An example showing the use of CHIP on the Linux. The document will describe how to build and run Matter TV Example on Raspberry Pi. This doc is tested on Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi Server 20.04 LTS (aarch64) and Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi Desktop 20.10 (aarch64)
Install tool chain
$ sudo apt-get install git gcc g++ python pkg-config libssl-dev libdbus-1-dev libglib2.0-dev ninja-build python3-venv python3-dev unzip
Build the example application:
$ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/tv-app/linux $ git submodule update --init $ source third_party/connectedhomeip/scripts/activate.sh $ gn gen out/debug $ ninja -C out/debug
To delete generated executable, libraries and object files use:
$ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/tv-app/linux $ rm -rf out/
Start the tv-app. Set ports to not conflict with other Matter apps you might run on the same machine (chip-tool, tv-casting-app, etc)
$ ./out/debug/chip-tv-app --secured-device-port 5640 --secured-commissioner-port 5552
Using the tv-app shell, invoke the controller commands:
Print out all controller commands (discovery, commissioning, etc.)
$ controller help
Try the “commission-onnetwork ” command
$ controller commission-onnetwork 34567890 2976 192.168.65.3 5540 -or- $ controller commission-onnetwork 34567890 2976 fe80::50:ff:fe00:1 5540
When the tv-app receives a UDC request from a commissionable node (like a tv-casting-app), it will print out
CHIP:SVR: UserDirectedCommissioningServer::OnMessageReceived CHIP:SVR: UDC instance=F879911BF17129AA CHIP:SVR: OnCommissionableNodeFound instance: name=F879911BF17129AA old_state=1 new_state=3 CHIP:CTL: ------PROMPT USER: Test TV casting app is requesting permission to cast to this TV, approve? [0x0000_FFF1,0x0000_8001,F879911BF17129AA,01005DD9BB0990AF18F19C35C30C670532BC] CHIP:CTL: ------Via Shell Enter: controller ux ok|cancel
Begin commissioning it by running
$ controller ux ok
Print out the cached list of UDC sessions
$ udc-print
Commission an entry from this UDC session cache. This will allow you to skip entering discriminator, IP and port because these will be taken from the UDC session cache:
$ udc-commission <pincode> <udc-entry> $ udc-commission 34567890 0
As an app platform, Content Apps can be launched and assigned to endpoints following (see Video Player Architecture in the Device Library spec).
There is a dummy app platform included in the linux tv-app which includes a small number of hardcoded apps. See examples/tv-app/tv-common/src/AppTv.h and examples/tv-app/tv-common/src/AppTv.cpp for this dummy implementation. These apps have hardcoded values for many operations - on a real device, these apps would usually be developed by streaming video content providers and the native platform may or may not provide Matter interfaces to these apps. In some cases, the video player platform will bridge its existing internal interfaces to Matter, allowing apps to continue to not be Matter-aware, while other platforms may provide Matter interfaces to Content Apps so that they can directly respond to each Matter cluster.
On Linux, there are shell commands to start and stop the dummy apps (by vendor id):
$ app add 1 (vendor id 1) $ app add 2 (vendor id 2) $ app add 9050 (vendor id 9050) $ app remove 1
As an app platform, local apps can be used to facilitate commissioning using their AccountLogin clusters. The dummy apps have hardcoded setup codes - on a real device, these apps would communicate with a cloud service to obtain the setup code given a rotating id from a tv-casting-app (eg. a phone app). You can change the setup code for a given Content App using “setpin ”:
$ setpin 9050 20202021 $ setpin 9050 34567890
When a UDC message comes from a vendor id that maps to a ContentApp in the ContentAppPlatform, the AccountLogin cluster of the ContentApp endpoint will be given the chance to obtain a setup code. You can trigger this process using “app commission ”. will usually be 0 (when there is only one entry in the UDC cache):
$ app commission 0
You can use chip-tool to launch apps by invoking the Application Launcher cluster on endpoint 1 using chiptool:
$ ./out/debug/chip-tool applicationlauncher launch-app Data CatalogVendorId ApplicationId node-id endpoint-id $ ./out/debug/chip-tool applicationlauncher launch-app foo1 1 App2 1234 1
You can use chip-tool to navigate among targets on endpoint 1 (main video player) and on Content App endpoints:
Read targets for a given endpoint:
$ ./out/debug/chip-tool targetnavigator read attr-name node-id endpoint-id $ ./out/debug/chip-tool targetnavigator read target-navigator-list 1234 1 (video player endpoint 1) $ ./out/debug/chip-tool targetnavigator read target-navigator-list 1234 6 (content app endpoint 6 - requires app to be launched)
Navigate to a new target:
$ ./out/debug/chip-tool targetnavigator navigate-target Target Data node-id endpoint-id $ ./out/debug/chip-tool targetnavigator navigate-target 2 foo1 1234 6 (target id 2 on endpoint 6)
The tv-casting-app can be used to discover casting video players, selecting one, sending a UDC message, get commissioned, and then send commands to the video player and/or a Content App on it.
Start the tv-app:
$ ./out/debug/chip-tv-app --secured-device-port 5640 --secured-commissioner-port 5552
Start the tv-casting-app:
$ ./out/debug/chip-tv-casting-app
TV casting app should discover video players on the network. Into the shell, enter “1” to select the first one in the list:
$ 1
TV casting app will send a UDC command to the selected video player. The tv-app should print out receipt of the UDC message.
If the VID for the tv-casting-app matches the vid for a Content App, then you can initiate commissioning using the Account Login cluster of the Content App:
$ app commission <udc cache index> $ app commission 0
If the VID does not match a ContentApp or the Account Login cluster of the ContentApp endpoint does not provide the correct setup code, initiate commissioning by entering the setup code into the shell:
$ udc-commission <pincode> <udc-entry> $ udc-commission 34567890 0
