The demo application is intended to work on following categories of ESP32 devices:
Building the example application requires the use of the Espressif IoT Development Framework (ESP-IDF).
The VSCode devcontainer has these components pre-installed, so you can skip this step. To install these components manually, follow these steps:
Clone the Espressif ESP-IDF and checkout v4.4.1 release
$ mkdir ${HOME}/tools $ cd ${HOME}/tools $ git clone https://github.com/espressif/esp-idf.git $ cd esp-idf $ git checkout v4.4.1 $ git submodule update --init $ ./install.sh
For ESP32H2, you can checkout commit id 10f3aba770
$ cd esp-idf $ git checkout 10f3aba770 $ git submodule update --init $ ./install.sh
Install ninja-build
$ sudo apt-get install ninja-build
Currently building in VSCode and deploying from native is not supported, so make sure the IDF_PATH has been exported(See the manual setup steps above).
Setting up the environment
$ cd ${HOME}/tools/esp-idf $ ./install.sh $ . ./export.sh $ cd {path-to-connectedhomeip}
To download and install packages.
$ source ./scripts/bootstrap.sh $ source ./scripts/activate.sh
If packages are already installed then simply activate them.
$ source ./scripts/activate.sh
Enable Ccache for faster IDF builds
It is recommended to have Ccache installed for faster builds
$ export IDF_CCACHE_ENABLE=1
Target Set
$ idf.py set-target esp32 or $ idf.py set-target esp32c3 or $ idf.py set-target esp32s3 or $ idf.py --preview set-target esp32h2
Using ESP32 Factory Data Provider (Optional)
By default this application uses test-mode CommissionableDataProvider and Example DeviceAttestationCredentialsProvider.
Enable config option CONFIG_ENABLE_ESP32_FACTORY_DATA_PROVIDER
to use ESP32 specific implementation of CommissionableDataProvider and DeviceAttestationCredentialsProvider.
ESP32 implementation reads factory data from nvs partition, chip-factory data must be flashed into the configure nvs partition. Factory partition can be configured using CONFIG_CHIP_FACTORY_NAMESPACE_PARTITION_LABEL
option, default is “nvs”.
scripts/tools/generate_esp32_chip_factory_bin.py
script generates the chip-factory NVS image partition.bin
.
Script has dependency on spake2p for generating spake2p parameters.
Build spake2p:
cd path/to/connectedhomeip gn gen out/host ninja -C out/host cd -
Add spake2p to $PATH environment variable
export PATH=$PATH:path/to/connectedhomeip/out/host
To erase flash of the chip.
$ idf.py -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART erase-flash
Below mentioned command generates the nvs image with test DAC with VID:0xFFF2 and PID:8001
cd third_party/connectedhomeip/scripts/tools ./generate_esp32_chip_factory_bin.py -d 3434 -p 99663300 \ --dac-cert ../../credentials/test/attestation/Chip-Test-DAC-FFF2-8001-0008-Cert.der \ --dac-key ../../credentials/test/attestation/Chip-Test-DAC-FFF2-8001-0008-Key.der \ --pai-cert ../../credentials/test/attestation/Chip-Test-PAI-FFF2-8001-Cert.der \ --cd ../../credentials/test/certification-declaration/Chip-Test-CD-FFF2-8001.der cd -
This project uses VID:0xFFF1 and PID:0x8000, if you are planning to use the above command as is please change the VID/PID using menuconfig options.
Use the following command to flash the NVS image. 0x9000
is default address for nvs
partition.
esptool.py -p <port> write_flash 0x9000 third_party/connectedhomeip/scripts/tools/partition.bin
To build the demo application.
$ idf.py build
After building the application, to flash it outside of VSCode, connect your device via USB. Then run the following command to flash the demo application onto the device and then monitor its output. If necessary, replace /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART
(MacOS) with the correct USB device name for your system(like /dev/ttyUSB0
on Linux). Note that sometimes you might have to press and hold the boot
button on the device while it's trying to connect before flashing.
$ idf.py -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART flash monitor
Note: Some users might have to install the VCP driver before the device shows up on /dev/tty
.
Quit the monitor by hitting Ctrl+]
.
Note: You can see a menu of various monitor commands by hitting Ctrl+t Ctrl+h
while the monitor is running.
If desired, the monitor can be run again like so:
$ idf.py -p /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART monitor
Commissioning over ble after flashing script, change the passcode, replace 20202021
with 99663300
.
Please build the standalone chip-tool as described here
Commissioning the WiFi Lighting devices(ESP32, ESP32C3, ESP32S3)
$ ./out/debug/chip-tool pairing ble-wifi 12345 <ssid> <passphrase> 20202021 3840
For ESP32-H2, firstly start OpenThread Border Router, you can either use Raspberry Pi OpenThread Border Router OR ESP32 OpenThread Border Router
Get the active operational dataset.
$ ot-ctl> dataset active -x
Commissioning the Thread Lighting device(ESP32H2)
$ ./out/debug/chip-tool pairing ble-thread 12345 hex:<operational-dataset> 20202021 3840
NOTE: If using ESP32 factory data provider then commission the device using discriminator and passcode provided while building the factory NVS binary.
After successful commissioning, use the OnOff cluster command to control the OnOff attribute. This allows you to toggle a parameter implemented by the device to be On or Off.
$ ./out/debug/chip-tool onoff on 12345 1
On ESP32C3-DevKitM or ESP32S3-DevKitM board, there is an on-board RGB-LED. Use ColorControl cluster command to control the color attributes:
$ ./out/debug/chip-tool colorcontrol move-to-hue-and-saturation 240 100 0 0 0 12345 1
Before moving ahead, make sure your device is commissioned and running.
scripts/examples/gn_build_example.sh examples/ota-provider-app/linux out/debug chip_config_network_layer_ble=false
./out/debug/chip-ota-provider-app -f hello-world.bin
hello-world.bin can be obtained from compiling the hello-world ESP-IDF example.
./out/debug/chip-tool pairing onnetwork 12346 20202021
After commissioning is successful, press Enter in requestor device console and type below query.
>matter ota query 1 12346 0
Once the transfer is complete, OTA requestor sends ApplyUpdateRequest command to OTA provider for applying the image. Device will restart on successful application of OTA image.
Below is the quick start guide for encrypting the application and factory partition but before proceeding further please READ THE DOCS FIRST. Documentation References:
idf.py menuconfig
partitions_encrypted.csv
partition table [Partition Table → Custom partition CSV file]generate_esp32_chip_factory_bin.py
script-e
option along with other options to generate the encrypted factory partitionfactory_partition.bin
and keys/nvs_key_partition.bin
Flash the application using idf.py flash
, NOTE: If not flashing for the first time you will have to use idf.py encrypted-flash
Flash the factory partition, this SHALL be non encrypted write as NVS encryption works differently
esptool.py -p (PORT) write_flash 0x9000 path/to/factory_partition.bin
esptool.py -p (PORT) write_flash --encrypt 0x317000 path/to/nvs_key_partition.bin
NOTE: Above command uses the default addressed printed in the boot logs
