nRF9160 ping event with AWS IoT

[ksksue]

How does the device catch incoming ping events?

The device uses AWS IoT library, so it can't open a raw socket.

It looks like the ping events closed inside the modem binary.

So, this code does not run.

/opt/nordic/ncs/v2.0.2/zephyr/subsys/net/ip/icmpv4.c

Are there any ping event APIs? or sniffing raw packets?

mfw_nrf9160_1.3.2
nRF Connect SDK v.2.0.2

I use a diagram to explain what I want to achieve and what is actually difficult to achieve.

Hi,

 

ICMP reply is handled in slm via a raw socket type:

https://github.com/nrfconnect/sdk-nrf/blob/v2.4.99-dev2/applications/serial_lte_modem/src/slm_at_icmp.c#L297-L345

 

It is polled similar to any other socket type.

 

The device uses AWS IoT library, so it can't open a raw socket.

Are you thinking of the keepalive for mqtt? This is configured via CONFIG_MQTT_KEEPALIVE

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

If a raw socket is opened, AWS IoT's packet goes to the raw socket. And communication with AWS IoT is no longer possible.

A) 
application <--> AWS IoT(mqtt socket zephyr/subsys/net/lib/mqtt/mqtt_transport_socket_tls.c)
                  <--> ping (can't catch the events)

B) open a raw socket
application <-X-> AWS IoT(mqtt socket zephyr/subsys/net/lib/mqtt/mqtt_transport_socket_tls.c)
                   <--> raw socket send/recv (It can catch ping events)

If pattern B, unintentionally, raw socket receives AWS IoT's packet and AWS IoT's library stops working.

So, in the case of pattern A, I want to catch the ping events.

Hi,

 

I'm uncertain about what you're asking about in this case.

Are you asking about ICMP in the generic LTE Network?

 

Or do you want to dump the IP trace?

If yes, then you can do this by enabling modem traces and using this tool (+ Wireshark): https://infocenter.nordicsemi.com/topic/ug_cellular_monitor/UG/cellular_monitor/intro.html?cp=11_3_1

 

Kind regards,

Håkon

I think that the SDK can't use both AWS IoT library and raw socket.
Is this correct or incorrect?

If incorrect, I try this.

I don't want to dump the IP trace.
