nRF9160 LWM2M sample with Leshan prj.conf setup

[bjull]

I've been trying to run the LWM2M sample from here but I've been running into some issues. Leshan provides two URLs for publicly accessible test LWM2M servers, coap://leshan.eclipseprojects.io:5683 and coaps://leshan.eclipseprojects.io:5684, as described here. I've followed the instructions on the "nRF9160: LwM2M Client" page but I've been unable to connect to the LWM2M server and my client prints this error:

[00:17:17.579,650] <inf> net_lwm2m_rd_client: RD Client started with endpoint 'nrf-{IMEI REDACTED}' with client lifetime 30
[00:17:17.579,772] <err> net_lwm2m_rd_client: Cannot init LWM2M engine (-22)

My best guess is that I'm entering the server URL in the prj.conf incorrectly. I've tried a few different possible combinations but to no avail

CONFIG_APP_LWM2M_SERVER="coaps://leshan.eclipseprojects.io:5684"
CONFIG_APP_LWM2M_SERVER="coaps://leshan.eclipseprojects.io"
CONFIG_APP_LWM2M_SERVER="leshan.eclipseprojects.io:5684"
CONFIG_APP_LWM2M_SERVER="coap://leshan.eclipseprojects.io:5683"
CONFIG_APP_LWM2M_SERVER="coap://leshan.eclipseprojects.io"
CONFIG_APP_LWM2M_SERVER="leshan.eclipseprojects.io:5683"
CONFIG_APP_LWM2M_SERVER="leshan.eclipseprojects.io"

I also have my LWM2M_PEER_PORT set to 5684 if that matters. It could also be possible that my PSK settings are wrong. My config in the Leshan server is as described in the guide (id=Client_identity, PSK=000102030405060708090a0b0c0d0e0f, endpoint=nrf-{IMEI})

Any help to get this sample up and running would be appreciated.

EDIT:

I've checked the modem firmware and it's up to date (1.0.1). I also verified the Leshan demo LWM2M server using a separate LWM2M client running locally and it appears to be working fine as well.

Hello, 

I've followed the instructions on the "nRF9160: LwM2M Client" page but I've been unable to connect to the LWM2M server

The only thing that comes to mind, is that in the documentation it to configure prj.config with: 

CONFIG_APP_LWM2M_SERVER="{IP address of LwM2M server}"
CONFIG_LWM2M_PEER_PORT=5684

However, the error message:

[00:17:17.579,772] <err> net_lwm2m_rd_client: Cannot init LWM2M engine (-22)

 "Cannot init LWM2M engine (-22) indicates, according to errno.h, an invalid argument when calling lwm2m_engine_start(). 

Will investigate here.

Kind regards,
Øyvind

Hi Øyvind,

I tried using the IP address and it looks like it worked a bit better. Now I get an error getting the modem parameters and I'm unabled to connect to the LWM2M server. I did some debugging and it looks like the error occurs inside modem_info_params_get when trying to get cellid_hex. After sending the AT command and reading, modem_info_parse returns E2BIG.

Here's the console output:

Hello, 

I forwarded your answer to our team. 

app_lwm2m_connmon: Unable to obtain modem parameters: -11

This should be fixed in the latest version on master branch. Please update your repo with a git pull and west update.

[00:00:08.342,346] <inf> net_lwm2m_rd_client: RD Client started with endpoint 'nrf-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' with client lifetime 30
[00:00:19.038,024] <inf> net_lwm2m_engine: Resending message: 0x200226a4
[00:00:39.038,909] <inf> net_lwm2m_engine: Resending message: 0x200226a4

This is unfortunately nothing we can do with, as this is due to server instability. Our team has observed the same behaviour when connecting to "leshan.eclipseprojects.io". Testing against a non-public LwM2M server (running leshan implementation as well) was successfull, with no issues.

[Øyvind]

Hello again, 

Our NCS team informed me that there is a fix for the DNS issues (the reason for why you have to use an IP), Please try to update your master branch and let me know how that works. Also, the leshan servers seem to be more stable at the moment.

Kind regards,
Øyvind
