Function Documentation

OTA_Init()

OtaErr_t OTA_Init	(	OtaAppBuffer_t *	pOtaBuffer,
		const OtaInterfaces_t *	pOtaInterfaces,
		const uint8_t *	pThingName,
		OtaAppCallback_t	OtaAppCallback
	)

OTA Agent initialization function.

Initialize the OTA engine by starting the OTA Agent ("OTA Task") in the system. This function must be called with the connection client context before calling OTA_CheckForUpdate. Only one OTA Agent may exist.

Parameters

[in]	pOtaBuffer	Buffers used by the agent to store different params.
[in]	pOtaInterfaces	A pointer to the OS context.
[in]	pThingName	A pointer to a C string holding the Thing name.
[in]	OtaAppCallback	Static callback function for when an OTA job is complete. This function will have input of the state of the OTA image after download and during self-test.

Returns

OtaErr_t The state of the OTA Agent upon return from the OtaState_t enum. If the agent was successfully initialized and ready to operate, the state will be OtaAgentStateReady. Otherwise, it will be one of the other OtaState_t enum values.

Example

// Application callback when the OTA agent has completed the job
// or is in self test mode. For example see [demos](https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C/tree/main/demos/ota)
void otaAppCallback( OtaJobEvent_t event,
                     const void * pData );
 
// Optional: User buffer to pass down to the OTA Agent. These
// buffers are assumed to be initialized previously, example:
// uint8_t updateFilePath[ OTA_MAX_FILE_PATH_SIZE ];
OtaAppBuffer_t otaBuffer =
{
    .pUpdateFilePath    = updateFilePath,
    .updateFilePathsize = OTA_MAX_FILE_PATH_SIZE,
    .pCertFilePath      = certFilePath,
    .certFilePathSize   = OTA_MAX_FILE_PATH_SIZE,
    .pDecodeMemory      = decodeMem,
    .decodeMemorySize   = otaconfigFILE_BLOCK_SIZE,
    .pFileBitmap        = bitmap,
    .fileBitmapSize     = OTA_MAX_BLOCK_BITMAP_SIZE,
    .pUrl               = updateUrl,
    .urlSize            = OTA_MAX_URL_SIZE,
    .pAuthScheme        = authScheme,
    .authSchemeSize     = OTA_MAX_AUTH_SCHEME_SIZE
};
 
// OTA interface context required for library interface functions
// The functions set by these interfaces are assumed to be defined
// For more information see [demos](https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C/tree/main/demos/ota)
OtaInterfaces_t pOtaInterfaces =
{
    // Initialize OTA library OS Interface.
    .os.event.init = Posix_OtaInitEvent;
    .os.event.send = Posix_OtaSendEvent;
    ...
    // Initialize the OTA library MQTT Interface.
    .mqtt.subscribe = mqttSubscribe;
    .mqtt.publish = mqttPublish;
    .mqtt.unsubscribe = mqttUnsubscribe;
    // Initialize the OTA library HTTP Interface.
    .http.init = httpInit;
    .http.request = httpRequest;
    .http.deinit = httpDeinit;
    // Initialize the OTA library PAL Interface.
    .pal.getPlatformImageState = otaPal_GetPlatformImageState;

                   otaAppCallback ) ) != OtaErrNone )
         if( otaErr == OtaErrNone )
{
    // Do something with the OTA agent.
}

OTA_Shutdown()

OtaState_t OTA_Shutdown	(	uint32_t	ticksToWait,
		uint8_t	unsubscribeFlag
	)

Signal to the OTA Agent to shut down.

Signals the OTA agent task to shut down. The OTA agent will unsubscribe from all MQTT job notification topics, stop in progress OTA jobs, if any, and clear all resources.

Parameters

[in]	ticksToWait	The number of ticks to wait for the OTA Agent to complete the shutdown process. If this is set to zero, the function will return immediately without waiting. The actual state is returned to the caller. The agent does not sleep for this while but used for busy looping.
[in]	unsubscribeFlag	Flag to indicate if unsubscribe operations should be performed from the job topics when shutdown is called. If the flag is 0 then unsubscribe operations are not called for job topics If application requires it to be unsubscribed from the job topics then flag must be set to 1 when calling OTA_Shutdown.

Returns

One of the OTA agent states from the OtaState_t enum. A normal shutdown will return OtaAgentStateNotReady. Otherwise, refer to the OtaState_t enum for details.

Example

// ticksToWait used for busy looping until shutdown. Actual delay may depend on the agent priority,
// and platform.
uint32_t ticksToWait = 100;
 
// If it is required that the unsubscribe operations are not
//performed while shutting down set this to 0.
uint8_t unsubscribe = 1;
 
OTA_Shutdown(ticksToWait, unsubscribe);
...
 
if( OTA_GetState() != OtaAgentStateStopped )
{
    // Optional: Disconnect MQTT and HTTP connections
    // required by the OTA agent and other tasks.
}

OTA_GetState()

OtaState_t OTA_GetState

(

void

)

Get the current state of the OTA agent.

Returns

The current state of the OTA agent.

Example Check if OTA agent is in suspended state.

// OTA Agent state
OtaState_t state = OTA_GetState();
 
while( state != OtaAgentStateSuspended )
{
    // Do something while the agent is back to
    // the desired state.
    state = OTA_GetState();
}

OTA_ActivateNewImage()

OtaErr_t OTA_ActivateNewImage

(

void

)

Activate the newest MCU image received via OTA.

This function should reset the MCU and cause a reboot of the system to execute the newly updated firmware. It should be called by the user code sometime after the OtaJobEventActivate event is passed to the users application via the OTA Job Complete Callback mechanism. Refer to the OTA_Init function for more information about configuring the callback.

Returns

OtaErrNone if successful, otherwise an error code prefixed with 'OtaErr' from the list above.

Example

static void otaAppCallback( OtaJobEvent_t event,
                            const void * pData )
{
    OtaErr_t otaErr = OtaErrNone;
    if( event == OtaJobEventActivate )
    {
        // Activate the new firmware image.
        // This calls the platform specific code required to
        // activate the received OTA update firmware.
        otaErr = OTA_ActivateNewImage();
        if( otaErr == OtaErrActivateFailed )
        {
             // Handle Image activation failure by requesting manual response, sending
             // error logs or retrying activation.
        }

OTA_EventProcessingTask()

void OTA_EventProcessingTask

(

void *

pUnused

)

OTA agent event processing loop.

This is the main event loop to handle events for OTA update and needs to be called by the application task. This loop will continue to handle and execute events received for OTA Update until this tasks is terminated by the application.

Parameters

[in]

pUnused

Can be used to pass down functionality to the agent task, Unused for now. This can be a function pointer that executes as the first routine when the event loop starts.

For a Posix based reference of creating a thread with this task, please see the demos in AWS IoT Embedded C SDK repository.

OTA_SignalEvent()

bool OTA_SignalEvent

(

const OtaEventMsg_t *const

pEventMsg

)

Signal event to the OTA Agent task.

This function adds the event to the back of event queue and used by internal OTA modules to signal agent task.

Parameters

[in]

pEventMsg

Event to be added to the queue

Returns

true If operation is successful, false If the event can not be added

Example Signal OTA agent that a new file block has been received over the http connection.

OtaHttpStatus_t handleDataFromHTTPService( const HTTPResponse_t * pResponse )
{
    // Assume otaEventBufferGet is a user defined, thread-safe function
    // that gets an available buffer from the pool of OTA buffers.
    OtaEventData_t * pData = otaEventBufferGet();
    OtaHttpStatus_t returnValue = OtaHttpRequestFailed;
    bool result = false;
 
    // Validate pResponse for correct data.
 
    if( pData != NULL )
    {
        memcpy( pData->data, pResponse->pBody, pResponse->bodyLen );
        pData->dataLength = pResponse->bodyLen;
 
        // Send job document received event.
        eventMsg.eventId = OtaAgentEventReceivedFileBlock;
        eventMsg.pEventData = pData;
        result = OTA_SignalEvent( &eventMsg );
 
        if( result )
        {
            returnValue = OtaHttpSuccess;
        }
    }
    return returnValue;
}

OTA_GetStatistics()

OtaErr_t OTA_GetStatistics

(

OtaAgentStatistics_t *

pStatistics

)

Get the statistics of OTA message packets.

Packet statistics are:

• Received: The number of OTA packets that have been received but not necessarily queued for processing by the OTA agent.
• Queued: The number of OTA packets that have been queued for processing. This implies there was a free message queue entry so it can be passed to the agent for processing.
• Processed: The number of OTA packets that have actually been processed.
• Dropped: The number of OTA packets that have been dropped because of either no queue or at shutdown cleanup.

Note

Calling OTA_Init will reset this statistic.

Returns

OtaErrNone if the statistics can be received successfully.

Example

// OTA library packet statistics per job.
OtaAgentStatistics_t otaStatistics = { 0 };
OtaErr_t otaErr = OtaErrNone;
 
// Get the current statistics from the agent.
otaErr = OTA_GetStatistics( &otaStatistics );
 
if( otaErr != OtaErrNone )
{
    printf( " Received: %u   Queued: %u   Processed: %u   Dropped: %u",
            otaStatistics.otaPacketsReceived,
            otaStatistics.otaPacketsQueued,
            otaStatistics.otaPacketsProcessed,
            otaStatistics.otaPacketsDropped );
