Draft build instructions:
Xedge on NuttX
==============
Xedge is a robust IoT and web framework that is designed for
microcontrollers. It is based on the industrial-grade Barracuda Application
Server, designed for seamless OEM integration. Xedge accelerates embedded
firmware development by providing a flexible, Lua-based environment and a full
stack of industrial-strength protocols, including:
- OPC UA
- Modbus
- MQTT
- SMQ
- WebSockets
- HTTP/HTTPS
This Xedge port for NuttX comes pre-configured and requires:
- TCP/IP v4 and v6 support
- File System support
- 2 MB RAM allocated statically in ``xedge/xedge_main.c``
.. note::
These instructions set up Xedge in **development mode**. Xedge supports
many configuration options that differ between development and production
builds. For production settings and optimization, refer to the general Xedge
build instructions (details below).
Getting Started
---------------
To compile Xedge for NuttX, follow these steps:
1. **Prepare the Xedge apps directory.**
Navigate to the Xedge application folder:
.. code-block:: bash
cd nuttxspace/apps/examples/xedge
2. **Clone the required dependencies.**
.. code-block:: bash
git clone https://github.com/RealTimeLogic/BAS.git
git clone https://github.com/RealTimeLogic/BAS-Resources.git
3. **Build the Xedge resources.**
Move into the build directory:
.. code-block:: bash
cd BAS-Resources/build/
Run the Xedge resource build script. The following command answers the
script prompts automatically:
.. code-block:: bash
printf "n\nl\nn\n" | bash Xedge.sh
4. **Copy the generated file.**
Copy ``XedgeZip.c`` to the Xedge example directory:
.. code-block:: bash
cp XedgeZip.c ../../BAS/examples/xedge/
5. **Configure NuttX for Xedge.**
Return to the NuttX top-level directory and start the configuration tool:
.. code-block:: bash
make menuconfig
In the configuration menu:
- Enable the Xedge application:
``Application Configuration -> Examples -> Xedge``
- Enable dynamic socket callback allocation:
``Networking Support -> Socket Support -> Enable dynamic socket
callback allocation`` (set value to **1**)
- Increase the number of dynamic TCP connections:
``Networking Support -> TCP/IP Networking -> Dynamic TCP/IP connections
allocation`` (set value to **at least 20**)
- Enable automatic time synchronization via SNTP:
``Application Configuration -> Network Utilities -> NTP Client``
- Make sure syslog is enabled:
``Device Drivers -> System Logging -> Enable system logging``
``Device Drivers -> System Logging -> Log to /dev/console ``
6. **Build NuttX.**
Save your changes, exit ``menuconfig``, and build:
.. code-block:: bash
make
Running Xedge
-------------
Once NuttX is flashed and running, bring up the network interface and start
time synchronization:
.. code-block:: bash
ifup eth0
xedge
