grisp_connect

GRiSP.io Client Library for GRiSP. This library enables secure communication between your GRiSP2 board and the GRiSP.io services using Mutual TLS (mTLS). To get started, add this application as a dependency in your GRiSP2 project.

⚠️ Note: If you plan to use the API calls related to grisp_updater_grisp2, make sure to add grisp_updater_grisp2 as a dependency in your project as well.

Usage

Option 1. Use the rebar3_grisp plugin

The configure method of the rebar3_grisp version >= 2.6.0 will add grisp_connect with the needed configurations to your GRiSP application. See GRiSP Wiki/Use-your-GRiSP-2-board-with-GRiSP.io.

Option 2. Add grisp_connect Manually to your Application

Add

{dep, [{grisp_connect, "1.0.0"}]}

to your rebar.config file.

If you still need to link your device configure the device linking token in your sys.config:

[ {grisp_connect, [
    {device_linking_token, <<"...">>}
]}].

You can find your device linking token on GRiSP.io/grisp_manager under "How to Link a Device/Option 2: Manual Linking (Ethernet / Wifi)".

You can also skip this configuration and insert the token manually later.

Further Steps

Check whether the board is connected

> grisp_connect:is_connected().
true
> grisp_connect:ping().
{ok,<<"pong">>}

Link your Device to your GRiSP.io Account

> grisp_connect:link_device(<<"...">>).

Or, if your token is configured in the environment:

> grisp_connect:link_device().

Troubleshooting:

grisp_connect:link_device may fail with the following errors.

Common Errors:

  • token_expired: regenerate one from the web page
  • invalid_token: please double check you typed it correctly
  • token_undefined: you called grisp_connect:link_device/0 without setting device_linking_token
  • disconnected: check that your board can connect
  • device_already_linked: please do not steal GRiSP boards 😏 if you need to unlink a GRiSP board see below...

Need to Unlink a Device?

We currently do not expose a public API to unlink a Device. Please reach out to us for assistance.

If you encounter any problems or have questions, don't hesitate to contact support. Happy coding!

Environment Options

connect

This option is set to true as default. Set it to false to prevent automatic connection to GRiSP.io on boot. In such case the state machine that maintains the connection can be started manually using grisp_connect_client:connect().

ntp

An optional NTP client can be started using option {ntp, true}. Such client is disabled by default ({ntp, false}), and is not required to authenticate with GRiSP.io. The client sets the time using grisp_rtems:clock_set/1

ws_request_timeout

Accepts an integer that represents time in milliseconds, default value is 5_000. Allows to tweak the timeout of each API request going through the websocket.

ws_ping_timeout

Accepts an integer that represents time in milliseconds, default value is 60_000. Allows to tweak the timeout between expected ping frames from the server. If the timeout is exceeded, the socket is closed and a new connection is attempted.

logs_interval

Accepts an integer that represents time in milliseconds, default value is 2_000. Sets the intervall between each log batch dispatch to grisp.io.

logs_batch_size

Accepts an integer that represents the maximum number of logs that can be batched together, default value is 100.

Custom TLS options

TLS settings are managed through the grisp_cryptoauth TLS options.

grisp_connect sets the following options as default values if no tls_server_trusted_certs_cb is setup. Refer to the grisp_cryptoauth README in case you want to overrride the default certifi CAs.

    % Example sys.config
    [
        ...
        {grisp_cryptoauth, [
            {tls_server_trusted_certs_cb, {certifi, cacerts, []}}
        ]}
    ]

See all Logs on GRiSP.io

Once this app is started, it forwards all logs to GRiSP.io without the need of setting up anything. The only logs that we do not catch are the ones generated before grisp_connect boots. If you want to see ALL logs, even from applications that boot before grisp_connect, you need to disable the default logger handler and set the grisp_connect handler as the default one. This involves changing the kernel and grisp_connect app configuration settings in your sys.config file.

You can copy paste these settings. Here we both swap the default logger handler with the grisp_connect logger handler and also request it to print logs to stdout.

% sys.config
[
    {kernel, [
        % Disable 'default' handler (which buffers all log events in logger).
        {logger, [{handler, default, undefined}]}
    ]},
    {grisp_connect,[
        {logger, [
            % Enable the grisp_connect handler as default,
            % so that it will receive all events from boot
            {handler,
             default, % name
             grisp_connect_logger_bin, % module
             #{
                formatter => {grisp_connect_logger_bin, #{
                    % To see logs printed on the USB serial appoint a logger
                    % formatter module of your choice and set the stdout
                    % configuration stdout => {Formatter, FormatterConfig}
                    stdout => {logger_formatter, #{}}
                }}
             }
            }
        ]}
    ]}
].

Development

Local Development

Add an entry in your local hosts file so the domain www.seawater.local points to your local development server.

Start a local development shell:

rebar3 as local shell

Run tests:

rebar3 ct

To run the tests it might be necessary that you clean out the _build folder in case you compiled with another profile before:

rm -rf _build

Development on GRiSP Hardware

Add an entry in the grisp hosts file so the domain www.seawater.local points to your local development server.

e.g. using ifconfig command (MacOS and older linux):

echo "$(ifconfig | grep 'inet ' | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk '{ print $2 }' | head -n 1) www.seawater.local" >> grisp/default/common/deploy/files/etc/hosts

] e.g. using ip command (Newer linux):

echo "$(ip addr show | grep 'inet ' | grep -v 127.0.0.1 | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d/ -f1 | head -n 1) www.seawater.local" >> grisp/default/common/deploy/files/etc/hosts

To deploy the release, configure rebar3_grisp's deploy configuration in rebar.config and then run:

rebar3 as dev grisp deploy

Production on GRiSP Hardware

To deploy on GRiSP hardware for production, configure rebar3_grisp's deploy configuration in rebar.config and then run:

rebar3 as prod grisp deploy
