AWS Greengrass Discovery Support - clarifications

cy-prasanthkumar commented 4 years ago

Description of defect We are developing a code example using the "mbed-aws-client" library for Mbed OS target, and trying to perform "Greengrass core device discovery" in the application. Could you please help us in below clarifications:

As this library is using AWS IoT Device SDK at backend, does it also provide the APIs for Greengrass core device discovery for the application ?
If it is not supported in the existing release, are there plans to support it in future ? It would be helpful if we can get some rough timeline.

Target(s) affected by this defect ? Any Cypress target such as CY8CPROTO-062-4343W

Toolchain(s) (name and version) displaying this defect ? GCC_ARM v6.3.1

What version(s) of tools are you using. List all that apply (E.g. mbed-cli) mbed-cli v1.8.3

How is this defect reproduced ? N/A - This is not an issue. Requested for clarification.

Hi Prasanth - thanks for the comments. We haven't included support for Greengrass core device discovery as our understanding is that it requires a Linux based platform for Cortex-A type processors and requires support for containers, like Docker.

Have we misunderstood? If so, could you provide links to any documentation on how we could incorporate this into Mbed? Thanks.

Hi Andy,

I think we don't require Cortex-A type processor for only performing Greengrass device discovery but it is required if we are setting up the Greengrass device and registering it on AWS IoT console. Please refer to this library https://github.com/cypresssemiconductorco/aws-iot/ which supports AWS Greengrass device discovery with Mbed OS 5.15. This library doesn't support Mbed OS 6, so we preferred to take ARM's mbed-aws-client library and checking if we can do a similar device discovery.

@cy-prasanthkumar thank you for raising this issue.Please take a look at the following comments:

Could you add some more detail to the description? A good description should be at least 25 words. What target(s) are you using? What toolchain(s) are you using? What version of Mbed OS are you using (tag or sha)? It would help if you could also specify the versions of any tools you are using? How can we reproduce your issue?

NOTE: If there are fields which are not applicable then please just add 'n/a' or 'None'.This indicates to us that at least all the fields have been considered. Please update the issue header with the missing information, the issue will not be mirroredto our internal defect tracking system or investigated until this has been fully resolved.
