Features:

MQTT client with TLS 1.3 using wolfMQTT and wolfSSL
FreeRTOS POSIX simulation
wolfIP network stack integration
Network configuration: 10.10.0.1 (broker), 10.10.0.10 (client)
Publish/subscribe on test/topic
Test scripts and documentation included

I did more testing with the full stack example yesterday. Still getting connect errors from the wolfMQTT client

Connecting to MQTT broker at 10.10.0.1:8883...

The test_mqtt.sh does at least connect to the broker, but is failing with a TLS error:

Here is the mosquitto config I am using:

Devin created this wolfIP PR which seemed ridiculous, so I just closed it:
wolfSSL/wolfip#3

I decided to back up a little and just try the https example that Reda reviewed. That is not working for me either, so I must have something configed wrong:

Testing HTTPS server with curl...

(aside) I'm also getting a protocol error on this one. Did not test the final version from 491 review eventually, I'll start from there.

danielinux · 2025-03-14T13:39:48Z

(aside) @embhorn the demo from 491 works for me on master. Perhaps your tap device is not being correctly configured? I'm looking at fixing the issues in this demo now.

+3. Configure Mosquitto broker with TLS:


It would be less invasive to launch an instance of mosquitto configured to listen on a different port (eg. 118883). That would remove the need to edit a system file and mess with the mosquitto service.

why use a hard coded path? Fails on my system.

Only ping if inactive for n seconds (where n is timeout value).

This is just a tight while loop:

Waiting for MQTT messages... Processing MQTT messages (stub implementation) Sending MQTT ping (stub implementation) Processing MQTT messages (stub implementation) Sending MQTT ping (stub implementation) Processing MQTT messages (stub implementation) Sending MQTT ping (stub implementation) Processing MQTT messages (stub implementation) Sending MQTT ping (stub implementation) Processing MQTT messages (stub implementation) Sending MQTT ping (stub implementation)

It now builds and executes with the stub, but does not connect / subscribe / publish. What is the point of the wolfmqtt_stub code?

+# wolfMQTT source files - use stub implementation

Why use the stub instead of the actual client? What is the purpose of the stub?
