doesn't work, find the IP address from your internet router instead.)ssh ubuntu@ubuntu
- Run the following to update the system and install
unzip
:sudo apt update \ && sudo apt upgrade -y \ && sudo apt install -y unzip
- Run
and add the following lines to enable the CAN hat:
sudo nano /boot/firmware/usercfg.txt
dtparam=spi=on dtoverlay=mcp2515-can0,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=23 dtoverlay=mcp2515-can1,oscillator=16000000,interrupt=25 dtoverlay=spi-bcm2835-overlay
- Save the file (
CTRL+O
,CTRL+X
) and reboot the Raspberry Pi (sudo reboot
).
These steps require an Ubuntu 20.04 development machine with 10 GB free disk space. If necessary, you can use a local Intel x86_64 (amd64) machine. We recommended using the following instructions to launch an AWS EC2 Graviton (arm64) instance. For more information about Amazon EC2 pricing, see Amazon EC2 On-Demand Pricing.
-
Sign in to your AWS account.
-
Open the Launch CloudFormation Template.
-
Enter the Name of an existing SSH key pair in your account from here.
- Don't include the file suffix
.pem
. - If you don't have an SSH key pair,
create one and
download the corresponding
.pem
file. Be sure to update the file permissions:chmod 400 <PATH_TO_PEM>
- Don't include the file suffix
-
Select I acknowledge that AWS CloudFormation might create IAM resources with custom names.
-
Choose Create stack. Wait until the status of the Stack is CREATE_COMPLETE. This can take up to five minutes.
-
Choose the Outputs tab, copy the EC2 IP address, and connect from your local machine through SSH to the development machine.
ssh -i <PATH_TO_PEM> ubuntu@<EC2_IP_ADDRESS>
Next, compile the AWS IoT FleetWise Edge Agent software for the ARM 64-bit architecture of the processor present in the Raspberry Pi.
-
On your development machine, clone the latest AWS IoT FleetWise Edge Agent software from GitHub by running the following:
git clone https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-fleetwise-edge.git ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-edge \ && cd ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-edge
-
Install the AWS IoT FleetWise Edge Agent dependencies. The command below installs the following Ubuntu packages for compiling the Edge Agent for ARM 64-bit:
libssl-dev libboost-system-dev libboost-log-dev libboost-thread-dev build-essential cmake unzip git wget curl zlib1g-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libsnappy-dev default-jre libasio-dev
.Additionally, it installs the following:
jsoncpp protobuf aws-sdk-cpp
. (If you are using a local x86_64 development machine, use theinstall-deps-cross-arm64.sh
script instead.)sudo -H ./tools/install-deps-native.sh
-
To compile AWS IoT FleetWise Edge Agent software, run the following command. (If you are using a local x86_64 development machine, use the
build-fwe-cross-arm64.sh
script instead.)./tools/build-fwe-native.sh
On the development machine, create an IoT Thing with the name fwdemo-rpi
and provision its
credentials by running the following command. The AWS IoT FleetWise Edge Agent binary and its
configuration files are packaged into a ZIP file that is ready for deployment to the Raspberry Pi.
mkdir -p ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-deploy && cd ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-deploy \
&& cp -r ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-edge/tools . \
&& mkdir -p build/src/executionmanagement \
&& cp ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-edge/build/src/executionmanagement/aws-iot-fleetwise-edge \
build/src/executionmanagement/ \
&& mkdir -p config && cd config \
&& ../tools/provision.sh \
--vehicle-name fwdemo-rpi \
--certificate-pem-outfile certificate.pem \
--private-key-outfile private-key.key \
--endpoint-url-outfile endpoint.txt \
--vehicle-name-outfile vehicle-name.txt \
&& ../tools/configure-fwe.sh \
--input-config-file ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-edge/configuration/static-config.json \
--output-config-file config-0.json \
--log-color Yes \
--vehicle-name `cat vehicle-name.txt` \
--endpoint-url `cat endpoint.txt` \
--can-bus0 can0 \
&& cd .. && zip -r aws-iot-fleetwise-deploy.zip .
-
On your local machine, copy the deployment ZIP file from the machine with Amazon EC2 to your local machine by running the following command:
scp -i <PATH_TO_PEM> ubuntu@<EC2_IP_ADDRESS>:aws-iot-fleetwise-deploy/aws-iot-fleetwise-deploy.zip .
-
On your local machine, copy the deployment ZIP file from your local machine to the Raspberry Pi by running the following command:
scp aws-iot-fleetwise-deploy.zip ubuntu@ubuntu:
-
As described in step 4 of setting up the Raspberry Pi, connect through SSH to the Raspberry Pi. On the Raspberry Pi, install AWS IoT FleetWise Edge Agent as a service by running the following command:
mkdir -p ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-deploy && cd ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-deploy \ && unzip -o ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-deploy.zip \ && sudo mkdir -p /etc/aws-iot-fleetwise \ && sudo cp config/* /etc/aws-iot-fleetwise \ && sudo ./tools/install-fwe.sh
-
Install the can-isotp module:
sudo -H ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-deploy/tools/install-socketcan.sh
-
Run
sudo nano /usr/local/bin/setup-socketcan.sh
and add the following lines to bring up the
can0
andcan1
interfaces at startup:ip link set up can0 txqueuelen 1000 type can bitrate 500000 restart-ms 100 ip link set up can1 txqueuelen 1000 type can bitrate 500000 restart-ms 100
-
Restart the setup-socketcan service and the IoT FleetWise Edge Agent service:
sudo systemctl restart setup-socketcan sudo systemctl restart fwe@0
-
To verify the IoT FleetWise Edge Agent is running and is connected to the cloud, check the Edge Agent log files:
sudo journalctl -fu fwe@0 --output=cat
- Look for this message to verify:
[INFO ] [AwsIotConnectivityModule.cpp:161] [connect()] [Connection completed successfully]
- Use the troubleshooting information and solutions in the AWS IoT FleetWise Developer Guide to help resolve issues with AWS IoT FleetWise Edge Agent.
- Look for this message to verify:
-
On the development machine, install the AWS IoT FleetWise cloud demo script dependencies by running the following commands. The script installs the following Ubuntu packages:
python3 python3-pip
, and then installs the following PIP packages:wrapt plotly pandas cantools
.cd ~/aws-iot-fleetwise-edge/tools/cloud \ && sudo -H ./install-deps.sh
-
On the development machine, deploy a heartbeat campaign that periodically collects OBD data by running the following commands:
./demo.sh --vehicle-name fwdemo-rpi --campaign-file campaign-obd-heartbeat.json
The demo script does the following:
- Registers your AWS account with AWS IoT FleetWise, if it's not already registered.
- Creates a signal catalog. First, the demo script adds standard OBD signals based on
obd-nodes.json
. Next, it adds CAN signals in a flat signal list based on the DBC filehscan.dbc
. - Creates a vehicle model, or model manifest, that references the signal catalog with every OBD and DBC signal.
- Activates the vehicle model.
- Creates a decoder manifest linked to the vehicle model using
obd-decoders.json
for decoding OBD signals from the network interfaces defined innetwork-interfaces.json
. - Imports the CAN signal decoding information from
hscan.dbc
to the decoder manifest. - Updates the decoder manifest to set the status as
ACTIVE
. - Creates a vehicle with an ID equal to
fwdemo-rpi
, which is also the name passed toprovision.sh
. - Creates a fleet.
- Associates the vehicle with the fleet.
- Creates a campaign from
campaign-obd-heartbeat.json
. This contains a time-based collection scheme that collects OBD data and targets the campaign at the fleet. - Approves the campaign.
- Waits until the campaign status is
HEALTHY
, which means the campaign was deployed to the fleet. - Waits 30 seconds and then downloads the collected data from Amazon Timestream.
- Saves the data to an HTML file.
If you enabled S3 upload destination by passing the option
--enable-s3-upload
, the demo script will additionally:- Create S3 bucket for collected data for S3 campaigns, if not already created
- Create IAM roles and policies required for the service to write data to the S3 resources
- Creates 2 additional campaigns from
campaign-brake-event.json
. One campaign will upload data to to S3 in JSON format, one to S3 in parquet format - Wait 20 minutes for the data to propagate to S3 and then downloads it
- Save the data to an HTML file
When the script completes, you receive the path to the output HTML file on your local machine. To download it, use
scp
, and then open it in your web browser:scp -i <PATH_TO_PEM> ubuntu@<EC2_IP_ADDRESS>:<PATH_TO_HTML_FILE> .
-
To explore the collected data, click and drag on the graph to zoom in. Alternatively, if your AWS account is enrolled with QuickSight or Amazon Managed Grafana, you can use them to browse the data from Amazon Timestream directly.
