Digi Embedded Yocto allows you to add your CCCS-enabled applications to your image:
1. Create a recipe for your application
The recipe for your application must:
-
Depend on
cccs
:DEPENDS = "cccs"
-
Inherit from
pkgconfig
to use the pkg-config file.inherit pkgconfig
-
Include
cccs-daemon
package as a runtime dependency:RDEPENDS:${PN} = "cccs-daemon"
Digi Embedded Yocto includes some CCCS examples.
See dey-examples-cccs.bb
recipe.
SUMMARY = "My CCCS application"
[...]
DEPENDS = "cccs"
[...]
inherit pkgconfig
[...]
RDEPENDS:${PN} = "cccs-daemon"
[...]
This recipe does not include required resources to autostart the application on boot.
To do so, review the cccs_git.bb recipe.

2. Define CCCS packages to add to the image
By default, cccs-gs-demo
and dey-examples-cccs
packages are included in the resulting images.
To include your ConnectCore Cloud Services packages with your custom applications, define CCCS_PKGS
variable in your project’s conf/local.conf
file.
It must include a list with the CCCS-enabled application packages to install in the built image.
For example, to only include a custom package called cccs-example
add the following to the conf/local.conf
project file:
conf/local.conf
CCCS_PKGS = "cccs-example"
3. Set CCCS configuration
This step is optional and only necessary if you want to change the default configuration. |
You can either:
See Configure ConnectCore Cloud Services for more information on the configuration file. |
Set the device type
By default, Digi Embedded Yocto uses the value of MACHINE
variable as the device type in the cccs.conf
file.
To set a custom device type, define CCCS_DEVICE_TYPE
variable in your project’s conf/local.conf
file.
For example, use custom-device-type
instead of ccmp13-dvk
:
conf/local.conf
CCCS_DEVICE_TYPE = "custom-device-type"
Customize CCCS configuration
cccs.conf
, the configuration file for ConnectCore Cloud Services daemon, sets up its behavior.
The default file location is /etc/cccs.conf
.
You may want to change the default configuration to, for example, Optimize device data traffic.
The daemon configuration can be established:
-
At runtime by modifying the
cccs.conf
file in the root file system of your device and then restarting the daemon. -
At build time by appending your own configuration files to the
cccs
package.
To create images that include your own configuration file, define CCCS_CONF_PATH
variable in your project’s conf/local.conf
file.
For example:
conf/local.conf
CCCS_CONF_PATH = "/home/user/my-cccs.conf"
Defining CCCS_DEVICE_TYPE variable has no effect when overwriting the configuration file.

4. Build your firmware images
Once the recipe is created and the project configured, you can:
-
Build the image. For example,
core-image-base
:$ bitbake core-image-base
See Build images and Update firmware.
-
Build a software update package. For example,
core-image-base-swu
:$ bitbake core-image-base-swu
Use these recipes or your own to create your firmware.
