1. Article purpose[edit source]
The purpose of this article is to explain how to integrate Amazon Web Service (AWS) IoT Greengrass[1] on top of OpenSTLinux running on the STM32MP157C-DK2 Discovery kit.
This article explains step by step how to configure Linux® software to support AWS IoT Greengrass.
Refer to the article How to integrate AWS IoT Greengrass on top of openSTLinux distribution for a complete secure solution (Greengrass Core + TPMv2.0), on top of the OpenSTLinux software distribution package.
2. Prerequisites[edit source]
2.1. Hardware prerequisites[edit source]
- STM32MP157C-DK2
For more information on this STM32 Discovery kit and how to get started with it, go to Getting_started/STM32MP1_boards/STM32MP157x-DK2.
2.2. Software prerequisites[edit source]
The STM32MP157C-DK2 Discovery kit must be populated. To do this, first install the board as described in STM32MP157C-DK2 Let's start article, then follow the procedure below.
2.3. Module 1: environment setup for Greengrass running on an STM32MP1 system[edit source]
1. Update your STM32MP1 system for AWS IoT Greengrass. First, run the following commands from a local STM32MP1 terminal window or from an SSH terminal window:
Board $> adduser --system ggc_user
Board $> addgroup --system ggc_group
2. Fix the DNS error (only if you are using stm32mpuv1:STM32MP15 ecosystem release note - v1.0.0, not needed for next releases):
Board $> rm /etc/resolv.conf
Board $> ln -s /run/systemd/resolve/resolv.conf /etc/resolv.conf
Board $> systemctl restart systemd-networkd
3. Make sure all required dependencies are present by downloading and running the Greengrass dependency checker from the AWS IoT Greengrass Samples repository on GitHub. These commands unzip and run the dependency checker script in your $HOME directory.
Board $> cd /home/root/ Board $> mkdir greengrass-dependency-checker-GGCv1.9.0 Board $> cd greengrass-dependency-checker-GGCv1.9.0 Board $> wget https://github.com/aws-samples/aws-greengrass-samples/raw/master/greengrass-dependency-checker-GGCv1.9.0.zip Board $> unzip greengrass-dependency-checker-GGCv1.9.0.zip Board $> modprobe configs Board $> ./check_ggc_dependencies | more

Python 2.7 is required to run this tutorial. The check_ggc_dependencies script might generate warnings about the missing optional Node.js and Java prerequisites. You can ignore them. |
Your STM32MP1 configuration is now complete. Proceed with Module 2: Installing the Greengrass Core Software.
