Overview
Lab 1 will show you how to open an existing TCP/IP MPLAB Harmony 3 Project and using the MPLAB Harmony Configuration (MHC)
Tool. The project will incorporate basic TCP/IP functionality to allow the SAM E70 Xplained Ultra to connect to an Ethernet Network,
along with a simple application to flash a “Heartbeat” LED every 500ms. Once the project is generated and programmed onto the
development kit, you will use a number of techniques to validate that the PIC is connected to a network and determine its IP
Address. The concepts that will be covered in this lab include:
• Open a SAM E70 MPLAB X Project
• Configuring the MPLAB Harmony path
• Configuring the TCP/IP Stack options, including:
o
Network Configuration of the Host Name
o
TCP/IP Services including Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Client, ICMPv4 Server (for Ping testing) &
Announce Discovery Tool
o
Bandwidth testing with “iperf”
• Configuring the Harmony Console and Command Service for monitoring and control of the TCP/IP stack via a Terminal
Client running on a USB CDC Interface (Emulated RS232 COM Port).
Toggling the IO Pin that drives USER_LED0 on the SAM E70 Xplained UltraSAM E70 Xplained Ultra
• Using the Windows Command Line Ping Tool and the Microchip TCP/IP Discovery tools to test connectivity of your SAM

Lab 2
Overview
In many IoT applications, JSON is commonly used as a format in order to transport high-level data in an effective way. It is generally
an alternative to XML. Consider the following example of describing a person named Raji-Niklas Ruppert in JSON-format:
{
“firstName” : “Raji-Niklas”,
“lastName” : “Ruppert”,
“age” : 30,
“address” : {
“streetAddress” : “2355 W Chandler Blvd”,
“city” : “Chandler”,
“state” : “AZ”,
“postalCode” : “85224”,
}
}
Using this format makes it very easy to communicate between applications requiring information about Raji-Niklas Ruppert.
The advantage of using JSON in embedded applications is that because it is easy to read for humans, it is simple to parse and make
use of. Due to this, it is commonly used to transmit data between a server and a web application. In this lab we are going to
implement an embedded application fetching weather data from a web server. When the application accesses a specific URL
specifying a command with a geographic location, the web server will respond by sending the current weather in JSON-format to
the web application. The application will be running on our SAME70-boards.
In this lab we will only do very simple parsing (which is one of the strengths using JSON), using standard string operations. There
are however more sophisticated parsers which can be used for more robust and complex applications, while still only consuming a
very limited footprint.
The weather service used in this lab is https://openweathermap.org/. With OpenWeatherMap, there are several services such as
hourly forecast, UV Index, Air pollution and more, all outputting in JSON. With the free account there are limited option to only use
the “Current Weather Data” service. With this service you can request the current weather from different geographic locations.
Depending on by which method (City ID, ZIP Code, Coordinates etc.) the URL call will be slightly different. A full description of the
API can be found here: https://openweathermap.org/current. For this lab we will fetch current weather by city. The following URL
for this is:
27
23075 IoT6 Simplifying TCP/IP Applications with MPLAB® Harmony
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={CITY}&APPID={API Key}
The API Key is unique to each user. This is also how OpenWeatherMap tracks how many requests you attempt. The API Key is a 15byte long hexadecimal string. It can look like this:
ed3da58111974261002c2af4f8e8e81f
In most JSON API:s there is also a well defined format specified, which tells you where the different objects and strings are located
in the JSON-message. From OpenWeatherMap:
{"coord":{"lon":-122.09,"lat":37.39},
"sys":{"type":3,"id":168940,"message":0.0297,"country":"US","sunrise":1427723751,"sunset":14
27768967},
"weather":[{"id":800,"main":"Clear","description":"Sky is Clear","icon":"01n"}],
"base":"stations",
"main":{"temp":285.68,"humidity":74,"pressure":1016.8,"temp_min":284.82,"temp_max":286.48},
"wind":{"speed":0.96,"deg":285.001},
"clouds":{"all":0},
"dt":1427700245,
"id":0,
"name":"Mountain View",
"cod":200}

Application Flow
Lab Outline
• The pre-made template is built from the Harmony example project, tcpip_tcp_client.
• First, we will need to declare the APPID_KEY.
• We will then set the host & port of the remote connection static as we will only connect to OpenWeatherMap.
• After this, we will redirect the user input from the command console to a char* buffer to be used in the application.
• Now we have all information required to build the URL from the introduction.
• When we have connected and requested the data, we need to parse the resulting JSON- string (the whole JSON containing
the current weather will be in one string).
• Typically, good practice when you debug JSON-strings is to print the resulting string for you to view with your own eyes that
it looks correct.
• At last, redirect the application to go back to accepting user input.
29
23075 IoT6 Simplifying TCP/IP Applications with MPLAB® Harmony
Lab Procedure
1. Start by closing any open projects in MPLAB X IDE.
2. Open a new project and choose lab3 -> Firmware -> sam_e70_xult_freertos.X.
3. Open the file app.c located under source files.
4. Go to (CTRL+F) “TODO A”. Enter the correct APPID_KEY. Either you create your own account on OpenWeatherMap or you
take the one written I the class.
5. Now scroll down to “TODO B”, the function APP_Initialize.
6. Set the application to connect to the host api.openweathermap.org and the port to 80. This is set to 80 because this call will
be over HTTP.
7. Re-direct the user input from APP_URL_BUFFER to the cityBuffer array. This can be done in several ways, but one is to use
the built-in C function snprintf(char* dest, size_t size, const char *format, …). The first argument is the destination buffer
(cityBuffer), the second one is the max size to be copied (128, because that is specified in the declaration) and the
formatted input in this scenario is APP_URL_BUFFER. This can be found in “TODO C”.
8. Scroll down to “TODO D”, the state APP_TCPIP_WAIT_FOR_CONNECTION. In this state we will wait for a connection to be
established. Once established we will send a GET command with the full URL in the format specified in the introduction:
http://api.openweathermap.org/data/2.5/weather?q={CITY}&APPID={API Key}.
9. Once the request is sent to the server, the application will go into the APP_TCIPIP_WAIT_FOR_RESPONSE state.
Once the connection is closed, set the next state to be APP_STATE_JSON_PARSE_RETRIEVED_DATA.
30
23075 IoT6 Simplifying TCP/IP Applications with MPLAB® Harmony
10. Now go down in the state APP_STATE_JSON_PARSE_RETRIEVED_DATA. One of the first things we want to do after we
have sorted out the JSON-part of the retrieved data is to print the raw JSON-string. This helps us debug & analyse.
11. In a real application, we would need to first know the format of the JSON message in order to be able to parse it correctly.
To make this lab more efficiently, we will do this backwards. If you look on this example piece of API response from
OpenWeatherMap found in the introduction section to this lab. Looking at the format from the API, we need to calculate
in what position the value of humidity start. The function strstr will cut the resultingJson string at the first occurrence of
“humidity”. A hint is to look at the other blocks where you parse the temperature, pressure and main weather.
12. Once the parsing is done, we wish to print the values of the main weather, pressure, temperature and humidity.
13. Now to complete the loop, we want to go back to the APP_TCPIP_WAITING_FOR_COMMAND state once the JSON-parsing
and printing is done.

TCP is initialized.
Parameters
Parameter
Description
hTCP
The socket from which data is to be written.
Returns
Type
Description
uint16_t
The number of bytes available to be written in the TCP TX buffer.
TCPIP_TCP_StringPut Function
This function writes a null-terminated string to a TCP socket. The null-terminator is not copied to the socket.
Function Prototype
const uint8_t* TCPIP_TCP_StringPut(
TCP_SOCKET hTCP,
const uint8_t* Data
);
Preconditions
TCP is initialized.
Parameters
Parameter
Description
hTCP
The socket from which data is to be written.
const uint8_t*
Data
Returns
Type
Description
const uint8_t*
Pointer to the byte following the last byte written to the socket. If this
pointer does not dereference to a NULL byte, the buffer became full or
the socket is not connected.
TCPIP_TCP_WasReset Function
This function is a self-clearing semaphore indicating whether or not a socket has been disconnected since the previous call. This
function works for all possible disconnections: a call to TCPIP_TCP_Disconnect, a FIN from the remote node, or an
acknowledgment timeout caused by the loss of a network link. It also returns true after the first call to TCPIP_TCP_Initialize.
Applications should use this function to reset their state machines.
Function Prototype
bool TCPIP_TCP_WasReset(
TCP_SOCKET hTCP
);

Description
bool
true: the socket was disconnected since the previous call
false: the socket remained connected since the previous call
UDP Socket Management Functions
TCPIP_UDP_ArrayGet Function
This function reads an array of bytes from the UDP socket, while adjusting the current read pointer and decrementing the
remaining bytes available. TCPIP_UDP_GetIsReady should be used before calling this function to get the number of the available
bytes in the socket.
Function Prototype
uint16_t TCPIP_UDP_ArrayGet(
UDP_SOCKET hUDP,
uint8_t * cData,
uint16_t wDataLen
);
Preconditions
UDP socket should have been opened with TCPIP_UDP_ServerOpen/TCPIP_UDP_ClientOpen.
hUDP - valid socket
Parameters
Parameter
Description
hUDP
UDP Socket Handle
cData
The buffer to receive the bytes being read. If NULL, the bytes are simply
discarded
wDataLen
Number of bytes to be read from the socket.
Returns
Type
Description
uint16_t
The number of bytes successfully read from the UDP buffer. If this value is
less than wDataLen, then the buffer was emptied and no more data is
available.

TCPIP_UDP_Close Function
Closes a UDP socket and frees the handle. Call this function to release a socket and return it to the pool for use by future
communications.
Function Prototoype
void TCPIP_UDP_Close(
UDP_SOCKET hUDP
);
Preconditions
UDP socket should have been opened with TCPIP_UDP_ServerOpen/TCPIP_UDP_ClientOpen.
hUDP - valid socket
Parameters
Parameter
Description
hUDP
UDP Socket Handle
Returns
Type
Description
void
None
TCPIP_UDP_GetIsReady Function
This function will return the number of bytes that are available in the specified UDP socket RX buffer. The UDP socket
queues incoming RX packets in an internal queue. If currently there is no RX packet processed (as a result of retrieving all
available bytes with TCPIP_UDP_ArrayGet, for example), this call will advance the RX packet to be processed to the next
queued packet. If a RX packet is currently processed, the call will return the number of bytes left to be read from this
packet.
Function Prototype
uint16_t TCPIP_UDP_GetIsReady(
UDP_SOCKET hUDP
);
Preconditions
UDP socket should have been opened with TCPIP_UDP_ServerOpen/TCPIP_UDP_ClientOpen.
hUDP parameter is a valid socket
Parameters
Parameter
Description
hUDP
UDP Socket Handle
Returns
Type
Description
uint16_t
The number of bytes that can be read from the socket.

TCPIP_UDP_ServerOpen Function
Provides a unified method for opening UDP server sockets.
Function Prototype
UDP_SOCKET TCPIP_UDP_ServerOpen(
IP_ADDRESS_TYPE addType,
UDP_PORT localPort,
IP_MULTI_ADDRESS* localAddress
);
Preconditions
UDP is initialized.
Parameters
Parameter
Description
IP_ADDRESS_TYPE addType
The type of address being used.
IP_ADDRESS_TYPE_IPV4 or IP_ADDRESS_TYPE_IPV6.
UDP_PORT localPort
UDP port on which to listen for connections
IP_MULTI_ADDRESS* localAddress
Local IP address to use. Can be 0 (NULL) if any incoming interface will do.
Returns
Type
Description
UDP_SOCKET
Handle - Save this handle and use it when calling all other UDP APIs. If no
sockets of the specified type were available to be opened, the handle will
contain a value equal to INVALID_SOCKET.
TCPIP_UDP_SocketInfoGet Function
This function will fill a user passed UDP_SOCKET_INFO structure with status of the selected socket
Function Prototype
bool TCPIP_UDP_SocketInfoGet(
UDP_SOCKET hUDP,
UDP_SOCKET_INFO* pInfo
);
Preconditions
UDP socket should have been opened with TCPIP_UDP_ServerOpen()/TCPIP_UDP_ClientOpen()().
hUDP - valid socket
pInfo - valid address of a UDP_SOCKET_INFO structure
