Cloud File System

Demonstrates the ZentriOS DMS Cloud File System API

API Features Demonstrated

Platforms

This app works on:

Requirements and Prerequisites

This app requires a ZentriOS evaluation board. See the Platforms list above.

Description

The DMS Could File Service manages assets (product files) and device files, independently of files in product bundles. A ZentriOS device can upload device files to the Cloud File System. A device can download a product asset for the product to which it is activated, but cannot upload a product asset.

This app demonstrates using the native API Cloud File System library to upload device files and download device files and product assets.

Files are encrypted and decrypted using the system.security_key. In this demonstration the key is defined in the source code.

Files are encrypted after downloading from the Cloud File System, before storing on the device file system. Files are decrypted after reading from the device file system, before uploading to the Cloud File System.

The app defines a number of Cloud File System commands which can be used from the ZentriOS terminal.

Usage Instructions

Open a ZentriOS serial terminal to the device. See Getting Started, Opening a ZentriOS Terminal.

This app assumes your ZentriOS device is set up with the credentials to join your local network. If you have not already set up network credentials, on the ZentriOS terminal, run the commands:

network_up -s
save

See the Wi-Fi Command API documentation for network_up and save.

The following notes on using the app are based on an app compiled for ZentriOS-WZ-3.1.

We recommend setting the device to autorun this app:

> set zap.auto_run cloudfs.zap
Set OK
> save
Saved
Success
> reboot

The app displays output similar to the following:

Now you can use the commands the app has created. List device files associated with your device on the DMS. Sample output shows demonstration files created for this purpose:

> list device
Request GET /files
Connecting (https): ota.zentri.com:443
Starting TLS
Name                                   Size    CRC Created

If you log into the DMS, select this device, and choose the Files tab, the files listed match this output:

List product files associated with your product on the DMS.

Download a device file:

> download device testcloudfs1.txt

List files using the ls command:

> ls

...
#  1   3344     1.0.0  cloudfs.zap
...
#  6     57     1.0.0  testcloudfs1.txt

Open the downloaded file for reading. Note that the local version is encrypted with the system.security_key specified in the source code.

Implementation

The cloud_filesystem.c source sets up the commands and defines their functionality using the DMS Cloud File System library (see API Features Demonstrated above).
