Once an application is compiled and ready for deployment via AOS UI, use the following process to create and sign a package that can then be uploaded.

If the application is a oneM2M AE and has not yet been registered in AOS, first obtain the credential ID, otherwise skip to Code Signing Tokens.

AE Registration Credentials (Optional)

In AOS UI:

  • Select More → System Settings

  • Click the AE Registration Credentials tab

  • Enter the Application Identified (App-ID) of the application to be deployed, then click the Generate Credential ID button

Certificate Signing Request

In a terminal at the same directory as the app binary and manifest.json:

Make sure the SDK environment is sourced (. AOSSDKPATH/environment-setup-*) or run the SDK subshell (AOSSDKPATH/aossdkshell)

The default RA is https://policynet-ra.m2m.aos:18090. If this is not the correct RA url for your environment, use the --URL option to specify it.

If the hostname of the RA does not resolve to an IP address, you'll either need to use the --URL option and replace the hostname with its IP address in the url, or add an entry in your /etc/hosts file.

  • Run the following command in the terminal, the app-id is not required if running within the same directory as the manifest.json

    aoscsr [--app-id APP_ID] [--url URL] token
example: aoscsr VVV123SSSS444BBBQ

  • Upon success, you should see the following:

    Sending Certificate Signing Request
...Success
Sending Certificate Confirmation
...Success

Updated certs and key saved to:  certs

Packaging and Signing the App

In a terminal at the same directory as the app binary and manifest.json:

Make sure the SDK environment is sourced (. AOSSDKPATH/environment-setup-*) or run the SDK subshell (AOSSDKPATH/aossdkshell)

  • Run the following command in the terminal to create an aos package

    aospkg

  • Upon success, you should see the following:

    Created aos_sample_app-1.0.aos

  • Sign the package using the certs obtained from the CSR above by running the following command

    aossignpkg

  • Upon success, you should see the following:

    Updated aos_sample_app-1.0.aos
