An example showing the use of CHIP on the Linux. The document will describe how to build and run CHIP Linux Lighting Example on Raspberry Pi. This doc is tested on Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi Server 20.04 LTS (aarch64) and Ubuntu for Raspberry Pi Desktop 20.10 (aarch64)
To cross-compile this example on x64 host and run on NXP i.MX 8M Mini EVK, see the associated README document for details.

Install tool chain
$ sudo apt-get install git gcc g++ python pkg-config libssl-dev libdbus-1-dev libglib2.0-dev ninja-build python3-venv python3-dev unzip -
Build the example application:
$ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/lighting-app/linux $ git submodule update --init $ source third_party/connectedhomeip/scripts/activate.sh $ gn gen out/debug $ ninja -C out/debug -
To delete generated executable, libraries and object files use:
$ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/lighting-app/linux $ rm -rf out/ -
Build the example with pigweed RPC
$ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/lighting-app/linux $ git submodule update --init $ source third_party/connectedhomeip/scripts/activate.sh $ gn gen out/debug --args='import("//with_pw_rpc.gni")' $ ninja -C out/debug
-
--wifiEnables WiFi management feature. Required for WiFi commissioning.
-
--threadEnables Thread management feature, requires ot-br-posix dbus daemon running. Required for Thread commissioning.
-
--ble-device <interface id>Use specific bluetooth interface for BLE advertisement and connections.
interface id: the number afterhciwhen listing BLE interfaces byhciconfigcommand, for example,--ble-device 1means usinghci1interface. Default:0.
If you want to test Echo protocol, please enable Echo handler
gn gen out/debug --args='chip_app_use_echo=true' ninja -C out/debug
-
Prerequisites
- A Raspberry Pi 4 board
- A USB Bluetooth Dongle, Ubuntu desktop will send Bluetooth advertisement,
which will block CHIP from connecting via BLE. On Ubuntu server, you need
to install
pi-bluetoothvia APT. - Ubuntu 20.04 or newer image for ARM64 platform.
-
Building
Follow Building section of this document.
-
Running
-
[Optional] Plug USB Bluetooth dongle
-
Plug USB Bluetooth dongle and find its bluetooth device number. The number after
hciis the bluetooth device number,1in this example.$ hciconfig hci1: Type: Primary Bus: USB BD Address: 00:1A:7D:AA:BB:CC ACL MTU: 310:10 SCO MTU: 64:8 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN RX bytes:20942 acl:1023 sco:0 events:1140 errors:0 TX bytes:16559 acl:1011 sco:0 commands:121 errors:0 hci0: Type: Primary Bus: UART BD Address: B8:27:EB:AA:BB:CC ACL MTU: 1021:8 SCO MTU: 64:1 UP RUNNING PSCAN ISCAN RX bytes:8609495 acl:14 sco:0 events:217484 errors:0 TX bytes:92185 acl:20 sco:0 commands:5259 errors:0 -
Run Linux Lighting Example App
$ cd ~/connectedhomeip/examples/lighting-app/linux $ sudo out/debug/chip-lighting-app --ble-device [bluetooth device number] # In this example, the device we want to use is hci1 $ sudo out/debug/chip-lighting-app --ble-device 1 -
Test the device using ChipDeviceController on your laptop / workstation etc.

As part of building the example with RPCs enabled the chip_rpc python interactive console is installed into your venv. The python wheel files are also created in the output folder: out/debug/chip_rpc_console_wheels. To install the wheel files without rebuilding:
pip3 install out/debug/chip_rpc_console_wheels/*.whl -
To use the chip-rpc console after it has been installed run:
chip-console -s localhost:33000 -o /<YourFolder>/pw_log.out -
Then you can Get and Set the light using the RPCs:
rpcs.chip.rpc.Lighting.Get()rpcs.chip.rpc.Lighting.Set(on=True, level=128, color=protos.chip.rpc.LightingColor(hue=5, saturation=5))
Device tracing is available to analyze the device performance. To turn on tracing, build with RPC enabled. See Building with RPC enabled.
Obtain tracing json file.
$ ./{PIGWEED_REPO}/pw_trace_tokenized/py/pw_trace_tokenized/get_trace.py -s localhost:33000 \
-o {OUTPUT_FILE} -t {ELF_FILE} {PIGWEED_REPO}/pw_trace_tokenized/pw_trace_protos/trace_rpc.proto
You can send a command to lighting-app to trigger specific event via lighting-app event named pipe /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-.
- Generate event
SoftwareFaultwhen a software fault takes place on the Node.
$ echo '{"Name":"SoftwareFault"}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
- Generate event
HardwareFaultChangeto indicate a change in the set of hardware faults currently detected by the Node.
$ echo '{"Name":"HardwareFaultChange"}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
- Generate event
RadioFaultChangeto indicate a change in the set of radio faults currently detected by the Node.
$ echo '{"Name":"RadioFaultChange"}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
- Generate event
NetworkFaultChangeto indicate a change in the set of network faults currently detected by the Node.
$ echo '{"Name":"NetworkFaultChange"}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
- Generate event
BootReasonto indicate the reason that caused the device to start-up, from the following set ofBootReasons.
-
PowerOnRebootThe Node has booted as the result of physical interaction with the device resulting in a reboot. -
BrownOutResetThe Node has rebooted as the result of a brown-out of the Node’s power supply. -
SoftwareWatchdogResetThe Node has rebooted as the result of a software watchdog timer. -
HardwareWatchdogResetThe Node has rebooted as the result of a hardware watchdog timer. -
SoftwareUpdateCompletedThe Node has rebooted as the result of a completed software update. -
SoftwareResetThe Node has rebooted as the result of a software initiated reboot.
$ echo '{"Name":"<BootReason>"}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
- Generate event
SwitchLatched, when the latching switch is moved to a new position.
$ echo '{"Name":"SwitchLatched","NewPosition":3}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
- Generate event
InitialPress, when the momentary switch starts to be pressed.
$ echo '{"Name":"InitialPress","NewPosition":3}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
- Generate event
LongPress, when the momentary switch has been pressed for a "long" time.
$ echo '{"Name":"LongPress","NewPosition":3}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
- Generate event
ShortRelease, when the momentary switch has been released.
$ echo '{"Name":"ShortRelease","PreviousPosition":3}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
- Generate event
LongReleasewhen the momentary switch has been released and after having been pressed for a long time.
$ echo '{"Name":"LongRelease","PreviousPosition":3}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
- Generate event
MultiPressOngoingto indicate how many times the momentary switch has been pressed in a multi-press sequence, during that sequence.
$ echo '{"Name":"MultiPressOngoing","NewPosition":3,"CurrentNumberOfPressesCounted":4}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
- Generate event
MultiPressCompleteto indicate how many times the momentary switch has been pressed in a multi-press sequence, after it has been detected that the sequence has ended.
$ echo '{"Name":"MultiPressComplete","PreviousPosition":3,"TotalNumberOfPressesCounted":2}' > /tmp/chip_lighting_fifo-<PID>
