Prerequisites for running the Amazon IoT Greengrass qualification suite

This section describes the prerequisites for using Amazon IoT Device Tester (IDT) for Amazon IoT Greengrass.

Download the latest version of Amazon IoT Device Tester for Amazon IoT Greengrass

Download the latest version of IDT and extract the software into a location (<device-tester-extract-location>) on your file system where you have read/write permissions.

Note

IDT does not support being run by multiple users from a shared location, such as an NFS directory or a Windows network shared folder. We recommend that you extract the IDT package to a local drive and run the IDT binary on your local workstation.

Windows has a path length limitation of 260 characters. If you are using Windows, extract IDT to a root directory like C:\ or D:\ to keep your paths under the 260 character limit.

Download the Amazon IoT Greengrass software

IDT for Amazon IoT Greengrass V2 tests your device for compatibility with a specific version of Amazon IoT Greengrass. Run the following command to download the Amazon IoT Greengrass Core software to a file named aws.greengrass.nucleus.zip. Replace version with a supported nucleus component version for your IDT version.

Place the downloaded aws.greengrass.nucleus.zip file in the <device-tester-extract-location>/products/ folder.

Note

Do not place multiple files in this directory for the same operating system and architecture.

Create and configure an Amazon Web Services account

Before you can use Amazon IoT Device Tester for Amazon IoT Greengrass V2, you must perform the following steps:

Set up an Amazon Web Services account. If you already have an Amazon Web Services account, skip to step 2.
Configure permissions for IDT.

These account permissions allow IDT to access Amazon services and create Amazon resources, such as Amazon IoT things and Amazon IoT Greengrass components, on your behalf.

To create these resources, IDT for Amazon IoT Greengrass V2 uses the Amazon credentials configured in the config.json file to make API calls on your behalf. These resources are provisioned at various times during a test.

Note

Although most tests qualify for Amazon Free Tier, you must provide a credit card when you sign up for an Amazon Web Services account. For more information, see Why do I need a payment method if my account is covered by the Free Tier?.

Step 1: Set up an Amazon Web Services account

In this step, create and configure an Amazon Web Services account. If you already have an Amazon Web Services account, skip to Step 2: Configure permissions for IDT.

If you do not have an Amazon Web Services account, use the following procedure to create one.

To sign up for Amazon Web Services

Open http://www.amazonaws.cn/ and choose Sign Up.
Follow the on-screen instructions.

Secure IAM users

After you sign up for an Amazon Web Services account, safeguard your administrative user by turning on multi-factor authentication (MFA). For instructions, see Enable a virtual MFA device for an IAM user (console) in the IAM User Guide.

To give other users access to your Amazon Web Services account resources, create IAM users. To secure your IAM users, turn on MFA and only give the IAM users the permissions needed to perform their tasks.

For more information about creating and securing IAM users, see the following topics in the IAM User Guide:

Step 2: Configure permissions for IDT

In this step, configure the permissions that IDT for Amazon IoT Greengrass V2 uses to run tests and collect IDT usage data. You can use the Amazon Web Services Management Console or Amazon Command Line Interface (Amazon CLI) to create an IAM policy and a test user for IDT, and then attach policies to the user. If you already created a test user for IDT, skip to Configure your device to run IDT tests.

Create a customer managed policy that grants permissions to create roles with specific permissions.

In the navigation pane, choose Policies, and then choose Create policy.

If you are not using PreInstalled, on the JSON tab, replace the placeholder content with the following policy. If you are using PreInstalled, proceed to the following step.

If you are using PreInstalled, on the JSON tab, replace the placeholder content with the following policy. Make sure you:

Replace thingName and thingGroup in the iotResources statement with the thing name and thing group that were created during the Greengrass installation on your device under test (DUT) to add permissions.
Replace the passRole and roleAlias in the roleAliasResources statement and the passRoleForResources statement with the roles that were created during the Greengrass installation on your DUT.

    }
  ]
}

Note

If you want to use a custom IAM role as the token exchange role for your device under test, make sure you update the roleAliasResources statement and the passRoleForResources statement in your policy to allow your custom IAM role resource.

Choose Review policy.
For Name, enter IDTGreengrassIAMPermissions. Under Summary, review the permissions granted by your policy.
Choose Create policy.

Create an IAM user and attach the permissions required by IDT for Amazon IoT Greengrass.
1. Create an IAM user. Follow steps 1 through 5 in Creating IAM users (console) in the IAM User Guide.
2. Attach the permissions to your IAM user:
  1. On the Set permissions page, choose Attach existing policies to user directly.
  2. Search for the IDTGreengrassIAMPermissions policy that you created in the previous step. Select the check box.
3. Choose Next: Tags.
4. Choose Next: Review to view a summary of your choices.
5. Choose Create user.
6. To view the user's access keys (access key IDs and secret access keys), choose Show next to the password and access key. To save the access keys, choose Download.csv and save the file to a secure location. You use this information later to configure your Amazon credentials file.
Next step: Configure your physical device.

On your computer, install and configure the Amazon CLI if it's not already installed. Follow the steps in Installing the Amazon CLI in the Amazon Command Line Interface User Guide.

Note
The Amazon CLI is an open source tool that you can use to interact with Amazon services from your command-line shell.

Create a customer managed policy that grants permissions to manage IDT and Amazon IoT Greengrass roles.

If you are not using PreInstalled, open a text editor and save the following policy contents in a JSON file. If you are using PreInstalled, proceed to the following step.

If you are using PreInstalled, open a text editor and save the following policy contents in a JSON file. Make sure you:

Replace thingName and thingGroup in the iotResources statement that were created during the Greengrass installation on your device under test (DUT) to add permissions.
Replace the passRole and roleAlias in the roleAliasResources statement and the passRoleForResources statement with the roles that were created during the Greengrass installation on your DUT.

}

Note

Run the following command to create a customer managed policy named IDTGreengrassIAMPermissions. Replace policy.json with the full path to the JSON file that you created in the previous step.
```
aws iam create-policy --policy-name IDTGreengrassIAMPermissions --policy-document file://policy.json
```

Create an IAM user and attach the permissions required by IDT for Amazon IoT Greengrass.
1. Create an IAM user. In this example setup, the user is named IDTGreengrassUser.
```
aws iam create-user --user-name IDTGreengrassUser
```
2. Attach the IDTGreengrassIAMPermissions policy you created in step 2 to your IAM user. Replace <account-id> in the command with the ID of your Amazon Web Services account.
```
aws iam attach-user-policy --user-name IDTGreengrassUser --policy-arn arn:aws-cn:iam::<account-id>:policy/IDTGreengrassIAMPermissions
```
Create a secret access key for the user.
```
aws iam create-access-key --user-name IDTGreengrassUser
```
Store the output in a secure location. You use this information later to configure your Amazon credentials file.
Next step: Configure your physical device.
