AWS IoT Jobs library
API Documentation Pages for current and previous releases of this library can be found here
The AWS IoT Jobs library helps you notify connected IoT devices of a pending Job. A Job can be used to manage your fleet of devices, update firmware and security certificates on your devices, or perform administrative tasks such as restarting devices and performing diagnostics. It interacts with the AWS IoT Jobs service using MQTT, a lightweight publish-subscribe protocol. This library provides a convenience API to compose and recognize the MQTT topic strings used by the Jobs service. The library is written in C compliant with ISO C90 and MISRA C:2012, and is distributed under the MIT Open Source License.
This library has gone through code quality checks including verification that no function has a GNU Complexity score over 10, and checks against deviations from mandatory rules in the MISRA coding standard. Deviations from the MISRA C:2012 guidelines are documented under MISRA Deviations. This library has also undergone both static code analysis from Coverity, and validation of memory safety with the CBMC bounded model checker.
See memory requirements for this library here.
AWS IoT Jobs v1.5.1 source code is part of the FreeRTOS 202406.00 LTS release.
Building the Jobs library
A compiler that supports C99 or later such as gcc is required to build the library.
Additionally, coreJSON is required for parsing. To build the library, first run:
git clone https://github.com/FreeRTOS/coreJSON.git --depth 1 --branch v3.2.0
Given an application in a file named example.c
, gcc can be used like so:
gcc -I source/include -I coreJSON/source/include example.c coreJSON/source/core_json.c source/jobs.c -o example
gcc can also produce an object file to be linked later:
gcc -I source/include -I coreJSON/source/include -c source/jobs.c
CBMC
To learn more about CBMC and proofs specifically, review the training material here.
The test/cbmc
directory contains CBMC proofs.
In order to run these proofs you will need to install CBMC and other tools by following the instructions here.
Reference example
The AWS IoT Device SDK for Embedded C repository contains a demo using the jobs library on a POSIX platform. https://github.com/aws/aws-iot-device-sdk-embedded-C/tree/main/demos/jobs/jobs_demo_mosquitto

Building unit tests
Platform Prerequisites
- For running unit tests
- C99 compiler like gcc
- CMake 3.13.0 or later
- Ruby 2.0.0 or later is additionally required for the Unity test framework (that we use).
- For running the coverage target, lcov is additionally required.
Steps to build Unit Tests
-
Create build directory:
mkdir build
-
Run cmake while inside build directory:
cmake -S test/ -B build/
-
Change to build directory:
cd build
-
Run this command to build the library and unit tests:
make all
-
The generated test executables will be present in
build/bin/tests
folder. -
Run
ctest
to execute all tests and view the test run summary.
