You are using staging server - a separate instance of the ESP Component Registry that allows you to try distribution tools and processes without affecting the real registry.
See the Official wolfssl/wolfmqtt Component.
The name of this components is mywolfmqtt
to distinguish it from the release version.
This library requires (mywolfssl) wolfSSL 5.7.4 or later.
This is wolfMQTT version 1.18.0-preview8a, Published as an Espressif Managed Component
There were some ESP32-specific updates to examples applied after the official release of wolfMQTT 1.18.0-preview8a.
See wolfMQTT PR #420.
When testing staging components, be sure to set IDF_COMPONENT_REGISTRY_URL
:
Bash
export IDF_COMPONENT_REGISTRY_URL=https://components-staging.espressif.com
Set the value when NOT testing to the release URL:
Bash
export IDF_COMPONENT_REGISTRY_URL=https://components.espressif.com
When using wolfMQTT as a ESP-IDF Managed Component, be sure to keep the component Manager updated:
Bash
pip install -U idf-component-manager
The Component Manager version is specific to each ESP-IDF version installed. Each must be updated separately.
When creating your own application that uses wolfSSL as a managed component, ensure that the wolfSSL component directory is not listed in EXTRA_COMPONENT_DIRS
variable in CMakeLists.txt
.
See the IDF Component Manager Documentation for details.

This component requires wolfssl.
The wolfSSL embedded SSL library (formerly CyaSSL) is a lightweight SSL/TLS library written in ANSI C and targeted for embedded, RTOS, and resource-constrained environments - primarily because of its small size, speed, and feature set. It is commonly used in standard operating environments as well because of its royalty-free pricing and excellent cross platform support. wolfSSL supports industry standards up to the current TLS 1.3 and DTLS 1.3, is up to 20 times smaller than OpenSSL, and offers progressive ciphers such as ChaCha20, Curve25519, Blake2b and Post-Quantum TLS 1.3 groups. User benchmarking and feedback reports dramatically better performance when using wolfSSL over OpenSSL.
wolfSSL is powered by the wolfCrypt cryptography library. Two versions of wolfCrypt have been FIPS 140-2 validated (Certificate #2425 and certificate #3389). FIPS 140-3 validated (Certificate #4718). For additional information, visit the wolfCrypt FIPS FAQ or contact fips@wolfssl.com.
There are many reasons to choose wolfSSL as your embedded, desktop, mobile, or enterprise SSL/TLS solution. Some of the top reasons include size (typical footprint sizes range from 20-100 kB), support for the newest standards (SSL 3.0, TLS 1.0, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.2, TLS 1.3, DTLS 1.0, DTLS 1.2, and DTLS 1.3), current and progressive cipher support (including stream ciphers), multi-platform, royalty free, and an OpenSSL compatibility API to ease porting into existing applications which have previously used the OpenSSL package. For a complete feature list, see Chapter 4 of the wolfSSL manual.
Check out the Examples on the right pane of the wolfssl component page.
Typically you need only 4 lines to run an example from scratch in the EDP-IDF environment:
Bash
# The examples are typically created in a workspace directory.
mkdir -p ~/workspace
cd ~/workspace
. ~/esp/esp-idf/export.sh
# Fetch the example
idf.py create-project-from-example "wolfssl/wolfmqtt:AWS_IoT_MQTT"
cd AWS_IoT_MQTT
# Set WiFi SSID and Password in "Example Connection Configuration":
idf.py menuconfig
# Optionally erase
idf.py erase-flash -p /dev/ttyS19 -b 115200
# Build and flash
idf.py -p /dev/ttyS19 flash -b 115200 monitor -b 115200
or for VisualGDB:
Bash
. /mnt/c/SysGCC/esp32/esp-idf/v5.1/export.sh
When using the wolfssl component in your own project, be sure to define WOLFSSL_USER_SETTINGS
by adding this line to your project CMakeLists.txt
file:
Bash
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS} -DWOLFSSL_USER_SETTINGS")
Here are some ESP Registry-specific details of the wolfmqtt component.
The naming convention of the build-system name of a dependency installed by the component manager
is always namespace__component
. The namespace for wolfSSL is wolfssl
. The build-system name
is thus wolfssl__wolfmqtt
.
A project CMakelLists.txt
doesn't need to mention it at all when using wolfMQTT as a managed component.
To check which version of the Component Manager is currently available, use the command:
Bash
python -m idf_component_manager -h
The Component Manager should have been installed during the installation of the ESP-IDF. If your version of ESP-IDF doesn't come with the IDF Component Manager, you can install it:
Bash
python -m pip install --upgrade idf-component-manager
For further details on the Espressif Component Manager, see the idf-component-manager repo.
There are experimental, generally unsupported preview versions of components available at https://components-staging.espressif.com/
The staging versions are developer-specific and components are renamed with a "my" prefix. (e.g. "mywolfssl")
There are some [gojimmypi] versions available here in the "gojimmypi" namespace:
https://components-staging.espressif.com/components?q=namespace:gojimmypi
When using staging components, be sure to define the IDF_COMPONENT_REGISTRY_URL
environment variable:
Bash
export IDF_COMPONENT_REGISTRY_URL="https://components-staging.espressif.com"

Support for Zephyr is available in the zephyr directory. For instructions on how to build for Zephyr, see the README.md.
The library has three components.
This is where the top level application interfaces for the MQTT client reside.
int MqttClient_Init(MqttClient *client, MqttNet *net, MqttMsgCb msg_cb, byte *tx_buf, int tx_buf_len, byte *rx_buf, int rx_buf_len, int cmd_timeout_ms);
These API's are blocking on MqttNet.read
until error/timeout (cmd_timeout_ms
):
int MqttClient_Connect(MqttClient *client, MqttConnect *connect);
int MqttClient_Publish(MqttClient *client, MqttPublish *publish);
int MqttClient_Subscribe(MqttClient *client, MqttSubscribe *subscribe);
int MqttClient_Unsubscribe(MqttClient *client, MqttUnsubscribe *unsubscribe);
int MqttClient_Ping(MqttClient *client);
int MqttClient_Disconnect(MqttClient *client);
This function blocks waiting for a new publish message to arrive for a maximum duration of timeout_ms
.
int MqttClient_WaitMessage(MqttClient *client, MqttMessage *message, int timeout_ms);
These are the network connect / disconnect interfaces that wrap the MqttNet callbacks and handle WolfSSL TLS:
int MqttClient_NetConnect(MqttClient *client, const char* host, word16 port, int timeout_ms, int use_tls, MqttTlsCb cb);
int MqttClient_NetDisconnect(MqttClient *client);
Helper functions:
const char* MqttClient_ReturnCodeToString(int return_code);
This is where all the packet encoding/decoding is handled.
The header contains the MQTT Packet structures for:
MqttConnect
MqttPublish
/ MqttMessage
(they are the same)MqttSubscribe
MqttUnsubscribe
This is where the transport socket optionally wraps TLS and uses the MqttNet
callbacks for the platform specific network handling.
The header contains the MQTT Network structure MqttNet
for network callback and context.
Here are the steps for creating your own implementation.
examples/mqttnet.c
and examples/mqttnet.h
.MqttNet
structure.MqttClient_Init
passing in a MqttClient
structure pointer, MqttNet
structure pointer, MqttMsgCb
function pointer, TX/RX buffers with maximum length and command timeout.MqttClient_NetConnect
to connect to broker over network. If use_tls
is non-zero value then it will perform a TLS connection. The TLS callback MqttTlsCb
should be defined for wolfSSL certificate configuration.MqttClient_Connect
passing pointer to MqttConnect
structure to send MQTT connect command and wait for Connect Ack.MqttClient_Subscribe
passing pointer to MqttSubscribe
structure to send MQTT Subscribe command and wait for Subscribe Ack (depending on QoS level).MqttClient_WaitMessage
passing pointer to MqttMessage
to wait for incoming MQTT Publish message.The example MQTT client is located in /examples/mqttclient/
. This example exercises many of the exposed API’s and prints any incoming publish messages for subscription topic “wolfMQTT/example/testTopic”. This client contains examples of many MQTTv5 features, including the property callback and server assignment of client ID. The mqqtclient example is a good starting template for your MQTT application.
The example MQTT client is located in /examples/mqttsimple/
. This example demonstrates a standalone client using standard BSD sockets. This requires HAVE_SOCKET
to be defined, which comes from the ./configure generated wolfmqtt/config.h
file. All parameters are build-time macros defined at the top of /examples/mqttsimple/mqttsimple.c
.
The example MQTT client is located in /examples/nbclient/
. This example uses non-blocking I/O for message exchange. The wolfMQTT library must be configured with the --enable-nonblock
option (or built with WOLFMQTT_NONBLOCK
).
The MQTT firmware update is located in /examples/firmware/
. This example has two parts. The first is called “fwpush”, which signs and publishes a firmware image. The second is called “fwclient”, which receives the firmware image and verifies the signature. This example publishes message on the topic “wolfMQTT/example/firmware”. The "fwpush" application is an example of using a publish callback to send the payload data.
We setup a wolfMQTT IoT Hub on the Azure server for testing. We added a device called demoDevice
, which you can connect and publish to. The example demonstrates creation of a SasToken, which is used as the password for the MQTT connect packet. It also shows the topic names for publishing events and listening to devicebound
messages. This example only works with ENABLE_MQTT_TLS
set and the wolfSSL library present because it requires Base64 Encode/Decode and HMAC-SHA256. Note: The wolfSSL library must be built with ./configure --enable-base64encode
or #define WOLFSSL_BASE64_ENCODE
. The wc_GetTime
API was added in 3.9.1 and if not present you'll need to implement your own version of this to get current UTC seconds or update your wolfSSL library.
NOTE The Azure broker only supports MQTT v3.1.1
We setup an AWS IoT endpoint and testing device certificate for testing. The AWS server uses TLS client certificate for authentication. The example is located in /examples/aws/
. The example subscribes to $aws/things/"AWSIOT_DEVICE_ID"/shadow/update/delta
and publishes to $aws/things/"AWSIOT_DEVICE_ID"/shadow/update
.
NOTE The AWS broker only supports MQTT v3.1.1
This example enables the wolfMQTT client to connect to the IBM Watson Internet of Things (WIOT) Platform. The WIOT Platform has a limited test broker called "Quickstart" that allows non-secure connections to exercise the component. The example is located in /examples/wiot/
. Works with MQTT v5 support enabled.
NOTE The WIOT Platform will be disabled DEC2023. The demo may still be useful for users of IBM Watson IOT.
The Sensor Network client implements the MQTT-SN protocol for low-bandwidth networks. There are several differences from MQTT, including the ability to use a two byte Topic ID instead the full topic during subscribe and publish. The SN client requires an MQTT-SN gateway. The gateway acts as an intermediary between the SN clients and the broker. This client was tested with the Eclipse Paho MQTT-SN Gateway, which connects by default to the public Eclipse broker, much like our wolfMQTT Client example. The address of the gateway must be configured as the host. The example is located in /examples/sn-client/
.
More about MQTT-SN examples in examples/sn-client/README.md
This example exercises the multithreading capabilities of the client library. The client implements two tasks: one that publishes to the broker; and another that waits for messages from the broker. The publish thread is created NUM_PUB_TASKS
times (10 by default) and sends unique messages to the broker. This feature is enabled using the --enable-mt
configuration option. The example is located in /examples/multithread/
.
The multi-threading feature can also be used with the non-blocking socket (--enable-nonblock).
If you are having issues with thread synchronization on Linux consider using not the conditional signal (WOLFMQTT_NO_COND_SIGNAL
).
In the examples/pub-sub
folder, there are two simple client examples:
These examples are useful for quickly testing or scripting.
The command line examples can be executed with optional parameters. To see a list of the available parameters, add the -?

wolfMQTT client library has been tested with the following brokers:
The initially supported version with full specification support for all features and packets type such as:
The wolfMQTT client supports connecting to v5 enabled brokers when configured with the --enable-v5
option.
The following v5.0 specification features are supported by the wolfMQTT client:
The v5 enabled wolfMQTT client was tested with the following MQTT v5 brokers:
./examples/mqttclient/mqttclient -h localhost
./examples/mqttclient/mqttclient -h "mqtt.flespi.io" -u "<your-flespi-token>"
./examples/mqttclient/mqttclient -h localhost
./examples/mqttclient/mqttclient -h localhost

./examples/mqttclient/mqttclient -h "broker.emqx.io"
Properties are allocated from a local stack (size MQTT_MAX_PROPS
) by default. Define WOLFMQTT_DYN_PROP
to use malloc for property allocation.
The wolfMQTT SN Client implementation is based on the OASIS MQTT-SN v1.2 specification. The SN API is configured with the --enable-sn
option. There is a separate API for the sensor network API, which all begin with the "SN_" prefix. The wolfMQTT SN Client operates over UDP, which is distinct from the wolfMQTT clients that use TCP. The following features are supported by the wolfMQTT SN Client:
Unsupported features:
The SN client was tested using the Eclipse Paho MQTT-SN Gateway (https://github.com/eclipse/paho.mqtt-sn.embedded-c) running locally and on a separate network node. Instructions for building and running the gateway are in the project README.
Recently the OpenQuantumSafe project has integrated their fork of OpenSSL with the mosquito MQTT broker. You can now build wolfMQTT with wolfSSL and liboqs and use that to publish to the mosquito MQTT broker. Currently, wolfMQTT supports the KYBER_LEVEL1
and P256_KYBER_LEVEL1
groups and FALCON_LEVEL1 for authentication in TLS 1.3. This works on Linux.
To get started, you can use the code from the following github pull request:
https://github.com/open-quantum-safe/oqs-demos/pull/143
Follow all the instructions in README.md and USAGE.md. This allows you to create a docker image and a docker network. Then you will run a broker, a subscriber and a publisher. At the end the publisher will exit and the broker and subscriber will remain active. You will need to re-activate the publisher docker instance and get the following files onto your local machine:
NOTE: Do not stop the broker and the subscriber instances.
Follow the instructions for obtaining and building liboqs and building wolfSSL in section 15 of the following document:
https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssl/blob/master/INSTALL
No special flags are required for building wolfMQTT. Simply do the following:
Plaintext
./autogen.sh (if obtained from github)
./configure
make all
make check
Since the broker and subscriber are still running, you can use mqttclient
to publish using post-quantum algorithms in TLS 1.3 by doing the following:
Plaintext
./examples/mqttclient/mqttclient -h 172.18.0.2 -t -A CA.crt -K publisher.key -c publisher.crt -m "Hello from post-quantum wolfMQTT!!" -n test/sensor1 -Q KYBER_LEVEL1
Congratulations! You have just published an MQTT message using TLS 1.3 with the KYBER_LEVEL1
KEM and FALCON_LEVEL1
signature scheme. To use the hybrid group, replace KYBER_LEVEL1
with P256_KYBER_LEVEL1
.
wolfMQTT now supports using libcurl's easy socket interface as a backend.
When enabled, wolfMQTT will use the libcurl API for the socket backend,
and libcurl will use wolfSSL to negotiate TLS.
This can be enabled with --enable-curl
.
At this time wolfMQTT's libcurl option supports both TLS and mTLS, but not Post-Quantum TLS.
To use wolfMQTT with libcurl and wolfSSL:
--enable-curl
and install to /usr/local
.--with-wolfssl
and install to /usr/local
.Finally, build wolfMQTT with --enable-curl
.
The --enable-curl
option works with these combinations:
--enable-mt
--enable-nonblock
--enable-tls
(default enabled)--enable-timeout
(default enabled)However --enable-curl
is incompatible and not supported with these options:
--enable-all
--enable-sn
