ESP-NOW

[English]

概述

ESP-NOW 是一种由乐鑫公司定义的无连接 Wi-Fi 通信协议。在 ESP-NOW 中,应用程序数据被封装在各个供应商的动作帧中,然后在无连接的情况下,从一个 Wi-Fi 设备传输到另一个 Wi-Fi 设备。

CTR 与 CBC-MAC 协议 (CCMP) 可用来保护动作帧的安全。ESP-NOW 广泛应用于智能照明、远程控制、传感器等领域。

帧格式

ESP-NOW 使用供应商的动作帧传输数据,默认比特率为 1 Mbps。目前 ESP-NOW 支持一个版本: v1.0。v1.0 的设备支持的最大数据包长度为 ESP_NOW_MAX_DATA_LEN bytes。 v1.0 设备可以接收长度不超过 ESP_NOW_MAX_IE_DATA_LEN 的数据包,而对于长度超过 ESP_NOW_MAX_IE_DATA_LEN 的数据包,会丢弃数据包。

供应商的动作帧格式为:

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
|   MAC 报头   |  分类代码  |  组织标识符  |  随机值  |  供应商特定内容  |   FCS   |
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
   24 字节        1 字节        3 字节      4 字节      7-x 字节       4 字节
  • 分类代码:分类代码字段可用于指示各个供应商的类别(比如 127)。

  • 组织标识符:组织标识符包含一个唯一标识符(比如 0x18fe34),为乐鑫指定的 MAC 地址的前三个字节。

  • 随机值:防止重放攻击。

  • 供应商特定内容:供应商特定内容包含一个特定供应商元素字段,x = 257(250+7)。

特定供应商元素的帧格式为:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|  元素 ID  |  长度  |  组织标识符  |  类型  |  保留  |  版本    |     正文     |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                          7~4 比特| 3~0 比特
   1 字节     1 字节     3 字节      1 字节       1 字节           0-250 字节
  • 元素 ID:元素 ID 字段可用于指示特定于供应商的元素。

  • 长度:长度是组织标识符、类型、版本和正文的总长度,最大值为 255。

  • 组织标识符:组织标识符包含一个唯一标识符(比如 0x18fe34),为乐鑫指定的 MAC 地址的前三个字节。

  • 类型:类型字段设置为 4,代表 ESP-NOW。

  • 版本:版本字段设置为 ESP-NOW 的版本。

  • 正文:正文包含实际要发送的 ESP-NOW 数据。

由于 ESP-NOW 是无连接的,因此 MAC 报头与标准帧略有不同。FrameControl 字段的 FromDS 和 ToDS 位均为 0。第一个地址字段用于配置目标地址。第二个地址字段用于配置源地址。第三个地址字段用于配置广播地址 (0xff:0xff:0xff:0xff:0xff:0xff)。

安全

ESP-NOW 采用 CCMP 方法保护供应商特定动作帧的安全,具体可参考 IEEE Std. 802.11-2012。Wi-Fi 设备维护一个初始主密钥 (PMK) 和若干本地主密钥 (LMKs,每个配对设备拥有一个 LMK),长度均为 16 个字节。

  • PMK 可使用 AES-128 算法加密 LMK。请调用 esp_now_set_pmk() 设置 PMK。如果未设置 PMK,将使用默认 PMK。

  • LMK 可通过 CCMP 方法对供应商特定的动作帧进行加密。如果未设置配对设备的 LMK,则动作帧不进行加密。

目前,不支持加密组播供应商特定的动作帧。

初始化和反初始化

调用 esp_now_init() 初始化 ESP-NOW,调用 esp_now_deinit() 反初始化 ESP-NOW。ESP-NOW 数据必须在 Wi-Fi 启动后传输,因此建议在初始化 ESP-NOW 之前启动 Wi-Fi,并在反初始化 ESP-NOW 之后停止 Wi-Fi。

当调用 esp_now_deinit() 时,配对设备的所有信息都将被删除。

添加配对设备

在将数据发送到其他设备之前,请先调用 esp_now_add_peer() 将其添加到配对设备列表中。如果启用了加密,则必须设置 LMK。ESP-NOW 数据可以从 Station 或 SoftAP 接口发送。确保在发送 ESP-NOW 数据之前已启用该接口。

配对设备的最大数量是 20,其中加密设备的数量不超过 17,默认值是 7。如果想要修改加密设备的数量,在 Wi-Fi menuconfig 设置 CONFIG_ESP_WIFI_ESPNOW_MAX_ENCRYPT_NUM

在发送广播数据之前必须添加具有广播 MAC 地址的设备。配对设备的信道范围是从 0 ~ 14。如果信道设置为 0,数据将在当前信道上发送。否则,必须使用本地设备所在的通道。

发送 ESP-NOW 数据

调用 esp_now_send() 发送 ESP-NOW 数据,调用 esp_now_register_send_cb() 注册发送回调函数。如果 MAC 层成功接收到数据,则该函数将返回 ESP_NOW_SEND_SUCCESS 事件。否则,它将返回 ESP_NOW_SEND_FAIL。ESP-NOW 数据发送失败可能有几种原因,比如目标设备不存在、设备的信道不相同、动作帧在传输过程中丢失等。应用层并不一定可以总能接收到数据。如果需要,应用层可在接收 ESP-NOW 数据时发回一个应答 (ACK) 数据。如果接收 ACK 数据超时,则将重新传输 ESP-NOW 数据。可以为 ESP-NOW 数据设置序列号,从而删除重复的数据。

如果有大量 ESP-NOW 数据要发送,调用 esp_now_send() 时需注意单次发送的数据不能超过 250 字节。请注意,两个 ESP-NOW 数据包的发送间隔太短可能导致回调函数返回混乱。因此,建议在等到上一次回调函数返回 ACK 后再发送下一个 ESP-NOW 数据。发送回调函数从高优先级的 Wi-Fi 任务中运行。因此,不要在回调函数中执行冗长的操作。相反,将必要的数据发布到队列,并交给优先级较低的任务处理。

接收 ESP-NOW 数据

调用 esp_now_register_recv_cb() 注册接收回调函数。当接收 ESP-NOW 数据时,需要调用接收回调函数。接收回调函数也在 Wi-Fi 任务任务中运行。因此,不要在回调函数中执行冗长的操作。 相反,将必要的数据发布到队列,并交给优先级较低的任务处理。

配置 ESP-NOW 速率

调用 esp_wifi_config_espnow_rate() 配置指定接口的 ESP-NOW 速率。确保在配置速率之前启用接口。这个 API 应该在 esp_wifi_start() 之后调用。

配置 ESP-NOW 功耗参数

当且仅当 ESP32-S2 配置为 STA 模式时,允许其进行休眠。

进行休眠时,调用 esp_now_set_wake_window() 为 ESP-NOW 收包配置 Window。默认情况下 Window 为最大值,将允许一直收包。

如果对 ESP-NOW 进功耗管理,也需要调用 esp_wifi_connectionless_module_set_wake_interval()

请参考 非连接模块功耗管理 获取更多信息。
