Mosquitto SSL options for embedded targets

 

All,

 

Using Mosquitto v1.2.3 along with lwIP v1.4.1 and FreeRTOS v8.0.0 on an ARM
Cortex M3.  I am trying to add SSL to the mix, and it would seem that
Mosquitto is designed for OpenSSL interface only.  Am I wrong?  

 

Just wondering if any other users have successfully gotten SSL working with
Mosquitto using something else besides OpenSSL?  Or if they have OpenSSL
with Mosquitto working on a platform similar to mine, what is the resulting
compiled output size and the amount of work?   

 

I am using an IAR compiler and my license will let me create up to 256K, but
I am seeing reports via Google searches of 1MB output when compiling
OpenSSL, which might work on a PC, but definitely not on my target.  Should
be able to prune that hopefully, have not tried yet.  I do not mind
switching to a commercial product/license for another SSL library if
necessary, provided it will work nicely with Mosquitto.  

 

I am trying to judge the amount of effort and if it is even possible to get
SSL on Mosquitto in my M3 project.  Anybody else out there done this on a
M3?  If so, do you mind sharing how, library used,  and any other details
that you could?  

 

Thanks.  

 

Regards,

Dave
