coap-client -m get coap://HOST/status
coap-client -m get coap://HOST/telemetry/heart

Observe the stream for fragment C

coap-client -m get -s 30 -o coap://HOST/wired/stream

Capture the JSON notification that includes fragment_c.

Build XOR key Concatenate fragments in order A + B + C:

WIRED + LAIN + 23 = WIREDLAIN23

Download firmware blob

coap-client -m get coap://HOST/archive/firmware
