Hi Group, I have a few questions about creating a custom device connected
to the
internet. The device will have two primary functions
1) act as an embedded (dynamic) web server with the ability to download new
html code
remotely
2) act as a conduit to a microcontroller where TCP/IP packets can be sent
and
received with a simple protocol riding on top to control stuff (say switches
and lights
for arguements sake) Interface to microcontroller could be parallel, SPI or
RS232.
The device would act as one or the other and sometimes both. At this point
there
is no particular requirement for amount of html code, speed, cost, security
etc.
I have a Coldfire development kit and have the option of writing the code
from
scratch based on PD tcp/ip routines but I don't want to spent months
creating
the ability to download dynamic web pages remotely.
Have you considered running either
uClinux
or
RTEMS
On your coldfire board.
* both are open source / free
* support coldfire
* can run an embedded web server.
You would need to run very little code to get this up and running.
Regards
Paul
