Installing HTTP-server

Prerequisites 

Before running your first application, you must ensure that you have the minimal set of required tools and components:

  • Toolchain for your specific microcontroller.
  • Development board.
  • µC/TCP-IP stack must be installed properly (a running project). See Installing for further detail about how to install µC/TCP-IP.
  • Source code for µC/HTTP-server.

Additional Modules

µC/HTTP-server depends on other modules to run. First, it needs the presence of a RTOS. Furthermore, µC/CPU, µC/LIB, µC/Common and µC/TCP-IP modules are required.

If you are using one of the two Micriµm RTOS, complete documentation can be found for µC/OS-II and µC/OS-III. Refer to those guides for more information on the requirements, installation, configuration and running of those RTOS.

The µC/CPU module regroups the processor's hardware-dependent code. µC/CPU includes many ports for all the different CPU architectures Micriµm supports. You must therefore used the port corresponding to your specific CPU. The complete µC/CPU documentation can be found here

The µC/LIB module is the Micriµm run-time library, implementing the most common standard library functions, macros, and constants. The complete µC/LIB documentation can be found here.

The µC/TCP-IP stack is a compact, reliable, high-performance TCP/IP protocol stack which provide the socket to the HTTP application layer. The complete µC/TCP-IP  documentation can be found here.

µC/Common regroups modules use commonly by all the Micriµm products. It must therefore also be include in your project.

Downloading the Source Code

The source code is available as open-source on Github: https://github.com/weston-embedded

Installing the Files

Once all the distribution packages have been downloaded to your host machine, extract all the files at the root of your C:\ drive for instance. The package may be extracted to any location. After extracting all the files, the directory structure should look as illustrated in Figure - Directory Tree for µC/HTTP-server. In the example, all Micriµm products sub-folders shown in Figure - Directory Tree for µC/HTTP-server will be located in C:\Micrium\Software\. The Micriµm µC/OS-III RTOS has been chosen for this example.
