Installing HTTPc
Prerequisites
Before running your first application, you must ensure that you have the minimum 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 the µC/TCP-IP Stack for further details on how to install µC/TCP-IP.
- Source code for µC/HTTPclient.
Additional Modules
µC/HTTP-client depends on other modules to run. It requires the presence of an RTOS, the modules for µC/CPU, µC/LIB, µC/Common and µC/TCP-IP.
If you are using one of the two Micriµm OS's, complete documentation can be found for µC/OS-II and µC/OS-III. Refer to those guides for more information on requirements, installation, configuration and running of each RTOS.
The µC/CPU module regroups the processor's hardware-dependent code. It includes ports for the many CPU architectures Micriµm supports. Therefore, you must use the port corresponding to your specific CPU.
The µC/LIB module is Micriµm's run-time library, implementing the most common standard library functions, macros, and constants.
The µC/TCP-IP stack is a compact, reliable, high-performance TCP/IP protocol stack which provides the socket for the HTTP application layer.
µC/Common regroups modules use commonly by all the Micrium 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 to your computer (for instance, at the root of your C:\ drive). The package may be extracted to any location. After extracting all the files, the directory structure should look as illustrated below in Installing HTTPc#Figure - HTTP-client Folder Tree. In the example, all Micriµm products sub-folders will be located in C:\Micrium\Software\
. The Micriµm µC/OS-III RTOS has been chosen for this example.
