Embedded Webserver Library

Embedded Webserver Library

This software library allows you to generate a webserver that communicates using the XMOS TCP/IP server component.

Features

  • Automatically package a file tree of web pages into data that be accessed on the device
  • Store web pages in either program memory or on an attached SPI flash
  • Call C/XC functions from within web page templates to access dynamic content
  • Handle GET and POST HTTP requests
  • Separate the handling of TCP traffic and the access of flash into different tasks passing data over XC channels. Allowing you to integrate the webserver in other applications that already handle TCP or access flash.
