Embedded Web Server

I agree Linux is great for embedded, cheap x86 boards, PC104 or other form factor. Scale up/down processors for different applications, reuse code. A slimmed down kernel boots in no time from flash, any peripherals are available.

Hi

Thanks for your reply.

Linux, Window OS are too big for the embedded web server I am talking about. It has only 256k RAM for program storage. The processor is much less power than X86.

Usually these type of webserver come with compiler for free also.

http://www.modtronix.com/ has PIC based products. x86 goes a long way, a 286 is not that powerfull but let you develop using familiar tools.

You have to be much more explicit when you talk about "embedded web server". All a minimum web server has to do is "serve up" a minimum web page. That has been done with single chip microprocessors and a "web page" burned into rom.

For example, the setup and help screens on your router or modem may be done as web pages. The router is the "server", but it doesn't have the functionality of, say, Apache.

OTOH, if you are servicing all the various ports and protocols, that's a little different...

Would something like

Webio at codeproject

suit your needs?

D'oh!

I misread your posting. You are looking for hardware as well. I thought you were looking for web server software to embed in your product.

Here's a start: Google "smallest web server"
