esp-httpd README |
||||
|
||||
This is a small but powerful webserver for ESP8266(EX) chips. Included is an example of how |
||||
to make a module that can have the AP it connects to configured over a webbrowser. |
||||
|
||||
ABOUT THE WEBSERVER |
||||
|
||||
The Good (aka: what's awesome) |
||||
- Supports multiple connections, for eg simultaneous html/css/js/images downloading |
||||
- Static files stored in flash, in an (optionally compressed) RO filesystem |
||||
- Pluggable using external cgi routines |
||||
- Simple template engine for mixed c and html things |
||||
|
||||
The Bad (aka: what can be improved) |
||||
- Not built for speediness, although it's reasonable fast. |
||||
- Built according to what I remember of the HTTP protocol, not according to the |
||||
RFCs. Should work with most modern browsers, though. |
||||
- No support for authentication or https. |
||||
|
||||
The Ugly (aka: bugs, misbehaviour) |
||||
- Possible buffer overflows (usually not remotely exploitable) due to no os_snprintf |
||||
This can be theoretically remedied by either Espressif including an os_snprintf in |
||||
their libs or by using some alternate printf lib, like elm-chans xprintf |
||||
|
||||
ABOUT THE EXAMPLE |
||||
|
||||
When you flash the example into an ESP8266(EX) module, you get a small webserver with a few example |
||||
pages. If you've already connected your module to your WLAN before, it'll keep those settings. When |
||||
you haven't or the settings are wrong, keep GPIO0 for >5 seconds. The module will reboot into |
||||
its STA+AP mode. Connect a computer to the newly formed access point and browse to |
||||
http://192.168.4.1/wifi in order to connect the module to your WiFi network. The example also |
||||
allows you to control a LED that's connected to GPIO2. |
||||
|
||||
BUILDING EVERYTHING |
||||
|
||||
For this, you need an environment that can compile ESP8266 firmware. Environments for this still |
||||
are in flux at the moment, but I'm using a crosstool-ng gcc setup combined with the libs & includes |
||||
from the ESP SDK and ESP VM. You probably also need an UNIX-slike system; I'm working on |
||||
Debian Linux myself. |
||||
|
||||
To manage the paths to all this, you can source a small shell fragment into your current session. For |
||||
example, I source a file with these contents: |
||||
export PATH=${PWD}/crosstool-NG/builds/xtensa-lx106-elf/bin:$PATH |
||||
export XTENSA_TOOLS_ROOT=${PWD}/crosstool-NG/builds/xtensa-lx106-elf/bin |
||||
export SDK_BASE=${PWD}/esp_iot_sdk_v0.9.2/ |
||||
export SDK_EXTRA_INCLUDES=${PWD}/esp_iot_sdk_novm_unpacked/usr/xtensa/XtDevTools/install/builds/RC-2010.1-win32/lx106/xtensa-elf/include/ |
||||
export ESPTOOL=${PWD}/esptool/esptool.py |
||||
export ESPPORT=/dev/ttyUSB0 |
||||
Actual setup of the SDK and toolchain is out of the scope of this document, so I hope this helps you |
||||
enough to set up your own if you haven't already. |
||||
|
||||
If you have that, you can clone out the source code: |
||||
git clone http://git.spritesserver.nl/esphttpd.git/ |
||||
|
||||
This project makes use of heatshrink, which is a git submodule. To fetch the code: |
||||
cd esphttpd |
||||
git submodule init |
||||
git submodule update |
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Now, build the code: |
||||
make |
||||
|
||||
Flash the code happens in 2 steps. First the code itself gets flashed. Reset the module into bootloader |
||||
mode and enter 'make flash'. You may want to reset and re-enter the bootloader halfway (at 'sleep 3') for |
||||
the 2nd part of this flash to work. |
||||
|
||||
The 2nd step is to pack the static files the webserver will serve and flash that. Reset the module into |
||||
bootloader mode again and enter 'make htmlflash'. |
||||
|
||||
You should have a working webserver now. |
||||
|
||||
WRITING CODE FOR THE WEBSERVER |
||||
|
||||
...errm... to be done. For now, look at the examples. Hey, you probably managed to find out how |
||||
the SDK works, this shouldn't be too hard :P |
