1 Embedded Webserver Demo (SPI Flash) Quickstart Guide IN THIS DOCUMENT Host computer setup Hardware setup Import and build the application Run the application Next steps This application demonstrates an embedded webserver running on an XMOS device using the Ethernet slicecard XA-SK-E100. The web pages hosted by this application is stored in the flash. 1 Host computer setup A computer with: Internet browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, etc...) An Ethernet port or connected to a network router with spare Ethernet port. Download and install the xtimecomposer studio from XMOS xtimecomposer downloads webpage. 2 Hardware setup Required slicekit units: XP-SKC-L2 slicekit L2 core board XA-SK-E100 Ethernet slicecard xtag-2 and XA-SK-XTAG2 adapter Setup: Connect the XA-SK-XTAG2 adapter to the core board. Connect XTAG2 to XSYS side (J1) of the XA-SK-XTAG2 adapter. Connect the XTAG2 to your computer using a USB cable. Connect the XA-SK-E100 Ethernet slicecard to the XP-SKC-L2 core board s CIRCLE (indicated by a white color circle (or) J6) slot.

2 Embedded Webserver Demo (SPI Flash) Quickstart Guide 2/5 Using an Ethernet cable, connect the other side of XA-SK-E100 Ethernet slicecard to your computer s Ethernet port (or) to a spare Ethernet port of the router. Connect the 12V power supply to the core board and switch it ON. Figure 1: Hardware setup 3 Import and build the application Importing the Webserver demo application: Open the xtimecomposer studio and ensure that it is operating in online mode. Open the Edit perspective (Window -> Open Perspective -> XMOS Edit). Open the xsoftip view from (Window -> Show View -> xsoftip). An xsoftip window appears on the bottom-left. Search for Embedded Webserver Demo (SPI Flash). Click and drag it into the Project Explorer window. Doing this will open a Import xtimecomposer Software window. Click on Finish to download and complete the import. This will also automatically import dependencies for this application. The application is called as app_webserver_demo_flash in the Project Explorer window. Building the Webserver demo application: Click on the app_webserver_demo_flash item in the Project Explorer window. Click on the Build (indicated by a Hammer picture) icon. Check the Console window to verify that the application has built successfully.

3 Embedded Webserver Demo (SPI Flash) Quickstart Guide 3/5 4 Run the application Store the web pages in the on-board SPI flash: In the Project Explorer window, locate the app_webserver_demo_flash_flash_in_tcp_handler.xe in the (app_webserver_demo_flash -> Binaries). Right click on app_webserver_demo_flash_flash_in_tcp_handler.xe and click on (Flash As -> Flash Configurations...). In the Flash Configurations window, double click the xcore Application to create a new flash configuration. Navigate to XFlash Options tab and apply the following settings: Check Boot partition size (bytes): and its value as 0x10000 Other XFlash Options: as data bin/flash_in_tcp_handler/web_data.bin Click on Apply and then Flash to the XMOS device. Check the Console window to verify flashing progress. After successful flashing, power cycle the slicekit core board. Figure 2: Flash options To run the application using xtimecomposer studio: In the Project Explorer window, locate the app_webserver_demo_flash_flash_in_tcp_handler.xe in the (app_webserver_demo_flash -> Binaries). Right click on app_webserver_demo_flash_flash_in_tcp_handler.xe and click on (Run As -> xcore Application). A Select Device window appears. Select XMOS XTAG-2 connected to L1 and click OK. Demo:

4 Embedded Webserver Demo (SPI Flash) Quickstart Guide 4/5 The following message appears in the Console window of the xtimecomposer studio: Address : Gateway : Netmask : At this point, the XMOS device is trying to acquire an IP address in the network. Wait for some time (approximately 10 seconds) for the following message to appear in the Console window. Note, the IP address may be different based on your network: ipv4ll : Open a web browser (Firefox, etc...) in your host computer and enter the above IP address in the address bar of the browser. It opens a web page as hosted by the simple webserver running on the XMOS device. Figure 3: Page hosted by webserver running on XMOS device 5 Next steps The (app_webserver_demo_flash -> web) contains web pages that the webserver hosts. Look at the Embedded Webserver Function Library - the underlying module for this application; for details on adding a website to your application. This includes adding dynamic content in the website.
