XPort-AR

Hi,

I´m pretty new to these embedded devices.

I want to load an application to the web server. It is based on cgi, but don´t know where exactly I have to put it.

I have the SDK, but according to what our distributor told us, we need th Paradigm C++ compiler to build the application.

My main doubt is: If I want to load a new app that expands the fabric one, do I need t update the whole firmware? Then, do I need to implement the web server from zero, with the SD functions provided?

I don´t know if I´m being clear enought, but I can´t understand how th device works, and the documentation from Lantronix is very good for demos but not for development.

Thanks,

First of all, lots of thanks for your reply.

I am working with the XPort-AR, the new embedded processor, and the ide is load the CGI in the embedded web server so it can work by itself.

When you say that I need a web server Computer, do you mean in th XPort-AR? The device is supossed to have one inside, so I should not nee to have another one, should I?

I am a little lost here... sorry!

Thanks again!! Gna

This all my own guesswork, but I would imagine that the XPort cgi is pure binary so if you wrote your cgi in something like shell script, Perl or PHP you are out of luck. Your cgi scripts need to be written in C or C++ and cross compiled for XPort which is probably where the Paradigm compiler would be useful. You shouldn't need to touch the firmware.

Hi again,

Yes, that is what I was expecting. I loaded a C based CGI in th lantronix, but not cross-compiled. I have the Paradigm Lite version s far, so I cannot test if it works.

I will let you know when I try it. I hope to receive the compiler thi week.

Thanks all for your help, you are great!
