Embedded web brwser

If you want to have a person do web browsing on a screen, what is
"§embedded" about the system ?

-Michael

the system is a AMD au1100, 16M ram, 16M flash,
dedicated to machinery control: te customer
wants remote access via a http server, and
the possibility to connect the LCD for maintenance
with the same interface used remotely.

This is the reson I want to put in it a web browser.

So the Browser accesses a http server on the same hardware.

Funny idea.

IMHO connecting a standard Laptop via Ethernet for maintenance, sounds
better and cheaper than using a propriety LCD screen device.

Take a look at konqueror embedded.

An additionnal question : if I want to display a web page on a small LCD,
what do I need exactly ?
A X server, a window manager (even a light one) and an embedded web browser
like dillo ?
How big should be the RAM ? Is it possible with only 8 Mb ?

Thanks for your help
Xavier

Hi,
sorry for the dealy in the answer, but I have been out of
office for a week :-)

My setup is Microwindows with Nano-X as X server.
I have seen some browser, such as Links, that
works directly from framebuffer, but I haven't tried it.

My setup has 32M ram: I do not know: with 8M you
should try to run it directly from framebuffer

Links might be for you:

It looks interesting, but I have yet to hear a report from someone
actually using it in an embedded design. If you give it a shot, please
post your experience here so we all know a little more :-)

I've looked at links for an embedded multimedia kiosk. I even had a brief
exchange with the maintainer. I'm guessing that the project is somewhat
fractured and that it is not a priority.

That's a shame, because links is a *very* cool browser.  It's small,
light, and rock solid.  The project just needs a shot of adrenalin.

If anyone is interested, I might be talked into helping out.  I'm not in a
position to do any significant amount of work, but I could help out.  And
I can speak both English and Czech, which might help since the development
team is Czech.

Check out DILLO at dillo.org; very fast, very small.
