RTEMS WebKit

Mentors: Cynthia Rempel is interested in mentoring a student in this

Students:

Status: Some work done.

Introduction: Networked devices are increasingly important, and we should make development of networked applications an easier and more satisfying user experience.

Candidate packages:

• HTTPD: See past work on OpenSSL, Simple HTTPD, and the osmonweb.git and network-demos.git repositories.
  • ​http://www.gnu.org/software/libmicrohttpd/
  • ​http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/
  • ​http://snorkelembedded.webs.com/
• OpenLDAP slapd server

The fields in this table are as follows:

• Project - name of project with hyperlink to it.
• License - software license used. May need to link to license text if dual-licensed or "other".
• Language - what programming language is this written in?
• Active - is the project active?
• OK w/RTEMS Static - Is the license compatible with a statically linked proprietary RTEMS application?
• OK w/RTEMS Technical - Does the code appear to be feasible to run on RTEMS? Does the code make assumptions that would render it unable to run on RTEMS?
• Notes - Anything else

Candidate	License	Language	Active	OK w/RTEMS Static	OK w/RTEMS Technical	Notes
​libmicrohttpd	LGPLv2	C	2012-12-25	TBD	None
​thttpd	BSD	C	2003-12-29	TBD	None
​SnorkelEmbedded	Proprietary	C	2012-01-26	TBD	None
OpenLDAP slapd server	OpenLDAP Public License 2.4.33	C	2012-10-10 / 2013-01-11	TBD	None

We will need to investigate what are viable and license-compliant solutions.

Goal: Create a package that allows for users to add network services to use with their application. The network services must comply with the RTEMS license.

Requirements: This project is mainly about integrating another project with RTEMS. Familiarity with RTEMS build system, cross-compilation, the ability to create good documentation, and some knowledge of network programming are all must-haves.

Miscellaneous Sections

As the project progresses, you will need to add build instructions, etc and this page will evolve from a project description into a HOWTO.
