MSP432E401Y: How to make msp432e401y microcontroller function as a http server

Mritunjoy Das

Part Number: MSP432E401Y

I am working on a project and was using MSP432E401Y microcontroller.

I am trying to store an HTML page in the microcontroller and make the microcontroller an HTTP server such that the HTML can be accessed by say a mobile browser hosted by the microcontroller.

Moreover, the HTML page contains a button using which I can control a led connected to the microcontroller.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible? if yes how can I do it?

I have knowledge of HTML so I can build the HTML page but I don't know to integrate it in the microcontroller. Also, I have little knowledge of JSON and AJAX.

There's an http server example "ethernet-based_io_control" which does this sort of thing. I've used the one from Resource Explorer:

dev.ti.com/.../node

This one uses lwIP, since that was what I was interested in. I think there may be others using TI-RTOS and/or FreeRTOS.

Thank you, Sir.
I need an HTML configuration page using which I should be able to configure the microcontroller like set its device id, device name, etc.
These parameters will keep changing time to time so I wish to change them using an HTML page rather than hard-coding them inside the microcontroller again and again.
Can you please tell me how can I do it and most importantly what I need to learn for that like json, ajax , javascript or any other tools.

If that example doesn't help you, I have to defer to others.
