EVM - DM365 built in web server

 Hi,

I want to hook a DM365 board to a PC and transfer data between the two sides.
It seems like the easiest option is to use a browser on the PC side (as a client) and a Web Server application on the EVM side (as a server).
I got some info that the DaVinchi software package includes such a server, so it can be used.

Assuming it is correct, my question is basically about the way and/or what I need to do in order to actually use it?
is this a simple task for a newbie with DM365 environment or more complex  actions needs to be taken.
Is there a list of steps to be done in order to achieve this?

Thank you,

Danny

    Why not run an FTP server on the DM365 board for transferring files?  What exactly do you mean by "data".

    Thanks, Jhon

    By data I mean to HTML messages in order to control & monitor the EVM behaviour.

    The PC will run a browser (e.g. IE , FF, Chrome etc) thus enabling it to view the EVM's side status. This can be later on be done remotely via the internat.

    I'm curious as to how others are doing this as well.  Here's how I do it...

    My codec application has a command protocol that uses TCP sockets.  It listens for connections as a server.  In order to configure the app with a web server I built a library that communicates via TCP connecting to the application using 127.0.0.1 as the server address.  The library exposes a simple API to set and get parameters, plus send commands.  I use compiled C programs as CGI executables.  Then add a few simple HTML files that run the CGI.

    The new direction I'm thinking of taking is to use Java applets that will use the same interface library instead of CGI.

    Thank you, John

    That's an interesting direction. I'll wait for some more responses and then decide which is the best & easy way to move forward.

    Thanks,
