Graphical User Interface (GUI) for Z-stack Linux Gateway on BBB

Jef Shams

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: Z-STACK

Hi,

I could run Z-stack linux gateway on Beaglebone black(BBB) based on the documents. The sample application is just for a test. Now I'd like to make a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for it. Is it possible to make GUI based on Z-stack linux gateway on BBB? IF YES, What are the requirement for creating GUI:

1. Which operating System(Windows, linux ,...) and Which software (Visual Studio,QT,....) should I use?

2. Which Toolchain (Compiler,cross compiler,debuger,...) Should I use?

Thanks.

I suggest you run Linux on BBB and httpd service. You can easily design a Web UI in this way.

Thank you YiKai. Sorry if my questions are very basic. I've just began to use z-stack-Linux gateway.

1. Should I add special C library to Z-stack-Linux-sample-application to use HTTPD service?

2. where should be the Web UI as a client, on the BBB or out of the BBB (for example Computer which is connected to the BBB)?

1. You can refer to m.instructables.com/.../BeagleBoneBlack-PHP-GPIO and it show you how to install web server on BBB.
2. Web UI would run on a browser out of BBB.
