EXPERIMENTING WITH THE DEMO WEB SITE
The PICDEM.net 2 Development Board web site is written in HTML. The complete
source files are available in the \MCHPTCPStack 3.75\WebPages install directory.
You must have working knowledge of HTML in order to correctly modify or create new
web pages. You may design the page by hand (using a text editor) or use a web
authoring tool.
The demo web site is organized as multiple files within a single directory. The Demo
Application includes a special command-line utility program, MPFS.exe. The utility is
written for 32-bit versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems (such as Windows
2000 and Windows XP) to convert a group of files into a Microchip File System (MPFS)
image. Depending on where the MPFS will ultimately be stored, the utility gives you the
option to generate either a data file in C, or a binary file representing the MPFS image.
The complete command line syntax for the utility is:
mpfs [/?] [/c] [/b] [/r<Block>] <InputDir> <OutputFile>
where:
For example, the command:
mpfs /c <Your Webpage Dir> mypages.c
generates the MPFS image as a data file, mypages.c, from the content of the directory
“Your Webpage Dir”. In contrast, the command:
mpfs <Your Webpage Dir> mypages.bin
generates a binary file of the image with a 64-byte reserved block, while:
mpfs /r128 <Your Webpage Dir> mypages.bin
generates the same file with a 128-byte reserved block.
If the MPFS image is to be stored in internal program memory, the generated C data
file must be compiled with the application project. If the image is to be stored in an
external serial data EEPROM, the binary file must be downloaded there.
Modifying the content of the static pages, or even adding additional static pages, only
requires minor changes to the demo web site files, but it will be necessary to rebuild
the MPFS image using the MPFS utility and download it into the external EEPROM. If
you want to display additional real-time information, or support additional HTML forms,
you must also modify the HTTP server callback functions in MainDemo.c. For more
information on the callback function, refer to the Microchip Application Note AN833,
“The Microchip TCP/IP Stack” (DS00833).
Using the Microchip TCP/IP Stack Demo Application
Note:
/? Displays command-line help
/c Generates a data file in C as output
/b Generates a binary data file as output (default)
/r Reserves a block of memory at the beginning of the file (valid only in
Binary Output mode with a default value of 64 bytes)
<InputDir> The directory containing the files for creating the
MPFS image
<OutputFile> The output file name
The current version of the Microchip Stack at the time of this writing utilizes
a 64-byte reserve block. Using a reserve block size other than the default
size of 64 bytes requires a change to the compiler define,
MPFS_RESERVE_BLOCK, in the header file, StackTsk.h. The default
reserve block size may change in future revisions of the Stack.
