FRDM with Arduino Ethernet Shield R3, Part 3: Embedded Web Server

Posted on by

This is Part 3 of an ongoing tutorial to use the Arduino Ethernet Shield R3 with a Freescale FRDM-KL25Z board (or any other board you like).

In Part 1 I worked on the SD card, in Part 2 I have added basic network connection. Now time to run a web server with my FRDM-KL25Z :-). With this, I can get access to my board through the network, and the board will host a web page where I can do pretty much everything: showing status, or adding functions to turn on things like an LED 🙂

W5100 as Web Server

The Wiznet W5100 Ethernet Chip on the Arduino Ethernet Shield R3 makes it easy to host a web server with a small microcontroller: the heavy protocol lifting is implemented in the W5100.

To make a web server, I need 3 things to do:

  1. Initialize the W5100
  2. Using Sockets
  3. Host an HTML web server

There are many good tutorials around this subject available. I recommend “Integrating Wiznet W5100, WIZ811MJ network module with Atmel AVR Microcontroller” as this article describes very nicely the features of the device and how the socket interface works. The example used in that article implements only one socket, while I have extended it to support up to four sockets of the device with the help of this article: “Wiznet 5100 library for ATmega devices“.

Initialization

First, the W5100 needs to be initialized:

  1. Reset the device
  2. Configure the network address and gateway
  3. Set up the total 8 KByte send and receive buffers for the 4 sockets

💡 All the source files are available on GitHub.

static void WiznetSetup(void) {
  CLS1_SendStr((unsigned char*)"Reset W5100.\r\n", CLS1_GetStdio()->stdOut);
  /* reset device */
  if (W5100_MemWriteByte(W5100_MR, W5100_MR_BIT_RST)!=ERR_OK) {
    CLS1_SendStr((unsigned char*)"Failed to reset device!\r\n", CLS1_GetStdio()->stdErr);
  }
  CLS1_SendStr((unsigned char*)"Configure network.\r\n", CLS1_GetStdio()->stdOut);
  /* configure network: IP address, gateway, netmask, MAC */
  if (W5100_WriteConfig((w5100_config_t*)&W5100_config)!=ERR_OK) {
    CLS1_SendStr((unsigned char*)"Failed to set Net Configuration!\r\n", CLS1_GetStdio()->stdErr);
  }
  CLS1_SendStr((unsigned char*)"Configure RX/TX memory.\r\n", CLS1_GetStdio()->stdOut);
  /* we have 8 KByte we can use for the RX and TX sockets: */
  if (W5100_MemWriteByte(W5100_RMSR,
       W5100_xMSR_SOCKET_1_MEM_SIZE_2KB
      |W5100_xMSR_SOCKET_2_MEM_SIZE_2KB
      |W5100_xMSR_SOCKET_3_MEM_SIZE_2KB
      |W5100_xMSR_SOCKET_4_MEM_SIZE_2KB
     )!=ERR_OK)
  {
    CLS1_SendStr((unsigned char*)"Failed to set RX socket memory size!\r\n", CLS1_GetStdio()->stdErr);
  }
  if (W5100_MemWriteByte(W5100_TMSR,
       W5100_xMSR_SOCKET_1_MEM_SIZE_2KB
      |W5100_xMSR_SOCKET_2_MEM_SIZE_2KB
      |W5100_xMSR_SOCKET_3_MEM_SIZE_2KB
      |W5100_xMSR_SOCKET_4_MEM_SIZE_2KB
     )!=ERR_OK)
  {
    CLS1_SendStr((unsigned char*)"Failed to set TX socket memory size!\r\n", CLS1_GetStdio()->stdErr);
  }
  CLS1_SendStr((unsigned char*)"done!\r\n", CLS1_GetStdio()->stdOut);
}



Sockets


The W5100 supports up to 4 sockets. For this I have ‘sockets.h’ and ‘sockets.c’.

Web Server


The web server ‘task’ gets called from the application main loop:


    

  1. It gets the status from the socket: If the socket is closed, it opens the socket with TCP protocol on the HTTP port (80), and then listens to the socket.
    2. 

  2. Once a communication connection is established, it checks how many bytes has been received and reads them into a buffer. If there is data, it inspects the data.
    3. 



void SERVER_Process(uint8_t socket) {
  uint8_t status;
  uint16_t rsize;

  if (SOCK_GetStatus(socket, &status)!=ERR_OK) {
    return; /* failed */
  }
  switch (status) {  /* based on current status of socket... */
    case W5100_SOCK_CLOSED:  /* socket closed */
      if (SOCK_OpenSocket(socket, W5100_SKT_MR_TCP, SERVER_HTTP_PORT)==ERR_OK) {
        /* successful opened the socket */
        (void)SOCK_Listen(socket);
      }
      break;
    case W5100_SOCK_ESTABLISHED:
      (void)SOCK_ReceivedSize(socket, &rsize); /* how many bytes received? */
      if (rsize>0) { /* received data */
        if (SOCK_Receive(socket, buf, sizeof(buf), rsize)!=ERR_OK)  {
          break; /* something failed, get out here */
        }
        /* check the content */
        CheckData(socket, buf, sizeof(buf), rsize);
      }
      break;

    case W5100_SOCK_INIT:
      break;

    case W5100_SOCK_FIN_WAIT:
    case W5100_SOCK_CLOSING:
    case W5100_SOCK_TIME_WAIT:
    case W5100_SOCK_CLOSE_WAIT:
    case W5100_SOCK_LAST_ACK:
      SOCK_CloseSocket(socket);
      break;
  } /* switch */
}



Communication between Client and Server


To display a page from our web server in a client (a web browser, such as FireFox), the following happens:


    

  1. Enter the address of the board in the browser (e.g. http://192.168.0.12)
    2. 

  2. The browser connects to the socket I have created with SOCK_OpenSocket() and which is listening to the incoming requests with SOCK_Listen(). By default it uses the standard TCP/IP port 80 (standard HTTP server port).
    3. 

  3. In the server, I get a W5100_SOCK_ESTABLISHED status.
    4. 

  4. The browser sends an HTTP “GET“or “POST” request to the server. With  SOCK_ReceivedSize() the server knows the size of the request, and with SOCK_Receive() the server can get the data from the socket.
    5. 



GET Request


The client is sending a GET request to retrieve the HTML text to display.


HTTP GET Request
HTTP GET Request


A GET is sent as well if I do a refresh in the web browser. The text of the GET request is what I get from the socket using SOCK_Receive(), and looks like this, with a “GET /” at the beginning:


GET / HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.0.80
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: de-de,de;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Connection: keep-alive


The web server responds to this with the HTML code. And this is done in my server implementation with this function SendPage().


❗ Because that source code contains HTML code, WordPress was not able to properly show the source code here. Have look in the Server.c on GitHub.


This constructs the HTML code for my page, which then looks like this:


Web Server with W5100 on FRDM-KL25Z
Web Server with W5100 on FRDM-KL25Z


At the end, it performs a disconnect of the socket so other clients can connect to that socket.


POST Request


A POST request is sent by the client for that ‘Submit Query’ button: it will send me the state of the radio buttons so I can turn the red LED on or off.


HTTP Post
HTTP Post


Such a POST message looks like this:


POST / HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.0.80
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:26.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/26.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
Accept-Language: de-de,de;q=0.8,en-us;q=0.5,en;q=0.3
Accept-Encoding: gzip, deflate
Referer: http://192.168.0.80/
Connection: keep-alive
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: 7

radio=0


Depending on which radio button is selected, there is “radio=0” or “radio=1” in the message. So for such a POST message, the web server needs to


    

  1. Detect that it is a POST message (this is known by the “POST /” at the beginning)
    2. 

  2. Find the “radio=” in the message.
    3. 



strFind()


To find such substrings in the message, I have implemented a simple ‘search substring inside a string and return the position’. This function I have put into my utility component:


int16_t UTIL1_strFind(byte *str, byte *subStr)
{
  int i, len;

  len = UTIL1_strlen((char*)subStr);
  for (i=0; *str!='\0'; i++, str++) {
    if (UTIL1_strncmp((char*)str, (char*)subStr, len)==0) {
      return i; /* found */
    }
  }
  return -1; /* not found */
}



Checkin the HTML Data from the Client


The last piece of the server is the function to find the “GET” and “POST” messages, and then to send the result back to the client:


static void CheckData(uint8_t socket, uint8_t *buf, size_t bufSize, uint16_t rsize) {
  int getidx, postidx;

#if 1 /* debug output */
  CLS1_SendStr((uint8_t*)"\r\n-------------------------\r\n", CLS1_GetStdio()->stdOut);
  CLS1_SendStr(buf, CLS1_GetStdio()->stdOut);
  CLS1_SendStr((uint8_t*)"\r\n-------------------------\r\n", CLS1_GetStdio()->stdOut);
#endif
  getidx = UTIL1_strFind(buf, (unsigned char*)"GET /");
  postidx = UTIL1_strFind(buf, (unsigned char*)"POST /");
  if (getidx >= 0 || postidx >= 0) {
    /* check the Radio Button for POST request */
    if (postidx>=0) {
      if (UTIL1_strFind(buf, (unsigned char*)"radio=0")>0) {
        LED1_Off();
      }
      if (UTIL1_strFind(buf, (unsigned char*)"radio=1")>0) {
        LED1_On();
      }
    }
    SendPage(socket, 23, LED1_Get());
  }
}



For debugging purposes I print the received message to the console.


Putting everything together


Oh, one thing is missing: how to call the server processing function. I do this in my application inside a FreeRTOS task, but that can be done easily without an RTOS too:


static portTASK_FUNCTION(Task1, pvParameters) {
  (void)pvParameters; /* parameter not used */
  WiznetSetup();
  CLS1_SendStr((unsigned char*)"Running web server...\r\n", CLS1_GetStdio()->stdOut);
  for(;;) {
    SERVER_Process(0);
    FRTOS1_vTaskDelay(50/portTICK_RATE_MS);
  }
}

void APP_Run(void) {
  cardMounted = FALSE;
  SHELL_Init();
  W5100_Init();
  SOCK_Init();
  SERVER_Init();
  if (FRTOS1_xTaskCreate(
    Task1,  /* pointer to the task */
    (signed char *)"Task1", /* task name for kernel awareness debugging */
    configMINIMAL_STACK_SIZE+100, /* task stack size */
    (void*)NULL, /* optional task startup argument */
    tskIDLE_PRIORITY,  /* initial priority */
    (xTaskHandle*)NULL /* optional task handle to create */
  ) != pdPASS) {
    /*lint -e527 */
    for(;;){}; /* error! probably out of memory */
    /*lint +e527 */
   }
  FRTOS1_vTaskStartScheduler();
}



With this I have a functional web server on my FRDM-KL25Z board. I can use it to give status, but with the POST commands I can do actions (e.g. turning on or off an LED, etc).


Summary


The combination of the Arduino Ethernet Shield with the FRDM-KL25Z makes a web server implementation very easy. With this, I can use and control the board through the network, a first and simple step into the IoT (Internet of Things) 🙂


The current project is available on GitHub here.


Other ideas for a continuation of this series:


    

  • Having the HTML pages with Java scripts and images on the SD card
    • 

  • Adding easier network integration, like using DHCP instead of static IP addresses
    • 



Happy Webing 🙂

  4. Hi Erich!
    Now I’m trying to access this embedded web server from remote locations via internet. No success yet…
    Have you managed to do it?

    • Cristian,
      no, I have not done this. But there are two things needed for this: a) your router needs to allow that connection from the outside and b) your device needs to have an address which is visible from the outside. DynDNS.org is probably something you will need.

  5. Hi everybody!
    Because I have a static IP I can access the WEB server without DynDNS via the router:
    http://89.122.69.248:8080/
    Here one can see the temperature from the magnetometer (unfortunately the 7805 arrived on top of it and the temperature is influenced by it.
    The page is refreshed automatically every 3 seconds and a counter is incremented.
    Also the data from the accelerometer and magnetometer is displayed.

    TODO: How can I upgrade the program of the FRDM board remotely?

  6. In order to change the led you have to press quickly “Submit Query” button after changing its state, eventually insist 2-3 times, this is caused by the refresh function

        • Hi Cristian,
          Why are you doing the operations with “\r\n”

          UTIL1_strcpy(buf, sizeof(buf), (uint8_t*)”HTTP/1.0 200 OK\r\nContent-Type: text/html\r\nPragma: no-cache\r\n\r\n”);
          UTIL1_strcat(buf, sizeof(buf), (uint8_t*)”\r\n”);
          UTIL1_strcpy(buf, sizeof(buf), (uint8_t*)”\r\n”);
          UTIL1_strcat(buf, sizeof(buf), (uint8_t*)”\r\n”);
          UTIL1_strcat(buf, sizeof(buf), (uint8_t*)”\r\n\r\n”);

          The 3rd line with UTIL1_strcpy() is the problem: it *copies* the string (to the beginning), and does not append/concatenate it.

          Have a look at my Server.c source file on GitHub?

        • Which brings again the question of being able to upgrade the firmware remotely. I think the new code has to be transferred to the SD card and from here using the bootloader to program the processor.

        • Hi Cristian,
          yes, this is how I would do it: transfer the code to the SD card, then reboot the controller, and at reboot it starts the bootloader which then loads the file from the card. It is just that using SD cards is not a super safe method, but for hobyy purposes that’s fine.

  11. Hi Erich, everybody,
    I just managed to modify the code to connect in Active mode, so that the board now acts like a Client and connects to a Server.
    According to the W5100 datasheet in order to achieve Active connection you have to issue SocketConnect command (instead of SocketOpen), providing before the server’s IP and Port. Fort this I created a function
    uint8 SOCK_Connect(uint8_t sock, uint8 * server_addr, uint16 eth_protocol, uint16 server_port)
    similar to
    uint8_t SOCK_OpenSocket(uint8_t sock, uint8_t eth_protocol, uint16_t tcp_port) provided by Erich.

    This will be used also for sending emails via a SMTP server. The code and/or assistance is available if needed.
    Happy Easter

  12. Hi!
    So:
    In Application.c in portTASK_FUNCTION(Task1, pvParameters),
    instead of calling SERVER_Process(0); replaced with
    CLIENT_Process(0);

  13. In order to test it you need a server listening on port 8000. For this I built a small LabWiew application, running on PC. If needed, I can also provide this application as an executable
    The next step these days will be to have 2 FRDM-KL-xx boards talk to each other, one as client ans one as server.

  15. Hi Erich.
    I hope you can help me. I would like to know how to use this project as a client, and not as a server.
    Just to make you know, I’m doing a project where the server already is in the computer (wamp server based on windows) where I access a database. In this database I intend to save the data read by FRDM KL25Z and sent by the ethernet to my page.

    So, my ethernet project should behave as a cliente.. Do you have any idea how to do that?

    Anyway, I appreciate your time. 🙂

  16. Hello Erich,
    I’m not pretty sure whether you still are answering questions about this post, but I will try anyway. 😀
    I’m doing an application with kl25z which has an embedded web server just as showed in the post .However I’m having a problem which, the server, after a while (sometimes 3 minutes or even 30 seconds, it depends) the server simply drops . I still can ping it, but I can’t access the webpage anymore.
    I already debugged it many times, and I still don’t get what is going on. It seems to work properly. So, I was wondering if you would know what it could be or if you already had some similar problem.
    The code is pretty much your example of Embedded Server, I just included a few features, that’s all.
    Thank you in advance.

    • Hi Renan,
      I try to answer questions always :-). I have not seen such disconnects on my side. Have you debugged the thing on the KL25Z? Is your communication to the server from the KL25Z still working? Maybe your KL25Z is hanging (heap out of memory?). That you still can ping the server tells me that the Ethernet module is working, but not the connection to the microcontroller.

        Thank you very much for replying . I’ve fixed the bug, even though I’m not pretty sure what was it. There was not any software bug , it seems that there was some problem in hardware, probably some bad contact, nosy or something like this . As I was using many other peripherals , the wiring was a bit messy . Haha, I did not expect this though , mainly because it started working oO. Anyway, thank you very much for your time.

        • I found the problem. In the new Processor Expert Libraries, when you make the mount the SD, it take the NULL and return -1, so, an error. To avoid that, i put a little string with a cast, (uint8_t *) “0:”. So that resolve the problem with the SD Card.

          Another thing, when i test the WebServer and i try to change the LED state, that function only with the Internet Explorer. With Chrome, nothing hapen. But this is for the size of the buffer readed from the W5100, is to little. I put 1KB and it’s work fine.

          Now, i going to continue my design. I need to create one task to manage the access of an office with RFID Cards and take dataloggin from all the movements. All that, with the possibility to view the movements, create and delete user, through the WebServer.
