How to generate .bin from web files (Web server application)

Alexis Galindo Flores 6

Hi everybody,

I am working with AZURE RTOS and I have implemented an HTTP web server application. I started from the example available in CubeIDE. Everything is working properly but now I need to modifiy the HTTP web page. For this, it is necessary to generate a .bin file from the .js, .css and .html files:

Could somebody help me with this issue? I think it should exists a script or something like that for it.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @AlexisGalindoFlores-3902 ,
Can you share the device you are using and the link to the example you followed in CubeIDE?
I would recommend you look at our getting-started guides: https://github.com/azure-rtos/getting-started

Thanks!

Sure @António Sérgio Azevedo .

I'm using the following example available in CubeIDE libraries:

X-CUBE-AZRTOS-F4\1.0.0\Projects\STM32F429ZI-Nucleo\Applications\NetXDuo\Nx_WebServer

There are others examples using the same approach. I will take a look to your recommendation anyway. Thanks!

Could you share more details on generating a bin file on server side? Do you mean to upload file from client, respond a dynamic web page to client or something like what PHP does?

It's easier than that. The thing is that it is necessary to store the web files into the flash memory (.html, .js and .css). The procedure shown in several examples is generating a .bin including these files but I don't know how to do it. i'm trying it using perl but I'm not an expert in this language so it is difficult to me to understand what I'm doing.

If I understand correctly, you are trying to put some files on web server so you don't need to generate the web page dynamically. Here is a sample. To use files from file system (flash memory in your case), you will need to open a FileX media and pass it to nx_web_http_server_create. In callback function, if you want the file system to handle the requested URI, simply return NX_SUCCESS as shown here.

Hi @António Sérgio Azevedo and @Tiejun Zhou , I'm still trying to generate the .bin file for access to the web server content. I need to store it in the flash memory.

Regards.

Actually problem (i.e. original questions, as I understand, because have the same problem ) is - how to convert WEB files (HTML, CSS, JS) to .bin file on CubeIDE or IAR for examples for STM32F4 processors.

In provided examples one can see this WEB files and .bin files created by some magic. This .bin file can be programmed in FLASH and used.

So questions - what the magic converts WEB files to .bin file and how to use it?
