Contiki on Ethernut

Posted by michael on from the goodbye-contiki-web-server-nice-knowing-you dept.

randomErr writes "Many of you may remember Contiki, the OS and GUI for the C64 and many other 8 bit platforms, which was posted on Slashdot in March. Adam Dunkels has ported Contiki to a more modern platorm: the open source Ethernut board. You can also see the working webserver and VNC server."

    You can also see the working webserver and VNC server.

    If that webserver is hooked up to the net, you won't be seeing it for long. :)

  2. Recipe for disaster by sweeney37 · · Score: 0, Funny

    The web pages you are watching are served by a web server running under the Contiki operating system on an an Ethernut embedded Ethernet board, which consists of a 14 MHz AVR Atmega128 microcontroller with 32 kilobytes of RAM and 128 kilobytes of flash ROM, and a RealTek RTL8019AS Ethernet chip.

    Add one good pinch of Slashdottting and you'll have a beautiful baked server in less than 3 seconds.

  3. Why? by heironymouscoward · · Score: 5, Funny

    The answer should be obvious: a web server able to run on a C64 can run on any embedded system that can emulate a 6502 CPU. This means I can put a web server into my mouse. The possibilities are stunning...

    Yes, within 5 years all mice will have Bluetooth and you can surf to your mouse site and ask stuff like 'how many clicks have I done since whenever'. Using your keyboard, hopefully.

    ...but someone's gotta say it.

    Now go forth, Slashdot readers, and give that server a good kick in the ethernuts!

  9. Oh the humanity! by llamalicious · · Score: 5, Funny

    It seems so unfair, Ethernut vs. Slashdot vs.

    Almost like David vs. Goliath, except in this case, David has two broken arms, no legs, 3 gunshot wounds center mass, and massive blunt trauma to the head. And Goliath is a hungry T-Rex.

    I gotta say, the thing appears to still be responding right now as I post, not bad, not bad at all. Not necessarily *working*, but responding. Hit that /cgi/tcp page and check the connections, truely evil.

  10. Watch out Microsoft by WC+as+Kato · · Score: 3, Funny

    Microsoft better watch out. Contiki is on its way to running on every platform in the world. Once that has been achieved. He'll release a "killer app" and over take Microsoft's domination.

    Keep an eye on the forthcoming IPO!

    So you have actually been hitting "reload" on an mini server that is going down due to a slashdoting in progress? Congratulations! You deserve the "Slashdoting Warrior" metal of honor.

  13. Guess again... by ClassicG · · Score: 3, Funny

    I'm shocked - both the webserver and the VNC server are still up and running. The VNC server is -extremely- slow - you can see it redrawing the individual chars on the screen at the rate of maybe a dozen a second - but it's still going.

    What's the matter with you people - has the slashdot effect lost it's teeth to the point where it can't even crash a little embedded system like this? For shame! :c)
