CC1000 Webserver

Last updated: June 19, 2008

The CC1000 does not use much room.

Hardware

Beside the CC1000 you will need a MMC/SD card and a kernel with the MMC driver. No other hardware needed.

Partitioning the MMC/SD card

The webserver uses a 1GB SDcard. This space is divided in 2 partitions, a 512MB partition with a VFAT filesystem for the web data and a 443MB (the rest) partition with a bootable Linux EXT2 filesystem. The Linux is not used during normal operation.
Partitioning the SD card is done with the Linux 'fdisk' program. First delete the unneeded partions on the card and then create both new partitions. Of course it's also possible to use only 1 partion that contains the web data.
If you have never done this before, have a look at this sample session

System initialization

The webserver is started from rc.sysinit on u02 (/u02/etc/rc.sysinit).

	/u02/etc/rc.sysinit:

	#!/bin/sh

	# Config files
	cp /u02/etc/config/* /ramdisk/etc

	# Services
	/usr/sbin/httpd -h /u02/www

	# Dropbear
	mkdir /ramdisk/etc/dropbear
	cp /u02/etc/dropbear* /ramdisk/etc/dropbear
	/usr/sbin/dropbear

/u02/etc/config contains resolv.conf with the IP adres of the nameserver.
HTTPD is started with the new DocumentRoot /u02/www
The SSH hostkeys are copied to the ramdisk
The SSH deamon is started.

Uploading the web data

The web data is copied to /u02/www with rsync from a PC running FreeBSD. Rsync is part of the root filesystem.
