Building a Sample CGI Application for the uClinux-Targeting ColdFire MCF5329 Evaluation Board
Guide for installing uClinux and building a CGI application for the Boa web server on the ColdFire MCF5329 evaluation board to send CAN bus messages.
Overview
This application note provides detailed instructions for installing and using the open-source uClinux distribution and the Linux Target Image Builder (LTIB) on the ColdFire MCF5329 evaluation board. It covers the setup of the GNU C/C++ compiler toolchain, kernel configuration, and the development of a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) extension for the Boa web server. The document includes a practical example of creating a web-based interface to transmit messages over the Controller Area Network (CAN) bus. Technical appendices provide memory maps for dBUG and uClinux, as well as configuration steps for TFTP and NFS servers to facilitate the development process.
Use Cases
- Deploying uClinux on ColdFire MCF5329 based embedded systems.
- Developing web-based control interfaces for industrial CAN bus applications.
- Setting up a Linux-based cross-compilation environment for m68k-uclinux-tools.
- Configuring network boot and file sharing using TFTP and NFS for embedded development.
