Embedded Ethernet Programming with HAL

🚀 Embedded Ethernet Programming with HAL 🌐

Welcome to Build Embedded Ethernet Firmware: HTTP, SSI, CGI & Beyond! 🌍

Course Overview:

This intermediate-level course is part of a 3-course learning path designed to elevate your skills in writing drivers for ethernet peripherals and developing embedded ethernet applications. You'll dive deep into using the STM32 HAL APIs, implementing your own interface files for the LwIP library, and creating real-world applications!

🎓 Goal of the Course: Our mission is to equip you with the knowledge and skills to build robust embedded ethernet applications that leverage various networking protocols such as HTTP, DHCP, etc.

What Sets This Course Apart?

In this course, we take a hands-on approach where you'll learn to write detailed ethernet drivers from scratch, unlike the beginner course which provides a foundational understanding. You'll gain practical experience by implementing the ethernet interface files yourself, connecting your custom ethernet module with the LwIP stack.

Here's What You'll Gain:

📕 Course Structure: This course is divided into 4 major sections:

1. Introduction to Networking & STM32F7 Ethernet Capabilities. We kick off by setting the stage with a brief overview of networking fundamentals and exploring the ethernet functionalities of the STM32F7 microcontroller.

2. Writing Peripheral Drivers (ADC, UART, RCC, GPIO). Before diving into ethernet-specific drivers, we'll lay a solid foundation by coding peripheral drivers that are essential for the overall system operation.

3. Configuring Ethernet Module & Interfacing with LwIP. This section is all about getting the STM32F7 ethernet module up and running, configuring its parameters, and establishing a connection with the LwIP stack to enable network operations.

4. Building Embedded Ethernet Applications. Leveraging your newfound knowledge, you'll apply it in real-world scenarios, such as checking for cable connections, obtaining IP addresses via DHCP, hosting web pages using HTTPd, and much more! 🔧🚀

Hands-On Projects:

Here are some of the exciting projects you'll work on:

• Cable Status Check: Learn to detect if a network cable is connected.
• Dynamic IP Address Assignment (DHCP): Automatically fetch an IP address from a network server.
• Webpage Hosting & Management with HTTPd: Serve HTML content over the network.
• Server-Side Includes (SSI): Dynamically update webpages using SSI tags.
• Multiple SSI Tags Handling: Manage multiple server-side includes in a single page.
• CGI Programming: Send and receive data from servers to control hardware based on web requests.
• Injecting HTML Code with SSI and CGI: Embed HTML code into existing webpages via SSI and CGI for dynamic and interactive content.
