Hi Mark,

thank you for the summary.

I have not had a detailed look into uTasker yet, but worked a lot with Keil compiler and middleware (and liked it). And from what I've seen so far - while Keil documentation currently is more consistent than yours - in terms of functionality uTasker doesn't seem to be quite far away from the Keil middleware.

The original trigger for looking for alternatives is that the Keil web server is limited (e.g. does not support authentication on a per page basis) and additionally does not allow solving the limits due to unavailable source code.

I'll check out uIP first, because it might create less effort for me than getting into a completely new middleware for that project. But it won't take long until a test-drive with uTasker, it looks very interesting and well-priced to me.

Hi Mark,

I'm quite impressed by your project and with some luck it may be suitable for my projects.

Situation:
I'm using NXP LPC23xx/24xx with Keil MDK-ARM  + RL-ARM until now and was quite happy with it. What I was originally only looking for, is a replacement for the Keil TcpNet Webserver (included in RL-ARM), which does not fit my needs. Replacing the whole IP stack or even the complete RL-ARM library could be acceptable, but I actually want to stick with the Keil toolchain, because lots of existing code would potentially have to be touched when switching to a different toolchain.

Questions:

1) Is it possible to use uTasker with the Keil MDK-ARM compiler? Somewhere on your site it sounded like one would have to use the GNU compiler. I have never tried, but I'd expect quite some code to break when switching. So will I have to?

2) Is it possible to use only parts (i.e. the web server + layers below) from uTasker? Or does it rely on being run on a complete uTasker RTOS?

3) Where can I find a documentation/feature list of the web server?

4) All your NXP service packs are marked "beta". What does it mean?

5) Any specific hints from your side, when coming from the Keil evironment originally?

Thanks!

Stephan
