Embedded web server |

I know this is a bit OT, but thought some people reading this forum might be able to assist.
I need a embedded webserver with a serial port to communicate with another device and must also be capable of reasonable data storage capacity (MMC/SD Card) and must also have a fair amount of digital I/O (16 or so).
The web server must also be easily integrated with a GSM module to provide GPRS data exchange with a central server (multiple remote web server units will be used and they must all relay data back to 1 server).
Ideally it would be nice if the webserver could be easily configured over the internet (via the central server) to schedule routine tasks. ie it must have its own OS/RTOS.
The other device which the web server will connect to (either serial or ethernet) will be a Zigbee server which gathers data from various Zigbee slaves. The task of the webserver is then to either query the Zigbee master periodically and then push the data to the central server or just to have the data ready when the central server periodically requests it, thus a large amount of NV storage is essential.
The IO is necessary in order for the web server to turn certain devices on and off depending on commands received from a remote device (PDA, cellphone, computer) via the central server.
I did a google search for some web servers but could not really find what I was looking for. I'm beginning to think along the lines of an embedded PC as this would solve a few problems but I have not seen any with general purpose digital IO.
Maybe someone could point me in the right direction? |
