Configure HTTP File server for set_os:

This Page provides guidance for setting up an HTTP file server using Flask.

Host : Ubuntu or Windows

Steps:

1. Create a Python script utilizing the Flask framework to implement a web server.

   Download the sample python script utilizing the Flask framework httpserver

   Important

   Necessary prerequisites for running the provided Python script.

   1. install python3
   2. install Flask
   3. Use the telnet command to check for open ports, and then adjust the port in the script(line no: 78) accordingly.
       a. usage of telnet : telnet <Server_IP> <port>
       b. sample example : telnet 10.23.34.45 8080
   4. Adjust the path in the script(line No : 77) according to the location where the script is being executed.
   

2. Create a folder to store all firmware files.

   Below is sample tree structure of folder ‘Builds’

   ├── Builds
   │   └── Build_3.21.23
   |       └── fxupdate.elf
   |       └── osupdate.elf
   |       └── platform.tar.gz
   |       └── platform_3.21.23.0.jffs2
   |       └── response.txt
   |       └── response_ext.txt
   |       └── rootfs_3.20.5.0.jffs2
   |       └── rootfs_3.20.5.0.jffs2_2
   |       └── rootfs_3.20.5.0.jffs2_3
   |       └── rootfs_3.20.5.0.jffs2_4
   |       └── u-boot_3.17.6.0.bin
   |       └── uImage_3.20.1.0
   |       └── x-load_4.0.0.0.bin.ift
   │   └── Build_3.21.21
   │   └── Build_3.10.30
   

3. run the python script in the server.

   python3 httpserver.py
   

4. Navigate to the postman application or mqtt to send the set_os request.

   for instructions on how to send set_os request refer to Local Deployment REST API Guide

Now test from reader for HTTP file transfer.
