I need to write an user menu for an embedded device (mips linux). The menu has to be accessible from network (web page – AJAX?) and it has to be able to read/write hardware settings. What would be the easiest way to implement such an app/server? Where do I start?
PS: c/c++ preferred.
PS 2: I have limited resources
Take a look at mongoose embeddable web server.
