MakeFSData

This Python script converts web files (such as HTML, CSS, JS, images) into a C source structures that will be used by LwIP filesystem for HTTP server. The script processes files by compressing them with gzip and then generating a C file (fsdata.c) containing these compressed files as static data arrays.

Usage

1. Set the File Path: Update the FSDATA_FILE_PATH variable with the desired path for the generated C file, where the data will be embedded.

2. Directory to Process: The script processes files in the directory Middlewares/Third_Party/LwIP/src/apps/http/fs. Ensure that your files are placed within this directory or update the script to use a different directory.

3. Running the Script: To run the script, simply execute it from the command line using Python:

   python makeFSdata.py

Example

You can check my STM32H7_WebServer as an example on how to run this script to generate the C source files, and use them in a webserver hosted in an MCU.
