SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill enables developers to build and deploy feature-rich static web servers on Nordic NCS devices, unifying static assets, REST APIs, and real-time WebSocket streams into a single, deployable module.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Static Resources: Serve HTML, CSS, JavaScript, images, and 3D assets from embedded or filesystem-backed storage.
  • Dynamic REST APIs: Expose device controls and status via JSON endpoints for configuration and monitoring.
  • WebSocket Streams: Provide real-time sensor data and live UI updates for dashboards and device portals.
  • Use Case: Build a device configuration portal with a responsive UI that updates in real time as settings change.

Quick Start

Copy templates and scaffolding from the webserver module to begin building a web UI on your Nordic device.

FAQPage Schema
How do I host a static web server with REST APIs and WebSocket streams on Nordic NCS devices?▼

You can host a static web server on Nordic NCS devices by leveraging Zephyr HTTP server integration to serve static resources, expose REST APIs for configuration, and push real-time WebSocket streams for dashboards.

Can I build a real-time device configuration portal using WebSocket streams on Nordic hardware?▼

Yes, you can build a real-time device configuration portal on Nordic hardware by utilizing WebSocket streams to provide live UI updates and dynamic sensor data directly to connected clients.

How do I serve gzip-embedded static resources like HTML and CSS from a Zephyr web server?▼

To serve gzip-embedded static resources, the web server module serves HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and images from embedded or filesystem-backed storage, configurable via CMake and prj.conf.

Does the Nordic NCS web server support mDNS discovery and TLS for in-field device UIs?▼

Yes, the Nordic NCS web server supports mDNS discovery for easy network localization and optional TLS support to secure in-field device UIs, dashboards, and OTA-like interfaces.

What is the best way to unify static assets and dynamic JSON endpoints for an embedded device dashboard?▼

The best way to unify static assets and dynamic JSON endpoints is using a feature-rich static web server module that combines embedded assets, REST APIs, and WebSocket streams into a single deployable component.

Do I need specific CMake configurations to enable REST API endpoints on a Zephyr HTTP server?▼

Yes, you need to configure CMake and prj.conf settings to enable REST API endpoints and manage static resources on the Zephyr HTTP server integration for Nordic NCS devices.
