Remote monitoring and control by embedded database design and web server implementation using SQLite database and Boa web server

This paper describes the design of embedded system that enables the remote access of database by the implementation of web server. Porting of Linux to ARM9 is carried out to enable further porting of embedded webserver (BOA server) and SQLite database. The ported database is implemented by creating a table, storing the data into the database and retrieving the same. An application is developed for displaying the data entered into the database in a specific format. BOA web server is ported to home gateway platform and implemented in order to enable further enhancements such as remote monitoring of data stored in the database. The web server is implemented by displaying the web page stored in the server, when the concerned server address is entered into the browser. The SQLite database along with BOA web server on ARM platform can be used in industries, remote areas, even at homes for monitoring and controlling the status of appliances and machinery, by adding additional enhancements and doing slight modifications according to the application.
