CC4EmbeddedSystem

A modern, cross-platform tool to minify front-end web files (HTML/CSS/JS) and compile them into a single C array file (fsdata.c).

It is designed specifically to optimize web servers running on resource-constrained embedded systems (like STM32) using the lwIP TCP/IP stack. By heavily compressing assets before flashing them into the MCU, it saves precious ROM/RAM space while keeping your web development workflow smooth.

🌟 The Evolution (V1 to V3)

This project has continuously evolved to drop heavy dependencies and embrace modern tech stacks:

• V3 (Current & Recommended): A pure TypeScript / Node.js implementation. It features a beautiful web-based GUI, utilizes the state-of-the-art html-minifier-next, and completely replaces the old makefsdata.exe with a safe, cross-platform TypeScript logic. (Zero C/Java/DLL dependencies!)
• V2 (Legacy): A Python + CustomTkinter desktop application. It wraps the legacy Java compressors and C executables into a standalone Windows GUI.
• V1 (Legacy): The original Bare-metal PowerShell script workflow.

📦 Requirements

For V3 (Recommended, Cross-platform)

• Node.js (v18 or newer recommended)
• That's it! Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

For V1 & V2 (Legacy Windows Environments)

If you must maintain the old workflows, you will need the following legacy assets:

• Java JDK (Tested on JDK 25 x64)
• Google HTML Compressor (htmlcompressor-1.5.3.jar)
• YUI Compressor (yuicompressor-2.4.8.jar)
• makefsdata.exe (Original lwIP C source)
• MSVCR100D.DLL (32-bit, version 10.0.40219.325 required for the legacy .exe)
