PHPoC System Files

To create an PHPoC-powered IoT devices, It needs to write PHPoC Script files and upload it to PHPoC hardware via PHPoC Debugger (PHPoC IDE). To do so, it need to know directory structure of PHPoC and what kind of files can be uploaded to PHPoC devices.

Directory structure On PHPoC Devices



We can access this directory and files via PHPoC Debugger. It looks like below:


./mmap folder contains setting information and it can not access via PHPoC Debugger. It is only accessible via source code.

What kind of files can be uploaded to PHPoC devices?

• Of course, we can upload .php files (called PHP files or PHPoC files) to PHPoC devices. PHPoC files is categorized into three types based on functionalities:
  • Library files, which is usually placed in /lib sub-directory and only contain PHPoC code.
  • Files which is run in system loop. It is usually placed in root directory and and only contain PHPoC code.
  • Files which run in response to HTTP request. This kind of file is usually placed in root directory and is used for Web Application (called, Web Apps). It not only contain PHPoC code but also other code for creating web page (such as HTML code, JavaScript code, CSS code).
• Other file for Web Apps development such as image files (.png, .jpg, .gif ...), JavaScript files (.js), CSS files (.css). These kinds of files is usually placed in root directory.
