The smallest webserver

Have you ever wonder a small tiny single microchip can hold a complete small computer including CPU (central processing unit), memory, serial port interface circuitry, and clock oscillator. The above picture shows the world smallest implementation of a TCP/IP stack HTTP web server.

The chip is connected directly to an Internet router, which is essentially the same as an Internet connection from an ISP. When you visit the iPic Web-server,your web-browser connects to the chip shown in these photographs and the web-pages you see are sent to your web-browser directly from the tiny chip. And also it uses the world smallest file systems.

Note: The serial link to the iPic demo site is currently offline but will be back up shortly.
