Guide to Porting and Configuring Nginx on OKMX6ULx Embedded Linux (Kernel 4.1.15)

*πŸš€ Guide to Porting & Configuring Nginx on OKMX6ULx Embedded Linux
*

We recently tested Nginx (v1.8) on the OKMX6ULx Embedded Linux platform (Kernel 4.1.15). Nginx is a high-performance web server, reverse proxy, and load balancer, optimized for high concurrency and low memory usage.

Key Highlights:

βœ… Yocto Compilation: Successfully compiled Nginx on imx6ull14x14evk, handling source path adjustments.
βœ… Deployment: Packaged and transplanted Nginx to the development board seamlessly.
βœ… Reverse Proxy Setup: Forwarded requests from Nginx to Tomcat 9, enabling efficient web service management.
βœ… Load Balancing: Configured two Tomcat instances on ports 8080 and 8081 with Nginx upstream, ensuring traffic is balanced across services.

This workflow demonstrates how embedded developers can leverage Nginx for robust web services in constrained environments.

πŸ’‘ Takeaway: Embedded platforms can handle high-performance web services with proper configuration, bridging industrial systems with modern web architecture.
