I will develop a device that must be monitored and controlled by remote 
through an IP connection over Ethernet interface. I'm not an expert of 
embedded TCP/IP and HTTP server, so I would prefer to separate the main 
MCU (Cortex-Mx that I already know) from the "remote MCU" (it is a block 
box at the moment). This separation could be useful if someone will 
decide to give the remote connection as an option.

The big question is how to design an embedded HTTP server, starting from 
the hw to the sw. The device is low-cost and the web pages will be simple.

I understood there's Microchip with its ready-to-use solutions (mainly 
16- and 32-bits PICs), including a free (even for commercial) 
open-source TCP/IP stack. I think it has a simple HTTP server too.

Many others (Atmel, NXP, ST), with their Cortex-Mx MCUs with integrated 
Ethernet controller (with external PHY), use lwip free open-source 
TCP/IP stack. Simple HTTP server implementation is included.

Is there a low-size low-cost embedded Linux solution? Maybe a cheap 
System On Module (with processor and some volatile and non-volatile 
memories)?

The link between the "remote CPU" and the "main MCU" could be a simple 
asyncronous serial link.
