[Tinyos-help] Clearing FLASH memory on a mica2/mica2dot

[Scott Schoen]

I tried using PageEEPROM to erase all of the pages, and it didn't seem 
to change anything.  Below is my simple application.  When I run it to 
completion (suspiciously this happens very quickly) the file system 
still has exactly the same corrupted files list.  Any ideas at what I'm 
doing wrong here?

~> cat tinyos-xbow/apps/EraseFLASH/EraseFLASH.nc

configuration EraseFLASH {
}
implementation {
  components Main, PageEEPROMC, LedsC, EraseFLASHM;
  Main.StdControl -> EraseFLASHM;
  EraseFLASHM.PageEEPROM -> PageEEPROMC.PageEEPROM[unique("PageEEPROM")];
  EraseFLASHM.Leds -> LedsC;
}

~> cat tinyos-xbow/apps/EraseFLASH/EraseFLASHM.nc

includes PageEEPROM;
module EraseFLASHM {
  provides {
    interface StdControl;
  }
  uses {
    interface PageEEPROM;
    interface Leds;
  }
}
implementation {
  int block;

  task void erase_block ()
  {
    call Leds.yellowOn();
    call PageEEPROM.erase(block, TOS_EEPROM_DONT_ERASE);
  }

  command result_t StdControl.init () {
    block = 0;
    return call Leds.init();
  }

  command result_t StdControl.start () {
    call Leds.greenOff();
    post erase_block();
    return SUCCESS;
  }

  command result_t StdControl.stop () {
    return SUCCESS;
  }

  event result_t PageEEPROM.eraseDone(result_t result) {
    call Leds.yellowOff();
    if (result != SUCCESS) {
      call Leds.redToggle();
    }

    if (++block >= TOS_EEPROM_MAX_PAGES) {
      call PageEEPROM.flushAll();
    } else {
      post erase_block();
    }
    return SUCCESS;
  }

  event result_t PageEEPROM.flushDone(result_t result) {
    call Leds.greenOn();
    return SUCCESS;
  }

  event result_t writeDone(result_t result) { return SUCCESS; }
  event result_t PageEEPROM.writeDone(result_t result){ return SUCCESS; }
  event result_t PageEEPROM.syncDone(result_t result) { return SUCCESS; }
  event result_t PageEEPROM.readDone(result_t result) { return SUCCESS; }
  event result_t PageEEPROM.computeCrcDone(result_t result, uint16_t crc)
  { return SUCCESS; }
}
