[Tinyos-help] RE: how to program the MICA2

[Darren Bishop]

Sorry, in my last e-mail I meant you have to use gdb, not dbg - although,
you will find it useful dbg(.) calls in you code.

 

The tools you have to go away and research are:

 

TinyOS - tutorials and source code would be good start

TOSSIM - there are white papers for this

ncc - man pages

gdb - man pages

mica2 - refer to the vendor documentation

 

You are not going to learn this stuff over-night and there are no
silver-bullets nor substitutes for reading the literature.

 

Please email the mail list in future. If you email me directly I will not
reply

 

Best regards,

>From your other e-mail, I think you mis-understood what your
colleague/friend/adviser said. You can use the CDT Eclipse plugin to 
write TinyOS code - this is because nesC is derived from C. CDT
accommodates both C and C++ programmers but this does not mean you can
write C++ to be used on TinyOS.

What your source did not know is that there are a few Eclipse plugins 
available designed for nesC coding specifically. Google 'Eclipse TinyOS'
to find them.

You will still need to learn nesC as the programming model is
significantly different to C and C++.

I do not know how to upload code to Mica2 motes; we use Moteiv Telosb 
motes here connected by usb. I would run a command like the following:

make telosb install.0 bsl,/dev/hen/motes/USB0

Try changing telosb to mica2

Kind regards,

Darren
