[Tinyos-help] TOSSIM and TinyViz

[Bernd-Christian Renner]

Hello out there,

I'm using TinyOS 1.1.15 under (K)Ubuntu. Installing was a pain to some extent, 
yet it's working now ... most of it at least: TinyViz is a problem!

"make pc" gives me a working TOSSIM executable main.exe, which works nicely. 
The reason for me to use 1.1.15 instead of new 2.0 was the ability to use 
TinyViz as a visualization tool. It's just not working! Java (Sun 1.5) is 
installed and TinyViz starts, displaying everything I need. If I connect to a 
TOSSIM simulation program, that one hangs shortly after start. This behaviour 
has been observed with both

"tinyviz" + "build/pc/main.exe -gui 1"

and

"tinyviz -run build/pc/main.exe 1"

No difference. A node is displayed, one or two debug messages appear on the 
console (in case of the first command series) and that's it. No more debug 
output, nothing to observe in TinyViz (e.g. in case of demo application 
Blink).

Does anybody know what the problem could be? As I mentioned above, without 
TinyViz, the TOSSIM app works nicely. It simply hangs or stops whenever 
connecting to TinyViz. This can be observed plainly when starting the TOSSIM 
app with no -gui option: Output is generated and abruptly stops the time 
TinyViz starts - the TinyViz pause/play button does not bring any life back 
to the app.


Thanks in advance
Christian
