[Tinyos-help] Deluge mica2 reboot problem

[Simon Willis]

I thought I would post an update. I have been able to get Deluge working 
fine by downloading revision 1.1 of TOSBootM.nc and compiling TOSBoot 
using this file. The latest revision of TOSBootM.nc is v1.4, when I 
compile using this file I can inject a program and issue a reboot, but 
it will not reboot properly. I found that it fails in the programImage 
function at the following line, which apparently checks that the image 
starts on the correct boundary.

 if (intAddr != TOSBOOT_END) {

      call ExtFlash.stopRead();

      return R_INVALID_IMAGE_ERROR;

    }


I found the following comment in CVS when revision 1.3 was added:

fail if the program image starts at the wrong address
(program too small or compiled for a different bootloader/revision)


Does this mean that I am compiling my program wrongly or something? I 
have updated all of the /lib/Deluge (and TOSBoot) directory from CVS. I 
compile my program using the following steps:
-Compile TOSBoot
-Compile and install DelugeBasic
-Compile by Blink test program
-Inject my program and try to reboot.

I am using Tinyos1.1.15 provided with the tinyos Eclipse plugin. The 
fact that my program originally worked using the pre-compiled mica2 
binary that was packed with tinyos1.1.15, may suggest that this was not 
updated in the release.

Thanks,

Simon
