[Tinyos-help] acknowledgements in Tinyos2.0.2 usingBaseStationCC2420, not supported?

[David Moss]

Tiago -

BaseStationCC2420 was removed in 2.0.2 because it is no longer necessary.
It was originally there because the CC2420ControlP module needed some
special modifications. Now, because those modifications are now controlled
by software and/or preprocessor variables in the 2.0.2 CC2420 stack,
BaseStationCC2420 is deprecated.

It looks to me like some files in your CC2420 stack are not up to date with
version 2.0.2.  Specifically, the CC2420ControlP you're using is old enough
not to incorporate the newest interfaces defined by CC2420Config - that's
where the errors are coming from.  If you're 100% sure that your
tos/chips/cc2420 stack is up to date, can you be sure that CC2420ControlP is
not being pulled from some other location?  First verify your
tos/chips/cc2420/control/CC2420ControlP provides the interfaces that
CC2420Config is complaining about, and if it does then try adding the
following line to your tos/chips/cc2420/control/CC2420ControlP module:

#warning "Using the newest CC2420ControlP"

When you compile, if you see that line printed to the command line at
compile time, you can be sure of which CC2420ControlP file nesC is trying to
use.  Attached is the CC2420ControlP you should be using.  You can even try
putting that directly in your apps/BaseStation directory to force nesC to
use it instead of some other, older CC2420ControlP.

usingBaseStationCC2420, not supported?

Hi all,

I am trying to implement acknowledgementsin my telosb motes, using the 
tinyos2.0.2.
 I am using the component CC2420ActiveMessageC with the interface 
PacketAcknowledgements as suggested in the TestAcks application of 
folder cc2420. However i can make this work using the BaseStationCC2420 
application ( tinyos2.0.1). The source does not receive any 
acknowledgments from the BaseStation. I found out that in the makefile 
there is the declaration: CFLAGS += -DCC2420_NO_ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, which 
explains the lack of ack. However when i try to compile 
BaseStationCC2420 without this option i have this error:

I know that the CC2420 stack was changed in this last version. Are we 
still waiting for a updated BaseStationCC2420 (since in 2.0.2 cvs it 
seems to be deleted), or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,
Tiago Camilo
