Fwd: [Tinyos-help] error while incorporating interface CC2420Packet;

[Kevin Klues]

I don't think getting the latest code will help you any.  I haven't
dug into how the inner workings of the cc2420 are simulated by TOSSIM,
but my guess is that they probably aren't.  I'm sure the radio
communication model is probably followed pretty closely, but trying to
call radio specific interface commands probably isn't supported.  I
might be wrong though....

if they are simulated accurately, then your only problem is that
someone forgot to add the additional include directories under
tos/chips/cc2420 to the tos/platforms/micaz/sim/.platform file when
the directory structure of the cc2420 changed.

Try adding in these include directories yourself (i.e. look at all the
directory includes in tos/platforms/micaz/.platform file that are of
the form %T/chips/cc2420/XXX and add them to the
tos/platforms/micaz/sim/.platform file)

Then try recompiling and let us know how it goes.
