[TinyOS-Help]: Surge.Mainclass error & when staring SerialForwarder, how to set the baud rate??

[Michael Schippling]

For baud rate you usually use the name of the mote platform, like:
serial at COM5:mica2  or serial at COM5:tmote
that also handles some message formatting issues internally.

The error message means exactly what it says: the port is in use.
Some other process on your computer has COM1 open already...it could
be a mouse or something like that.

But I notice, now, that you want to run the simulator "tossim",
not a real system. According to:
http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-1.x/doc/serialcomm/index.html
you can use something like "tossim-serial[@HOSTNAME]" instead of
the COMx spec.
