[Tinyos-help] one strange question when using MoteWorks

[Giri Baleri]

It sounds like the uisp is not able to proceed beyond the serial COM port. If it did, then you will see output like
 
Firmware Version: 2.1
Atmel AVR ATmega128 is found.
....
....
 
Why restarting the PC solves the problem, I don't know. It could be that some application is taking control over the serial port in the background. Next time when this happens, try looking under task manager and see if any of the processes (Palm Sync, XServe, XSniffer) etc are still running. If yes, Stop them and see if the problem goes away.

Giri,
 
thanks for your reply.
 
I tried both "make mica2 reinstall mib510,com1" and "make mica2 reinstall mib510,/dev/ttyS0". This time, it just stuck at uisp, like
 
===========
> "C:\Crossbow\PN\IDE.bat" "C:\Crossbow\cygwin\opt\MoteWorks\apps\tutorials\lesson_1\" "C:\Crossbow\cygwin\bin" "make mica2 reinstall mib510,com1"
#############################
Command:   make mica2 reinstall mib510,com1
Cygwin:    C:\Crossbow\cygwin\bin
Directory: C:\Crossbow\cygwin\opt\MoteWorks\apps\tutorials\lesson_1\
"/opt/MoteWorks/tools/bin/ide.pl 'make mica2 reinstall mib510,com1' 'C:\Crossbow\cygwin\opt\MoteWorks\apps\tutorials\lesson_1\'"
#############################
bash: [: /home/Bo: binary operator expected

Executing: /opt/MoteWorks/apps/tutorials/lesson_1/ bash -c "make mica2 reinstall mib510,com1"
cp build/mica2/main.srec build/mica2/main.srec.out
    installing mica2 binary using mib510
uisp -dprog=mib510 -dserial=com1 --wr_fuse_h=0xd9 -dpart=ATmega128 --wr_fuse_e=ff  --erase --upload if=build/mica2/main.srec.out
=============
 
this happens a lot in my machine. Sometime it works fine to upload the image. But very often, it stucks a uisp.
 
I use mib510 and mpr400.
 
I have checked the connection, plug, etc. everything. every time this happens, I have to restart the machine.
 
Is there anything I can do to know why this happens?
 
Thanks,
 
Chris

	The command line arguments are case sensitive.
	Try "make mica2 reinstall mib510,com1" or "make mica2 reinstall mib510,/dev/ttyS0" instead and see if it works.

	Hi,
	 
	I use MoteWorks, Tools/shell to upload lesson_1, as follows:
