[Tinyos-help] Tos-bsl invoke script

[Hristo Bojkov]

Some weeks ago I posted a query here in this thread about using COMx as bsl
target, not using the standard numbering. So compilation can be started
like:
  >make tmote install,0 bsl,COM18

I received no answer. 

Then I tried to change the tos-bsl by my self in order to be able to compile
with COMx. To do this, I have installed separate Pythion like it is said in
the readme in bsl dir, and I have done every thing proper, but it turns that
it is very difficult to make working exe, because all the time the exe that
I received had issued errors for some problems with components in some zips.
.

Anyway I abandoned the idea, and decided to use the power of bash and have
it to check the parameter of the tos-bsl, and make it in the way that
tos-bsl like it. So my new idea is very simple now. I just rename the
tos-bsl executable with command:
 > rm /usr/local/bin/tos-bsl /usr/local/bin/tos-bsl-exe
Then I create new script file as tos-bsl with body:

#!/bin/bash

Export tmpCOM=${3:3}
Export tmpCheck=${3:0:3}
If [ $tmpCheck = "COM" ]
Then
 Echo COM found
 Export newValue=$[tmpCOM-1]
 Echo Invoke tos-bsl-exe $1 $2 $newValue $4 $5 $6 $7 $8
 Tos-bsl-exe $1 $2 $newValue $4 $5 $6 $7 $8
Else
 Echo Invoke tos-bsl-exe $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8
 Tos-bsl-exe $1 $2 $3 $4 $5 $6 $7 $8
If

And I put symbolic link /usr/local/bin/tos-bsl to my new script file.

Now I can use commands like this:
 >make tmote install,0 bsl,COM18

Of course the old way still works:
 >make tmote install,0 bsl,17

Hope that someone will find this useful
