[Tinyos-help] StarGate Netbridge

The Stargate NetBridge is based on Linksys NSLU2 and hence you can
program it with latest Linux distribution etc. However, Crossbow's
out-of-the box support is limited to the Debian Linux distribution that
it ships with and XServe/MoteExplorer software that is included on the
USB flash drive. 

TelosB drivers are currently not included on the NetBridge. NetBridge is
offered as a gateway server for MICA and IRIS family of Motes via MIB520
USB interface board. The support for TelosB Motes could be added in the
future.
 
Regards,
Giri

Subject: [Tinyos-help] StarGate Netbridge


We are planning to buy Stargate Netbridges to set up a WSN Testbed at
our University and before we buy things, we wanted to get clarified with
the following two issues:

1) Is it possible to boot Netbridge with our interested latest versions
of Linux kernel? For e.x., 2.6.22 or 2.6.25 compiled for ARM arch. I
think this should be possible if bootloader takes image from the USB
flash disk or if program-flash (ROM) is reprogrammable.

2) Is there any tool available to program TelosB motes connected
directly or through a chain of hubs to the USB port of the bridge? or
otherwise can I install python on bridge so that tos-bsl can be executed
to program telos motes.

Thanking you,
