[Tinyos-help] Regarding Crossbow Xserve Error

[Coalton Bennett]

Hello All,
               For any skilled Crossbow users who are familiar with Xserve
I have a question about viewing the output from the
mote(s). I am going through some of the tutorials that come
with the software package and I am currently on lesson 2
(for those of you who have gone through the tutorials as
well these tutorials are in the MoteWorks Getting Started Guide section
6.2.3 or page 59). I was successfully able to compile and install the code
on the mote with no problems. In this tutorial a MTS310 sensor board and
the transceiver are both connected to the a MIB510 programming board on
opposite sides. The sensing application that I am using is the light
sensor.
           Now for the question. I am basically trying to view the output
of the sensor and followed the directions in the guide which
state that I should open a Cygwin command prompt window and
then type the following: xserve -device=COM1 which I did, only
to get the following message:

XSERVE 2.0.E: $ID: XSERVE.C,V 1.8.2.3 2007/02/02 17:45:01 RKAPUR EXP $
Warning: Converting Windows COM1 device to Cygwin device.
Using params: [raw] [parsed] [converted] [server port=9001]
Opening serial device: /dev/ttyS0 @ 57600

Then there is no output to the screen the cursor continues to blink and
stare me in the face. From the screen shots in the user's manual/guide
there should be output scrolling along the screen, but for some reason
there isn't. What am I doing incorrect? If anyone can provide me with some
insights I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.
