[Tinyos-help] Application and Printf freezes after a certain period

[Jan Gäbler]

Hello together,

I have a strange problem. I run a tiny application on a sensor node which  
sends every three seconds an event towards the base station. For this, I  
use the station shipped with tinyos-2.x. On PC side, a Java application  
reads the messages via the common tinyos.jar / MoteIF. This works fine,  
for a amount of approximately 400 messages. I monitor the process  
additional by a Printf Client, which shows, every time a message is  
transmitted by the node, a simple string.

Have the number of packages reached, the Printf Client and my pc  
application will be receiving nothing. A stop of Printf Client and  
application will continues the displaying again for round about 400  
messages. The application on the sensor node works fine, all the time. I’m  
running my test application on Fedora 9 with java 6 and tinyos-2.x. The  
error is repeatably, with a draft by the number of packages. Any hints???

Thanks, Jan
