[Tinyos-help] Problem using C-based SerialForwarden under Windows XP

[Angel Bartomeu Bonillo]

Hello,

For the project I'm working on I need to use the C-based version of
SerialForwarder. I have been looking for info on the Internet but It
looks like nobody has used this program on Windows.

I run motelist and it says that I have connected a tmote sky (telosb) on
COM6. Then, I run:

/opt/tinyos-1.x/tools/src/sf/sf.exe 9001 COM6 56700 telosb

and it cannot find the serial port.

I have tried to change COM6 into serial at COM6, serial@/dev/ttyS6,
serial@/dev/ttyUSB6, and many other ways and it keeps returning the same
message :

Couldn't open serial port at COM6:56700 or
Couldn't open serial port at serial@/dev/ttyS6:56700 
...
and so on, depending on the second argument.

Then I realized that in my cygwin, there are no devices under the
folder /dev but the stdout, stdin and one or two more. But nothing like
tty's.

Then I wonder if C-based SerialForwarder is suitable for using it under
windows and, in that case, how should I run it or configure it.

Thanks in advance
