[Tinyos-help] Problem while deploying Agilla on Mica2 sensors

[Michael Schippling]

I think I remember having UISP hang up and hold onto the port.
I've forgotten why it hangs now and it was a long time ago.
Something to do with cygwin versions and port names and stuff.
There's a "-v4" verbose argument you can use, try uisp --help.
You might find something in the help list archive from, err...2003-4?
Once it's hung you probably have to either kill the bash window
or even reboot to get it to give up.
