[Tinyos-help] COM port in Cygwin

[Raffaele Gravina]

Not sure if it's actually windows that has troubles with (virtual) COM ports
above 15, as in cygwin I definitely flash tmotes assigned to ports higher
that 15. However, i had problems trying to flash the micaz... there i had to
re-assign manually (thru the Windows device manager) the COM port to one
below 15.
