Re: [Tinyos-help] tmote mini tinyos 2.x compatibility question
Thanks everyone, I am indeed using the usb red board tmote mini development kit. The tmote-bsl worked fine on windows with tinyos-2.x, but I'm having some problems with the linux version, from linux/moteiv- tools-0.2-20070507-i386.tar.gz in the install CD. When I run on the terminal I get [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~/bin $ tmote-bsl -e -r -c /dev/ttyUSB0 -p main.ihex -bsl=mini Using mote M4AJ009D on port /dev/ttyUSB0. Mass erase. Error, get_modem_status: Bad address Does anyone know if there is a way to run tmote-bsl on linux? I tried to wine with the windows version but it doesn't understand the serial port very well. Thanks in advance, ~Dimas~ 2007/12/18, Robert Szewczyk [EMAIL PROTECTED]: If you're using the Tmote mini dev. kit boards (red boards with tmote mini soldered onto them) they are compatible with TinyOS 2.x BUT you have to use the download program called tmote-bsl instead of tos-bsl or msp430-bsl. tmote-bsl was shipped with the install CD that came with the dev kit. ___ Tinyos-help mailing list Tinyos-help@millennium.berkeley.edu https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help

If you're using the Tmote mini dev. kit boards (red boards with tmote mini soldered onto them) they are compatible with TinyOS 2.x BUT you have to use the download program called tmote-bsl instead of tos-bsl or msp430-bsl. tmote-bsl was shipped with the install CD that came with the dev kit.

I am using the default boomerang distribution that came with the motes but it unfortunatelly apears to support only tinyos 1.x . I used to work with Mica2 + tinyos 2.x and plan to port some of my code but am having some trouble to use tinyos 2.x . Apparently, Tmote Sky is code compatible with Telos revision B, the only differences between both being some minor hardware tweaks. Tmote mini's specification by moteiv says it is code compatible with tmote sky. Also, tinyos 2.x apparently has a tmote target wich seems only to be a telosb alias. Anyway, when I tried to download code to my mote via USB the bootstrap loader (bsl) gave a timeout error. I suspect the minis may have a different bootstrap loader sequence. I am using the latest ( 2.0.2) version of tinyos. Summarizing, is there a way to use tinyos 2.x with tmotes mini? ~Dimas~ ___ Tinyos-help mailing list Tinyos-help@millennium.berkeley.edu https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help ___ Tinyos-help mailing list Tinyos-help@millennium.berkeley.edu https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help

There is no need to create a new platform, that is leading down a road of painful nights and many tears of motes not working. Simply, the bsl on the Tmote Mini development kit uses a different protocol. Simply use the tmote-bsl.exe included on the CD in your Tmote Mini developer's kit, and you'll be able to program your Tmote Minis using the red adapter boards. -Joe On 12/18/07, John Griessen [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Dimas Abreu Dutra wrote: Hello, I am beginning a research with some tmote mini when I tried to download code to my mote via USB the bootstrap loader (bsl) gave a timeout error.
