Flakeyness abides. I'd try all possible different combinations of hosts, ports, and programmers to see where the problem follows. MS Isabelle Hang wrote: > I have tried something else: > I connect a sensor mote onto a mib520-board to the computer, type in > my command and get the mentioned error.

I suggest you NOT to use any USB hubs, but directly connect to the PC. >From my experience, they can cause many problems, such as firmware burning, packet loss, etc... Not all of them and not all the time, but you don't wont to be a part of statistics :) Arik On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 10:58, Isabel

I have tried something else: I connect a sensor mote onto a mib520-board to the computer, type in my command and get the mentioned error. Then, I disconnect the board and repeat the command once or twice. I reconnect the device and repeat the command again. After one or two times, the firmware is r

Yes, I went and looked. The low port # is the programmer, high # is for MOTECOM. Perhaps you can try your programmer on a different host machine? Or different USB jack/hub/etc? MS Isabelle Hang wrote: > Using the first port, I get the described error, using the second > port, I get the message '

Using the first port, I get the described error, using the second port, I get the message 'Programmer is not responding'. I guess the latter is the data port. Really weird is, that the uploading sometimes works.(Perhaps one time out of fifty). I have really no idea! Have anybody a clue? Best rega

I think the MIB520 has two ports, one for programming and one for data I/O. I of course forget which is which, have you tried both? Do you have any motes already programmed to send data to the PC that you can try as well? I could be wrong about motelist. It might work in some fashion with the 520

Finally, I have reinstalled the system, but still I get the same error. The device manager seems to show quite normal results: Com3 and Com4 are recognized, so the driver is installed. Could it be a driver-problem? Has anybody an idea? Thank you for the information about the motelist command.

Did you move the USB cable to a different port? Widows seems to like to re-assign COM port numbers based on where they are connected. You might try looking in the Device Manager under "Ports" to see if it has any enlightening details. On the subject of Motelist. It only works with telos type devic

I am maybe wrong, but I think that the problem starts in the line, where the program checks the firmware and cannot give a version number. (But I do not know what firmware, perhaps you have an idea?) Until this line, the output is similiar to a successfully running program. Have anybody an idea, w

Hi, I have never used Cygwin (only Linux), but make sure that you are not using your serial port e.g. Serial Forwarder, PrintClient, Listen, etc. You can't use them and program at the same time. Arik On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 17:29, Isabelle Hang < isabelle.h...@math.uni-giessen.de> wrote: > Hi

Hi all, I use Cygwin on Windows XP, a mib520 and a micaz mote. (I am quite new, so do you need further information?) It was all working fine and I was able to program the motes. But suddenly I get the following error, if I try to install a program on a mote: $make micaz install mib510./dev/ttyS2
