Hi,

I've never used those storage interfaces, but I believe that they are
designed to be used with an external flash chip, not the MCU's flash. There
is no such chip on the shimmer devices.

Instead, if you want to use the "Flash Information Memory" on the Shimmer
(of which there is 256 bytes) take a look at how the "InternalFlash"
interface is used in the BoilerPlate application (
http://tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tinyos/tinyos-2.x-contrib/shimmer/apps/BoilerPlate/).
Alternatively, on the Shimmer you have access to massive amounts of storage
in the form of the microSD card. Take a look at JustFATLogging for an
example of how to use this:
http://tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/tinyos/tinyos-2.x-contrib/shimmer/apps/JustFATLogging/

The program image is gets written to the flash memory in the MSP430
micro-controller. For more info on this, and what can and cannot be done,
take a look at section 5 of the particular MSP430's user guide:
