[Tinyos-help] trouble uploading to mica z

[Mike Smith]

Sam,   Crossbow currently supports TinyOS 1.1.10 for the use of our software applications.  There are several bugs in the more recent versions and although we continue to test some of the newest versions we think it is important to have a stable version to work from.  In response to your questions, please consider the following possibilities:   1)       Make sure that your SW2 switch is in the OFF position on the MIB510 at all times and make sure that the green LED is lit. 2)       In version 1.1.11 and higher you will need to type “make micaz install mib510,/dev/ttyS0” for COM1,  “ttyS1” for COM2 the first time you attempt to install to the mote.  If you don’t do this, you can hang the COM port which prevents further communication.  Simply reboot the computer and try the command line above if you have a frozen COM port 3)       Your output should look like this:   uisp -dprog=mib510 -dserial=com1 --wr_fuse_h=0xd8 -dpart=ATmega128   The –dprog indicates you are using the MIB510 and the –dserial output indicates your COM port.  If the –dprog output states “dapa”, this means you are trying to access the parallel port which will result in a series of flash errors. Sincerely, Michael Smith Application Engineer/Tech Support Crossbow Technology, Inc.
