Greetings, Since my last posting I've been able to configure both a Linux Host and XP host with cygwin to compile applications for the Imote2. I basically...
I have successfully used the QUATECH card, although there are some catches with it. Here's what I recommend: 1) Make sure you read the instructions on...
Great news on the setup info. Can you upload a list of instructions of what you exactly needed to do to enable this, so others can benefit from what you...
Hi everyone, I am also seeing the same behaviour. Any program that I try to compile and run on the imote just seg faults. I am compiling on FreeBSD 6.1 using...
Greetings, I was able to locate a laptop with an "on-board" ECP parallel port. I configured the imote2 development environment with window's xp and cygwin....
Hi Bill, Did you follow the installation instructions from this website? it seems that the parallel port driver for the Blackstone Cable / Intel JTAG Cable is...
Lama, That was the problem. I did not install the intel toolsuite correctly. After re-installing I am now able to program the imote2's. I borrowed a Dell...
We are from North Carolina State Univ and we are trying to switch to Imote2 because of their robustness and advantages. After following the instructions...
Hi Panos, you are very close! Make sure that the parallel port in the BIOS of your PC (not just in Windows) is set to ECP and has the right base address as...
Thank you for your response Ralph. It is very helpful to know that there are some people that are willing to help you in your problems with the new motes. The...
With the help of Ralph, I figured out what the problem was. The -tt flag was set incorrectly to "JTAG CPU" instead of "INTEL(R) JTAG CABLE" when the xflash.exe...
Hi Panos, You don't need to fix it in the jtag.extra file, all you need to do is add the following line to your profile: export PXA27X_JTAG_DEV="\"INTEL(R)...
Hmmm, I had already done that and for a strange reason didn't solve the problem. I will look at it again tomorrow. Thanks for the help Lama anyway... I have...
hmm, this is strange. if you print out the variable what do you see (type printenv PXA27X_JTAG_DEV), you should see "INTEL(R) JTAG CABLE" The error message...
Instead I remember doing ... and got the "INTEL(R) JTAG CABLE". So, it must have been correctly set. I will double check it tomorrow when I go to the office...
Hello again, I am trying to collect some data from Imote2. For micas we were using the Serial Forwarder and printf to collect data from the serial port and was...
I'm not sure I get the question fully, but if you are trying to simply printout stuff to the debug port from the application, you can use the trace statement ...
Lama was right. I had set the PXA27X_JTAG_DEV variable but hadn't really exported it. That's why it didn't work in the first place. Thus, it isn't necessary to...
Makes sense, I'm glad the mystery is solved. Happy programming. Lama ... tomorrow ... doint ... you see ... CABLE" ... variable is ... be ... solve the ... to....
This is interesting, but actually my question was how do I send some date to the serial port? I do not want to probe them, I want to print out some data to the...
Hi, I installed the Blink program for the first time and it works fine. Though, in TinyOS 1.1.15, it is giving some inexplicable warnings. These warnings don't...
Panos, If you are sending debug data, you can just use the trace statement as mentioned below in the trace example. This can be used from anywhere in the...
We haven't gotten a chance to clean up these warnings, hopefully we'll get it to it soon. I just checked it though and none of them cause a problem. Lama...
Dear all, I am trying to send debug data to iMoteConsole. When I send 2000 sets of data, it works properly. However when I increase the set number to 2400, it...
Dear all, I am trying to send debug data to iMoteConsole. When I send 2000 sets of data, it works properly. However when I increase the set number to 2400, it...
what do you mean by 2000 sets of data, are you issuing 2000 trace statements? If so, how often are they being sent out? how big is each "set" FYI : direct USB...
Hi, Lama. Thank you very much for your reply. I start to collect sample data, which is get by a sensor board with 8kHz sampling rate, using trace statement as...
I was wondering if we are able to use Active Message in imote2. For example would call DataMsg.send(TOS_UART_ADDR, sizeof(struct Msg), &msg[i]); would work the...
Hi Yukang, Since the debug board has two sets of advanced connectors, why couldn't you use it in conjunction with a sensor board? Is there a mechanical issue...
What sensor board are you using, is it our basic sensor board or did you make your own sensor board? can you send me your application code and I can take a...
