Installing Intel Mote 2 Development Environment for TinyOS 1.x:

The Intel Mote 2 development environment requires Cygwin, Wasabi tool suite, xflash programming tool and TinyOS/Nesc. The Intel Mote 2 platform code is available on sourceforge and can be downloaded from there.

Please follow the detailed instructions below to install and configure the development environment. These instructions are a compilation our experience of setting up the tools and the following resources

Step 1 Installing Cygwin

• Obtain the latest cygwin version from http://sourceware.org/cygwin/
• Install cygwin in C:\cygwin
• Choose "Install for all users" and "use unix file types"
• In the options if you can install "ALL," this is safest option
• After installing (this will take some time), run cygwin once to ensure the setup worked correctly.

Step 2 Installing Tinyos-1.1

• Go to c:
• Run

	cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@tinyos.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/tinyos co -P tinyos-1.x

• Go to tinyos-1.x/tos/platform
• Type:

	ln -s ../../beta/platform/imote2 imote2
	ln -s ../../beta/platform/pxa27x pxa27x

• In your home directory open your .bash_profile file
• Add the follwoing lines to it

	export TOSROOT=/cygdrive/c/tinyos-1.x
	export TOSDIR=$TOSROOT/tos
	export MAKERULES=$TOSROOT/tools/make/Makerules

Step 3 Install NesC

• Download the rpm from the TinyOS website http://www.tinyos.net/dist-1.2.0/tinyos/windows/nesc-1.2.8a-1.cygwin.i386.rpm
  *Note: make sure you get this version, otherwise the assignment files we give you WILL NOT work.
• Run

	rpm -ivh nesc-1.2.8a-1.cygwin.i386.rpm

Step 4 Install Wasabi

• The Wasabi toolsuite can be downloaded from http://www.intel.com/design/intelxscale/dev_tools/031121/
  • Accept the license terms
  • Choose the Wasabi Systems Gnu Tools for Windows Host Elf generated binaries
  • Install the Wasabi tools to c:/wasabi
  • Add /cygdrive/c/wasabi/usr/local/bin top your PATH in .bash_profile file:

  		PATH=/cygdrive/c/wasabi/usr/local/bin:$PATH

• Make sure you can run xscale-elf-gcc

Step 5 Testing the setup

• Compile and build Blink application
• Go to $TOSROOT/apps/Blink
• Type:

		make imote2 debug

• It should complete but complain about dwarf2bd. If it doesn't complete and gives you an error message about an e drive “cc1: /cygdrive/e/wasabi_drops/…../include: No medium found”, insert a CD in your e drive and try again. This is a known issue that we are trying to debug currently. If it doesn't complete but you don't get the error about the e drive, check your environment variables.
• Load iMote2 with Blink
• Put $TOSROOT/contrib/imote2/tools/bin into your PATH
• Go to $TOSROOT/contrib/imote2/tools/bin

		chmod a+x *

• Connect USB cable to Intel Mote 2
• Go to $TOSROOT/apps/Blink and compile it (if you haven't yet)
• Run

		USBLoaderHost.exe -p ./build/imote2/main.bin.out

• After program loads the led should flash red color.
• Test mote shell:
• Run

		iMoteConsole.exe

• Click on "View Buffer In Window" option. This will start a new window, push the Connect button. Go to the large box (click anywhere inside the box), and push the enter button, you will see a "BluSH>" prompt. Type ls to see available commands.
