Telos Rev A (Low Power Wireless Sensor Module) Moteiv Corporation Telos (Rev A) : Quick Start Guide (8/14/2004) Page 1 of 14 Telos Ultra low power IEEE 802.15.4 compliant wireless sensor module Quick Start Guide This document describes how to establish a development environment for Telos on a Windows PC using the Telos Tools CD. It describes how to install the Telos development tools, how to install the USB driver to access Telos as a virtual COM port, how to compile and install a TinyOS application, and how to run basic Java tools such as SerialForwarder to read and write data to and from the wireless network. This document is not a comprehensive guide for developing for Telos; instead the basic steps for getting started with TinyOS with Telos are presented in this guide.Telos Rev A (Low Power Wireless Sensor Module) Moteiv Corporation Telos (Rev A) : Quick Start Guide (8/14/2004) Page 2 of 14 Contents Quick Start Guide..........................................................................................................................1 Contents........................................................................................................................................2 Windows Quick-Start ....................................................................................................................3 Tools Install...........................................................................................................................3 COM Driver Install.................................................................................................................5 Application Compile and Reprogram ....................................................................................6 Running Java Tools ..............................................................................................................7 Bringing It All Together..........................................................................................................8 Telos/TinyOS Manual Install for Microsoft Windows.....................................................................9 Cygwin ..................................................................................................................................9 Initial Environment.................................................................................................................9 Java.......................................................................................................................................9 JavaComm ............................................................................................................................9 FTDI VirtualComm USB Drivers..........................................................................................10 TinyOS CVS Repository......................................................................................................10 MSPGCC ............................................................................................................................10 Patched MSP430 Assembler ..............................................................................................11 MSP430-BSL for Telos .......................................................................................................11 MoteList...............................................................................................................................12 TinyOS Scripts ....................................................................................................................12 Environment ........................................................................................................................12 nesC....................................................................................................................................13 TinyOS Java Tools..............................................................................................................13 General Information ....................................................................................................................14 Document History................................................................................................................14 Disclaimer ...........................................................................................................................14Telos Rev A (Low Power Wireless Sensor Module) Moteiv Corporation Telos (Rev A) : Quick Start Guide (8/14/2004) Page 3 of 14 Windows Quick-Start This section guides you through the process of installing the Telos tools and COM drivers, how to compile and install applications, and how to run Java tools like SerialForwarder. Tools Install A complete install includes Cygwin, Java, the MSPGCC MSP430 compiler, TinyOS sources, and other supporting programs. Run tinyos-msp430-setup.exe or setup.exe from the Telos Tools CD. The installer may spend some time unpacking data in an “InstallShield Wizard” window. Once the main InstallShield Wizard window opens, if this is a clean system, select “Complete” install, which installs Cygwin, Java, the MSPGCC MSP430 compiler, TinyOS sources, and other programs. If you already have some of these programs installed, do a “Custom” install for only the new things you need. The installer then goes through the formalities such as asking you to read the Java licenses before it installs those packages and verifying your install options before it continues.Telos Rev A (Low Power Wireless Sensor Module) Moteiv Corporation Telos (Rev A) : Quick Start Guide (8/14/2004) Page 4 of 14 After completing the initial install phase, the installer continues on to install Cygwin and its related packages. Cygwin continues the installation in a “Cygwin Setup” window. Then, Cygwin performs some additional installation operations in a series of “Cygwin Setup Post-Install Script” windows. Everything is done installing when this “Information” window appears. You are now ready to start programming for Telos!Telos Rev A (Low Power Wireless Sensor Module) Moteiv Corporation Telos (Rev A) : Quick Start Guide (8/14/2004) Page 5 of 14 COM Driver Install This section describes the process to install COM drivers for Telos. The first time a Telos module is plugged into a system, Windows opens the “Found New Hardware Wizard”. Select “Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)” then “Next”. When
