osd-contiki/README-EXAMPLES

The examples/ directory contains a few examples that will help you get
started with Contiki.

To run the example programs, you need either to be running Linux or
FreeBSD (or any other *nix-type system), or install Cygwin if you are
running Microsoft Windows (http://www.cygwin.com/). As a minimum you
will need to have the gcc C compiler installed. To run the examples in
the 'netsim' target, you need to have GTK 1.x development libraries
installed. These are usually called 'gtk-devel', 'libgtk1-devel' or
similar in your Linux software installation programs.

compile-platforms/

  A test script that compiles Contiki for a number of platforms and
  reports any errors found during the build.

email/

  An email program supporting SMTP. It can be compiled and run in the
  'win32' target by typing the following commands:

    cd examples/email
    make
    ./email-client.win32

  Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
  platform/win32/contiki-main.c to match your needs.

  Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP as well.

esb/

  A set of demo applications for the ESB board.

hello-world/

  A really simple Contiki program that shows how to write Contiki
  programs. To compile and test the program, go into the hello-world
  directory:

    cd examples/hello-world

  Run the 'make' command.

    make

  This will compile the hello-world program in the 'native' target.
  This causes the entire Contiki operating system and the hello-world
  application to be compiled into a single program that can be run by
  typing the following command:

    ./hello-world.native

  This will print out the following text:

    Contiki initiated, now starting process scheduling
    Hello, world

  The program will then appear to hang, and must be stopped by
  pressing the C key while holding down the Control key.

irc/

  An IRC client. It can be compiled and run in the 'win32' target by
  typing the following commands:

    cd examples/irc
    make
    ./irc-client.win32

  Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
  platform/win32/contiki-main.c to match your needs.

  Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP as well.

multi-threading/

  A quite simple demonstration of the Contiki multi-threading library
  employing two worker threads each running a recursive function. It
  can be compiled and run in the 'native' target by typing the
  following commands:

    cd examples/multi-threading
    make
    ./multi-threading.native

rime/

  Contains a set of examples on how to use the Rime communications
  stack. To run those examples in the 'netsim' target (a very simple
  Contiki network simulator), compile the programs with:

    make TARGET=netsim

  You will need to have GTK 1.x development libraries installed.

  Run the different programs:
  
    ./test-abc.netsim
    ./test-meshroute.netsim
    ./test-rudolph0.netsim
    ./test-rudolph1.netsim
    ./test-treeroute.netsim
    ./test-trickle.netsim

  Most of the examples requires you to click with the middle mouse
  button on one of the simulated nodes for something to happen.

sky/

  Examples inteded for running on the Tmote Sky board. To compile
  those, you need to have msp430-gcc (the gcc C compiler for the
  MSP430 microcontroller) installed.

  The follwing programs are included:

    blink.c          A simple program that blinks the on-board LEDs
    sky-collect.c    Collects sensor data and energy profile values
                     to a sink. Press the "user" button on the Tmote
                     Sky that is connected to the PC to make the node a
                     sink.
    test-button.c    Toggles the LEDs when the button is pressed.
    test-cfs.c       Tests the 1 mb flash memory of the Tmote Sky

telnet-server/

  A simple TCP telnet server with a simple command shell. It can be
  compiled and run in the 'minimal-net' target by typing the following
  commands:

    cd examples/telnet-server
    make
    ./telnet-server.minimal-net
    
  Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
  platform/minimal-net/contiki-main.c to match your needs.
  
  Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP as well if you are running
  Microsoft Windows.

webbrowser/

  A text mode web browser supporting links and forms. It can be compiled
  and run in the 'win32' target by typing the following commands:

    cd examples/webbrowser
    make
    ./webbrowser.win32

  Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
  platform/win32/contiki-main.c to match your needs.

  Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP as well.

webserver/

  A web server supporting dynamic content creation using "scripts" which
  are actually compiled-in C-functions. It can be compiled and run in the
  'minimal-net' target by typing the following commands:

    cd examples/webserver
    make
    ./webserver-example.minimal-net

  As an alternative to the static and dynamic compiled-in content the web
  server can instead support "external" static-only content loaded from
  any storage supported by the 'Contiki File System' (CFS) interface. To
  compile it in the 'minimal-net' target and have it load files from disk
  use the following command:

    make HTTPD-CFS=1

  Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
  platform/minimal-net/contiki-main.c to match your needs.

  Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP as well if you are running
  Microsoft Windows.
