\defgroup msb430 The Modular Sensor Board
The Modular Sensor Board (MSB430) was developed by FU-Berlin and was
added as a platform in Contiki in the spring of 2007. In its basic form,
this board features a Texas Instruments MSP430f1612 processor, a
Chipcon CC1020 radio chip, an MMA7260Q accelerometer, and a Sensirion
SHT11 temperature and humidity sensor. The MSB also features an SD card
reader, which makes it suitable for storage-centric sensor networks.
There are also extended versions of the board that are equipped with a
GPRS-modem and a GPS-receiver.
\section msb430-programming Programming the MSB430
The msb430 port requires an installation of mspgcc
(http://mspgcc.sourceforge.net) to compile. Once the compilation tools
have been installed, you can compile your software and Contiki with
three main target types:
<file>.firmware - A system image in ELF format.
<file>.ihex - A firmware file converted to the Intel Hex format.
<file>.u - Direct upload to a node.
The node is typically programmed by typing
make TARGET=msb430 <program name>.u
Alternatively, a ready .ihex file can be uploaded to the node by running
msp430-jtag -l <parallell port identifier> -e -I <ihex file>
