\section winintro-intro Introduction
|
||||
|
||||
This is a brief introduction to Contik/ESB programming under Windows
|
||||
using cygwin and some other free software tools.
|
||||
|
||||
\section winintro-installing Installing the development environment
|
||||
|
||||
This sections describes how to install all the necessary software
|
||||
to get started with ESB programming.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection winintro-installing-cygwin Cygwin - a Linux-like environment for Windows
|
||||
|
||||
The first "need to have" software is the cygwin environment that can
|
||||
be found at http://www.cygwin.com. Click on the icon "Install
|
||||
Cygwin Now" to the right to get the installation started.
|
||||
|
||||
Choose "Install from Internet" and then specify where you want to
|
||||
install cygwin (recommended installation path:
|
||||
<tt>C:\\cygwin</tt>). Continue with the installation until you are
|
||||
asked to select packages. Most packages can be left as "Default" but
|
||||
there is one package that are not installed by default. Install the
|
||||
following package by clicking at "Default" until it changes to
|
||||
"Install":
|
||||
|
||||
- Devel - contains things for developers (make, etc).
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
When cygwin is installed there should be a cygwin icon that starts
|
||||
up a cygwin bash when clicked on. Whenever it is time to compile and
|
||||
send programs to the ESB nodes it will be done from a cygwin shell.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection winintro-installing-editor C programming editor
|
||||
|
||||
If you do not already have a nice programming editor it is a good
|
||||
idea to download and install one. The Crimson editor is a nice
|
||||
windows based editor that is both easy to get started with and
|
||||
fairly powerful.
|
||||
|
||||
Crimson Editor can be found at:
|
||||
http://www.crimsoneditor.com/
|
||||
|
||||
The editor is useful both when editing C programs and when
|
||||
modifying scripts and configuration files.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection winintro-installing-compiler MSP430 Compiler and tools
|
||||
|
||||
A compiler is needed to compile the programs to the MSP430
|
||||
microprocessor that is used on the ESB sensor nodes. Download and
|
||||
install the GCC toolchain for MSP430 (recommended installation path:
|
||||
C:\\MSP430\\).
|
||||
|
||||
The GCC toolchain for MSP430 can be found at:
|
||||
http://sourceforge.net/projects/mspgcc/
|
||||
|
||||
When the above software is installed you also need to set-up the
|
||||
PATH so that all of the necessary tools can be reached. In cygwin
|
||||
this is done by the following line (given that you have installed
|
||||
at recommended locations):
|
||||
|
||||
<tt>
|
||||
export PATH=\$PATH:/cygdrive/c/MSP430/mspgcc/bin
|
||||
</tt>
|
||||
|
||||
This line can also be added to the .profile startup file in your cygwin
|
||||
home directory
|
||||
(<tt>C:\\cygwin\\home\\\<YOUR USERNAME\>\\.profile</tt>).
|
||||
|
||||
If your home directory is located elsewhere you can find it by
|
||||
starting cygwin and running \c cd followed by \c pwd.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection winintro-installing-contiki The Contiki operating system, including examples
|
||||
|
||||
When programming the ESB sensor nodes it is very useful to have an
|
||||
operating system that takes care of some of the low-level tasks and
|
||||
also gives you as a programmer APIs for things like events, hardware
|
||||
and networking. We will use the Contiki operating system developed by
|
||||
Adam Dunkels, SICS, which is very well suited when programming small
|
||||
embedded systems.
|
||||
|
||||
The Contiki OS can be found at:
|
||||
http://www.sics.se/~adam/contiki/
|
||||
|
||||
Unzip the Contiki OS at (for example) C:\\
|
||||
and you will get the following directories among others:
|
||||
|
||||
- contiki-2.x/core - the contiki operating system
|
||||
- contiki-2.x/platform/esb - the contiki operating system drivers, etc for the ESB
|
||||
- contiki-2.x/platform/esb/apps/ - example applications for the ESB
|
||||
|
||||
\section winintro-testing Testing the tools
|
||||
|
||||
Now everything necessary to start developing Contiki-based sensor net
|
||||
applications should be installed. Start cygwin and change to the
|
||||
directory <tt>contiki-2.x/platform/esb/</tt>. Then call <tt>make
|
||||
beeper.co</tt>.
|
||||
|
||||
If you get an error about multiple cygwin dlls when compiling, you
|
||||
need to delete <tt>cygwin1.dll</tt> from the MSP430 GCC toolchain
|
||||
(<tt>C:\\MSP430\\bin\\cygwin1.dll</tt>).
|
||||
|
||||
Connect a node and turn it on. Upload the test application by calling
|
||||
<tt>make beeper.u</tt>.
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection winintro-testing-development Development tools
|
||||
|
||||
- <tt>make \<SPEC\></tt> will compile and make a executable file ready
|
||||
for sending to the ESB nodes. Depending on the \c SPEC it might even
|
||||
startup the application that sends the executable to the
|
||||
node. Typically you would write things like <tt>"make beeper.u"</tt>
|
||||
to get the file <tt>beeper.c</tt> compiled, linked and sent out to the
|
||||
ESB node
|
||||
|
||||
\subsection winintro-testing-shell Some basic shell commands
|
||||
|
||||
- <tt> cd \<DIR\></tt> change to a specified directory (same as in DOS)
|
||||
- <tt> pwd \<DIR\></tt> shows your current directory
|
||||
- <tt> ls</tt> list the directory
|
||||
- <tt> mkdir \<DIR\></tt> creates a new directory
|
||||
- <tt> cp \<SRC\> \<DEST\></tt> copies a file
