\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
