Jim Paris 6db05caed9 Fix radio hangups when trying to transmit with radio off.
The border-router tries to transmit and do other stuff after turning
the radio off, and the radio driver didn't handle that very well.
With this fix, it's no longer necessary to reset the border router
after starting tunslip6.

Building Contiki for the EV-ADuCRF101MKxZ Board

On Debian/Ubuntu Linux:

For older versions of Ubuntu (prior to 14.04), add the external package repository that provides recent versions of GCC for ARM:

sudo add-apt-repository -y ppa:terry.guo/gcc-arm-embedded
sudo apt-get update

For all systems, install the required development packages:

sudo apt-get install git make gcc-arm-none-eabi python-serial

Obtain the Contiki source code:

git clone https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki.git

Build Contiki's example-abc:

make -C contiki/examples/rime \
    TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
    example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex

The default radio frequency can optionally be specified on the command-line as follows. A clean rebuild may be needed when changing it:

make -C contiki/examples/rime \
    TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
    RF_CHANNEL=915000000 \
    clean \
    example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex

The code can be flashed to the eval board and tested using adi-cm3sd. Obtain adi-cm3sd:

git clone https://github.com/jimparis/adi-cm3sd.git

Connect the evaluation board using its J-Link board, or any other serial adapter. Flash example-adc and open a terminal by running:

adi-cm3sd/cm3sd.py -a contiki/examples/rime/example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex \
    /dev/serial/by-id/usb-SEGGER_J-Link_000541011111-if00

replacing /dev/serial/by-id/usb-SEGGER_J-Link_000541011111-if00 with the path to the correct serial device. Flash the same code on a second evaluation board to see them communicate.

IPv6 Example

Border Router

First, build and run the IPv6 border-router example:

make -C contiki/examples/ipv6/rpl-border-router \
    TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
    SERIAL_ID='"00001234"' \
    border-router.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex

adi-cm3sd/cm3sd.py -a contiki/examples/ipv6/rpl-border-router/border-router.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex \
    /dev/serial/by-id/usb-SEGGER_J-Link_000541011111-if00

After flashing, close the terminal with CTRL-C, then build and run the SLIP tunnel on the host machine:

make -C contiki/tools tunslip6

sudo contiki/tools/tunslip6 \
    -s /dev/serial/by-id/usb-SEGGER_J-Link_000541011111-if00 \
    -B 115200 -v3 aaaa::1/64

Open the border router's home page at: http://[aaaa::3230:3030:3132:3334]/

Web Server

Then, build and flash the IPv6 webserver6 example on another eval board. The different SERIAL_ID ensures that the webserver uses a link-local IP address that is different from that of the border router:

make -C contiki/examples/webserver-ipv6 \
    TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
    SERIAL_ID='"00005678"' \
    webserver6.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex

adi-cm3sd/cm3sd.py -a contiki/examples/webserver-ipv6/webserver6.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex \
    /dev/serial/by-id/usb-SEGGER_J-Link_000541022222-if00

Open the web server's home page at: http://[aaaa::3230:3030:3536:3738]/

On Windows:

Install prerequisites

Install git with default options.

Install MinGW as follows:

  • Download and run mingw-get-setup.exe.
  • Select Install, Continue, and Continue again.
  • Click Basic Setup on the left panel.
  • Click the checkbox next to mingw32-base, then click Mark for Installation.
  • Select 'Installation -> Apply Changes' from the menu bar.
  • Click 'Apply', then close and quit the MinGW installer.

Install toolchain

Contiki can be built with either GCC or IAR:

Building example-abc

Open a shell by right-clicking the desktop or any folder and selecting Git Bash.

Obtain the Contiki source code:

git clone https://github.com/contiki-os/contiki.git

Build Contiki's example-abc:

  • GCC

      /c/mingw/bin/mingw32-make -C contiki/examples/rime \
                                TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
                                example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex
    
  • IAR

      /c/mingw/bin/mingw32-make -C contiki/examples/rime \
                                IAR=1 \
                                TARGET=ev-aducrf101mkxz \
                                example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex
    

Other build options like RF_CHANNEL and SERIAL_ID can be specified as in the Linux instructions above.

Flashing and running

The resulting file contiki/examples/rime/example-abc.ev-aducrf101mkxz.hex can be flashed to the evaluation board using ADI's CM3WSD utility.

Use a terminal emulator (e.g. HyperTerminal) at 115200 baud to see the program output.
