Re: coffee-manager

Aha! I have solved the problem!

I add a method myInsertFile() at SkyCoffeeFilesystem.java, and then invoke it at ContikiTestEditor.js script. 
That's it!
Thanks anybody!

Thank you very much for your prompt reply, it really helps.

I am not very sure whether i misunderstood the use of  coffee-manager, so i will describe the detail of my work, please correct me if i made anything wrong. 

What i want is to use Cooja with no GUI to simulate deluge protocol under apps/deluge which involves read/write of the node's coffee file system. In order to run deluge i has to insert local file to the node's file system. With GUI-enabled cooja, i can use the node's 'Mote Interface Viewer->Coffee Filesystem' to insert local file to the node's file system manually so i can read/write then in my application. But without GUI, i can't use this method.

What i previously tried is to first run cooja with GUI(so that i can get the .sky firmware and .csc simulation file), and then use coffee-manger to insert local file to the generated .sky firmware and then run cooja with no gui to load this .sky firmware. But i failed at the second step.

Does my method sound reasonable? If not, how can i insert local file to the node's cfs in cooja with nogui?

Please help me.

1.Does this tool mean to insert file to the fireware so i can cfs_read() them in cooja?
2.what does the <file system image>mean? does it mean the .sky firmware?
3.Do we need to modify sky.property file? How to modify it?
4.I've tested it in two computers. In the PC, it gives no response; in my laptop, it give some errors indicate String index out of range.
   I've located the error which happens at  name = new String(bytes).substring(index,index + conf.NAME_LENGTH);(CoffeeHeader.java).
   This is because bytes content is not valid character.But i don't know how to fix it.
Did i use the tool in the wrong way or did i miss something?
Please help!


1. Yes, a file system image generated by coffee-manager can be read through the CFS API, given that you use the Coffee file system implementation of the CFS API. Coffee-manager is integrated into Cooja in the Mote Interface Viewer, which you can access by right-clicking on a mote. You don't need to use it in stand-alone mode.

2. In stand-alone mode, the tool generates a <firmware>.flash image, that can be used by MSPsim.

3. No.

4. There is no indication of how you are using the tool or have configured it, so I can't answer that question, unfortunately.

Instant Contiki 2.5rc2?

Greetings,

With significant changes in source control (SVN->GIT)
and new platforms added (Redbee Econotag), etc. it
seems time to release a new version of Instant Contiki.
I'm willing to help out with this if someone can tell
me how to "sign up".

I think we need to keep it easy to maintain and grow
the community in the face of growing popularity.

Regards, -K-

Re: REST-example compile error on actual 2.5rcfrom git

You can get the hang of the tcp traffic by building the ordinary webserver 
or webserver6 example on the minimal net platform. This page might help:
http://www.sics.se/contiki/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_Wireshark_on_a_Loopback_Interface
Attach zipped pcaps to mailing list posts, they are much quicker to analyze 
(and actually shorter than a text dump).

Importing that packet into wireshark (as ethernet type) shows it is a reset 
from the minimal-net server. Typically resets are because no more ports or 
connections are available, but at least you are talking to the server. 
Debugging that would be fairly easy because you can turn on all the prinfts 
in the uip6 and tcp routines. But get the regular webserver going first to 
rule out something in the networking setup.

Using the link local address [fe80::....%tun0] reduces the number of things 
that can go wrong in getting it to work for the first time.

Re: Instant Contiki 2.5rc2?

It seems a git clone now contains all contiki versions if you back up to the 
version release, e.g. looking at the log of /core/contiki-version.h
contiki 2.5 2a885a476d7842d1197df997ac6910d71fb15668 11/02/10
contiki 2.4 4938df5c0556f320e78705a7ba9f645d3b42f680  01/29/10
contiki 2.3 1c18bf4053db5b69258296c7678c3ca3b42dae6f  06/22/09
contiki 2.2 3cef1046c9ce16eeb1b8c8cc1740fa09af248a3d   07/09/08
contiki 2.1 b0e39e22afed887ae1dd534c413e16e587afb41f 03/29/07
which no longer leaves the convenient excuse of "can't help you unless you 
upgrade to the current version" :)

Release candidates seem very cheap to make. Could version switching be made 
more transparent to the average joe, maybe by creating branches in the 
sourceforge repo  based on each of those points? Release candidate branches 
could then just be deleted when the final release is made, and no one need 
know how the sausage was made.

Re: Instant Contiki 2.5rc2?

Often people just make tags for the releases with git tag.

You then need to push with git push --tags

I suppose branches could be used if you want to maintain old versions
with bug fixes and backports...

Hello all,

 

Just to know if the contikimac put only the transceiver in sleep mode or the µc too?

 

regards,

Re: Instant Contiki 2.5rc2?

Sorry, I was talking about an Instant Contiki
rc that has all the latest toolchains (e.g.
econoTag) installed.  Or is the standard that
people just download last November's version
and install what they need?  If so, then the
solution is just HOWTOs for various platforms...

Re: Instant Contiki 2.5rc2?

Well, sorry to hijack your thread. I thought it was kind of related since the virtual image is not really tied
to any contiki 
version anymore, in fact including all previous versions.

There is a wiki page with toolchain install scripts that could use fixes and additions:
