Telos B driver won't flash .sky image #100

If one tries to flash a Telos B mote with a .sky image (Contiki) it fails with the following error message:

Tested with Wiselib application compiled for sky... compiler output:

...
msp430-objcopy -O ihex out/contiki-sky/uart_echo.elf out/contiki-sky/uart_echo.hex
msp430-objcopy -O binary out/contiki-sky/uart_echo.elf out/contiki-sky/uart_echo.bin
...

If you use the .hex file generated the flashing works. The .bin file doesn't work.

Looking at TinyOS and Contiki documentation it seems to be very clear that the hex/ihex file should be used for flashing. Therefore I'm closing this ticket. Please feel free to reopen in case I'm wrong here!
