Not able to program telosb after new installation #408

Closed jobishjohn closed 7 years ago

jobishjohn commented 7 years ago

Hi all,

I recently installed tinyos 2.1.2 on ubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) from (deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu/ lucid main). But when I try to program the Blink application on a telosb , it gives me an error as shown below. Any idea what might be the issue? (The mote-hardware is ok as it works fine with an earlier installation in a different PC). Thanks in advance for your valuable time.

I don't know about the programming. I don't work on any of the old TI based motes. I'm currently using a modern ARM based mote from TI, the msp432p401r.

But the toolchain you are using from Stanford is outdated. Follow the instructions from

http://tinyprod.net/repos/debian/

The msp430-gcc version there is 4.6.3

I don't know if that will fix your programming problem.

I have this error too, so do you fix it?

vlahan commented 6 years ago

@JunhuaiYang The error has nothing to do with the toolchain, but with a change in the pyserial API. Make sure that you are using the latest version of tinyos from github, in particular you should have the commit https://github.com/tinyos/tinyos-main/commit/7d54a311ecd7db685fc1aaeaa9473e50c08a1bfb included.

@vlahan Thank you very much. I have solved this problem. It is pySerial version problem. I use pip install "pySerial>=2.0,<=2.9999" . It works.

cire831 commented 6 years ago

can you document this and submit a commit please.

@cire831 there is nothing to fix in the tinyos code. The fix is included in https://github.com/tinyos/tinyos-main/commit/7d54a311ecd7db685fc1aaeaa9473e50c08a1bfb. The fact that it works for @JunhuaiYang when he forces install of a 2.x pyserial version, indicates to me again that he is not using the latest tinyos pull but some old packaged version that does not include https://github.com/tinyos/tinyos-main/commit/7d54a311ecd7db685fc1aaeaa9473e50c08a1bfb
