Hello World for Contiki on IRIS-XM2110 Mote

For this model, we need a contiki version that supports it. In github, exists a project for contiki-iris that supports this target.

git clone https://github.com/bulajicm/contiki-iris-examples.git
cd contiki-iris-examples/examples/hello-world
make targets (if you see iris, we are ok)
make TARGET=iris savetarget
make hello-world

make: avr-gcc: Command not found

You need to install avr-gcc:
sudo apt-get install gcc-avr

Other common error is:

avr/io.h: No such file or directory

You can use apt-file search avr/io.h to search which library you need to install.
sudo apt-get install avr-libc

Now, we have a .iris file. You need flash your mote with this file. Every where saids that with make hello-world.upload it works, but it doesn't, because Makefile doesn't include an upload option.

We can do the same with avrdude. You only need follow this commands:

sudo apt-get install avrdude
avr-objcopy --output-target=srec hello-world.iris main.srec
cp main.srec main.srec.out
sudo avrdude -cmib510 -P /dev/ttyUSB0 -U hfuse:w:0xd9:m -pm1281 -U efuse:w:0xff:m -C /etc/avrdude.conf -U flash:w:main.srec.out:a

Now, the flash it's ok. For view the iris console, type sudo make login and restart the mote pushing the reset button.


Maybe you would see this error at compile time:

avrdude: Device signature = 0x000000
avrdude: Yikes!  Invalid device signature.
         Double check connections and try again, or use -F to override
         this check.

Above happens because exist a poor contact between IRIS 51-pin expansion connector and MIB520CA Mote Interface Board.

  1. Hola NIcolƔs, tengo el siguiente problema.... CUando ingreso el comando sudo make login, me arroja el siguiente error:

    1. Check wich interface has your mote with dmesg command. Maybe other interface is associated to it.
