Tinyos 2.x was successfully ported to cc2430

Process: Establish the Cygwin platform under Windows, and build the Tinyos compilation environment, then compile the Tinyos-based application into a hex file, and download it to the CC2430 chip through the emulator to run.

Raw materials: hardware (wxl  cc2430 node, emulator, etc.), software (Cygwin, Keil, TinyOS  2.x, compilation environment configuration software package, SmartRF04  Flash  Programmer, etc.).

    Now more and more people are doing WSN research in China. In terms of hardware, we don't have as many hardware development platforms as those in foreign countries. Moreover, the price of crossbow's professional development platform is very expensive. However, as more and more companies begin to pay attention to WSN and zigbee, it is still possible for us to build our own wireless sensor development system within a thousand yuan.

CC2430 is the ideal hardware platform now. In China, most people still use IAR combined with z-stack protocol stack (or its variant xx Dragon version) for development. z-stack protocol stack development is relatively simple and suitable for novices. But if you are doing academic research and need to study networking and related algorithm development in depth, then UC Berkely's TinyOS is the best choice. (I believe that smart people will not wade into the muddy water of z-stack's OSAL...)

Many people have successfully ported TinyOS to CC2430. However, there seems to be no article with detailed operation steps on the Internet. So let me give you some popular science :)

—-

introduce:

First, we need to port TinyOS 2.x to CC2430. If you are good at English, please go to http://tinyos8051wg.sourceforge.net/ to view the relevant information.

TinyOS2.x for 8051 currently supports three compilers - Keil, IAR, sdcc. The compiler we use is Keil - everyone is familiar with it. TinyOS 2.x must work under the Linux platform, and Keil is a software under Windows, so we must first install a software that simulates Linux under Windows - Cygwin.

Before transplantation, we need to prepare the following:

Hardware: CC2430 node, emulator

Software: Cygwin, Keil, TinyOS 2.x, some related environment setting packages, SmartRF04 Flash Programmer

The hardware is the CC2430 development hardware that can be used normally under IAR (whether it is Wireless Dragon, Huafan, or Weigu)

I need to say something about the software:

TinyOS 2.x: Please go to http://tinyos8051wg.sourceforge.net/download  to download the latest version (this article is based on the TinyOS8051wg-0.1pre4.tgz  26 Oct 2008)

Keil: Please install it, remember to install the version without 2K limit.

1. Install Keil (Keil  uVersion3)

  (1) Please note that you need to download a version without 2K limit. Here is a link:

http://www.picavr.com/upload/2009_07/Keil C51 V8.09 Chinese cracked version.rar

(2) Directly click on the installation under "Keil  C51  V8.09 Chinese cracked version Keil  C51  V8.09 Chinese cracked version Keil  C51  V8.09 Chinese 1 installation". After completion, the main thing to do is to register. For registration, just refer to the registration instructions in the registration folder.

(3) Note that after completion, there should be the following files in the C:KeilC51BIN directory: C51.exe,  BL51.EXE,  OH51.EXE,  LX51.exe,  Ohx51.exe, etc. These files will be used when compiling the Tinyos project later. If not, an error will almost certainly occur at the end.

2. Install Java  1.5  JDK

I started using 1.6, but it didn't work. I don't know if this is the reason. It's best to use version 1.5.

Download address of jdk1.5.0:
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/download.jsp

After the installation is complete, in the command line: java  –verson  , "java  version  "1.5.0" appears, indicating that it is version 1.5.

3. Install Cygwin

 (1) Download Cygwin. I downloaded it from: http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Installing_TinyOS_2.0.2#Manual_installation_on_your_host_OS_with_RPMs  . In Setp  2:  Install  Cygwin, there is a cygwin-files.zip in the first step. Click it to download it.

This address seems to be available for download: http://cone.informatik.uni-freiburg.de/people/aslam/cygwin-files.zip

(2) When installing, first unzip the downloaded cygwin and click setup.exe. It will be installed in the C drive by default. Basically, you don’t need to change the options, all of which are default options: "install  from  Local  Directory"->Root  Directory:  c:cygwin,  Install  for:  All  Users,  Default  Text  file  type:  Unix/Binary->When asked "Select  local  Package  directory", select the cygwin directory you unzipped, such as: "D:/cygwin-files", and wait for a while to complete the installation.

(3) Start the Cygwin shortcut icon on the desktop. The first time Cygwin is run, it will set up some things and create a home directory, in which a user is created with the username of the windows system.

 Note: At this point, create an opt directory in the cygwin root directory, which will be used later. (If you have this directory after installing cygwin, it will be different. Anyway, I didn't have this directory after installation. The following operations will automatically place some files in this directory)

4. Download the installation packages of the compilation tools required for Tinyos development (4 in total)

NesC compilation tool: nesc-1.3.0-1.cygwin.i386.rpm

TinyOS related tools:

tinyos-deputy-1.1-1.cygwin.i386.rpm

tinyos-tools-1.3.0-1.cygwin.i386.rpm

tinyos-2.1.0-2.cygwin.noarch.rpm

These things can be found here (haha): http://www.tinyos.net/dist-2.1.0/tinyos/windows/

5. Install the above rpm package

(1) In the /home directory is your home directory, mine is Administrator. Copy the four rpm packages to homejohn (i.e. C:cygwinhomeAdministrator), enter the directory: cd  /home/Administrator, and you can see the four files by running ls.

(2) Install the rpm package

rpm  -ivh  nesc-1.3.0-1.cygwin.i386.rpm
rpm  -ivh  tinyos-tools-1.3.0-1.cygwin.i386.rpm
rpm  -ivh  tinyos-deputy-1.1-1.cygwin.i386.rpm
rpm  -ivh  tinyos-2.1.0-2.cygwin.noarch.rpm

Just press Enter each time you enter something.

6. Install Tinyos  2.x

(1) Put the downloaded Tinyos file "TinyOS8051wg-0.1pre4.tgz" into the /opt directory.

(Download address: http://tinyos8051wg.sourceforge.net/download )

Pay attention to check that there should be a directory called "tinyos-2.x" in this directory at this time. If there is no problem with the previous work, the subsequent operations will almost certainly go wrong.

PS: Some compilation rule files are placed in this folder, such as: opt inyos-2.xsupportmakeMakerules file.

(2) Unzip the "TinyOS8051wg-0.1pre4.tgz" file

tar  –xvzf  TinyOS8051wg-0.1pre4.tgz  , some articles say you can use winrar, but I always get an error when I do this, so it’s better to use the tar command above. Finally, a directory “tinyos-2.x-contrib” is generated under /opt

(3) Set up the compilation environment

cd  tinyos-2.x-contrib

ls   (a diku folder appears)

source  diku/env

Note: There is an env configuration file under the diku folder. We load it through the source command so that the compiler will know what configuration we want to use to compile later.

Note: Every time you restart cygwin, if you want to compile, you need to run this command (source  /opt/tinyos-2.x-contrib/diku/env)

(4) Compile the project file (taking BlinkNoTimerTask as an example)

cd  /diku/common/apps/BlinkNoTimerTask

make  cc2430em

The following errors may occur:

cd  build/cc2430em  &&  ./startup.bat

/bin/sh:  ./startup.bat:  Permission  denied

It means that the permissions are insufficient, and I don't know how to log in as a super user in cygwin (the Internet says to use the login command, but I tried it and it didn't work). My solution is: enter the cc2430em directory,  chmod  777  startup.bat, and then recompile. Anyway, it works, haha.

My final result screenshot is as follows:

Finally, the app.hex file is generated under cc2430em, as shown in the figure:

7. Burning

(1) Download and install the SmartRF04  Flash  Programmer software. I used the Setup_SmartRF04Prog_1.3.0.exe version (I also installed the Setup_Packet_Sniffer_2_2_0_0.exe and Setup_SmartRF_Studio_6_5_1.exe software, which are the chip and emulator drivers. I don’t know if it’s redundant).

(2) Connect the computer USB to the emulator. After the emulator is connected to the chip, you will be prompted to install the driver. After the driver is automatically installed, it can be used.

(3) Open the SmartRF04 Flash  Programmer under chipcon  and set as follows:

Note: Use System-on-Chip  =>  Flash  iage to select the app.hex file you just compiled  => click Read  IEEE, then Write  IEEE  => check Retain  IEEE  address  when  reprogramming  =>  select the second Erase, program  and  verify  in Action => finally click Perform  actions, Erase, program  and  verify  OK appears, indicating success, and a small light on the chip is flashing rapidly.

At this point, it’s done, haha!

Uninstall part

If it's useful, don't uninstall it.

   Specific uninstall steps:

1.  In the Cygwin window, use rpm  -qa to list the installed .rpm packages, and uninstall them according to the listed package names

2.  Use rpm  -e  package name or rpm  -e  --nodeps  package name to uninstall the .rpm  file. Note: The package name here cannot include words such as .rpm or .i386.cygwin.

3.  Uninstall Cygwin, delete the shortcut and Cygwin in the start menu. (Delete Cygwin in the C drive directly)
