Mansos installation
Installing MansOS by hand
First, get MansOS from the SVN repository. This will include the source files and the scripts and some tools. Check out the svn directory as below. You may use some other local path.
cd ~/svn/ svn co http://mansos.net/svn/mansos/ mansos
Then, install msp430-gcc. If you happen to have TinyOS, Contiki or some other software that have msp430-gcc installed, you may skip this step and use their version of msp430-gcc.
- One option is installing it by hand
- Alternative is to use the newer, MSPGCC4.
- Or download the mspgcc4.4.2 linux pack from sourceforge (not the latest). You may also need to install p7zip to open the 7z package.
- I prefer to make links to the current versions for easier upgrades later:
cd /opt sudo ln -s msp430-gcc-4.4.2 msp430-gcc
Then, set up your .bashrc as follows (you may set this up in a separate script). This will find the mspgcc tools and the mansos root directory.
export PATH="/opt/msp430-gcc/bin:$PATH" export MOSROOT="/opt/mansos"
For the MOSROOT path to work you may want to add a link to your actual downloaded sources of mansos, e.g.
cd /opt/ sudo ln -s ~/svn/mansos/ mansos
Now, test it.
- Go to /opt/mansos/apps/Blink and try compiling and uploading it to a telosb mote. Also try compiling for PC.
cd /opt/mansos/apps/demo/Blink make telosb make telosb upload make pc make pc run
