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.

      hace falta el programa serialdump-linux. Verifica que esté en tools/sky y si no le haces un link simbólico a esa ruta.

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

How to fix Android when developer options are not available for this user

Image
I have an Android One with Oreo version and suddenly my Android rebooted and after that it started to behave strangely: 1) Notification section doesn't work. I can't see notifications from my apps and the arrow and the screw icon to settings access don't work. 2) As I can't access to the notification area, I can't enable Use USB to Transfer Files to access to my phone memory. 3) I can't access to developer mode (I before active it with a lot of taps over Build number). Clicking on developer options just shows developer options are not available to this user. 4) I can't update or install the apps on google play. They freeze on Download pending... message 5) Home and Switch buttons don't work. They light up and vibrate when I tap them but they do nothing. This issue is apparently related to a deconfiguration of user accounts. To fix it, you need re-setup the users. As you can't access to the user manager (you are in guest mode ...
