Contiki OS 2.7 Cooja Serial Device with serial2pty

Create a virtual serial device for Cooja motes under /dev/pts/[id]

1. Download
https://github.com/cmorty/cooja-serial2pty
2. Update code with new Cooja class names (if not updated) in Serial2Pty.java

- Change package org.contikios.cooja to se.sics.cooja
import se.sics.cooja.*;
import se.sics.cooja.interfaces.SerialPort;
- Change class Cooja to GUI

A modified code can be found here: https://github.com/sonhan/cooja-serial2pty

3. Build
copy to /contiki/cooja/apps/serial2pty
ant jar
cooja > Settings -> Cooja Extensions... > Select the serial2pty app

4. Test
- Restart Cooja if needed
- Right click on the mote > Mote tools for Test Node > Serial 2 Pty > it shows the serial device (e.g., /dev/pts/10
- Open a Terminal:

#cd contiki
#sudo make login TARGET=sky MOTES=/dev/pts/10 (for a simulated Sky mote)

Contiki OS: RPL Network Setup 2

One mote can be used as a wireless interface (IEEE 802.15.4), host machine as Border Router to  bridge the wireless IPv6 network (e.g., LLN) to outside network, and the Internet.

InstantContiki 2.7 or any machine with Contiki-2.7 and TI MSP430 toolchain (See here)

1. slip-radio (mote 1 as an IEEE 802.15.4 interface)
#cd contiki-2.7/examples/ipv6/slip-radio
#make TARGET=sky
#sudo make TARGET=sky slip-radio.upload

2. UDP servers or any IPv6 service (motes 2..n)
#cd contiki-2.7/examples/ipv6/rpl-udp
#make TARGET=sky
#sudo make TARGET=sky udp-server.upload

3. Host machine (Linux)
 #cd contiki-2.7/examples/ipv6/native-border-router
#make [TARGET=native]
#sudo ./border-router.native -L -v6 aaaa::1/64
*default: -s ttyUSB0 (serial device) -B 115200 (baud rate) -t tun0 (name of interface)

Cooja:  sudo ./border-router.native -a 127.0.0.1 -v6 aaaa::1/64
(enable Serial  Socket Server in the Cooja node used as the wireless interface)

[Contiki 2.7 Release Error] border-router.c:161:28: error: expected ‘)’ before ‘;’ token. 
Just delete the ';'

4. Test
ping6 aaaa::212:7400:13cb:44 (mote 1, wireless interface)
ping6 aaaa::212:7400:13ca:fee4 (mote 2)
ping6 aaaa::212:7400:13cb:34fa (mote 3)

Contiki OS: Handy Commands and Tools (TelosB)

Linux
#make TARGET=sky savetarget (save target)
#make [TARGET=sky] motelist (list of attached motes)
#sudo [TARGET=sky] make login (mote console)
#make [TARGET=sky] MOTES=/dev/ttyUSB1 (target at the motes /dev/ttyUSB1)
#sudo make [MOTES=/dev/ttyUSB1] name_of_program.upload (upload to [ttyUSB1]) 


Windows
cd tools\sky
motelist-windows.exe (list of attached motes)
serialdump-windows.exe -b115200 /dev/com5 (mote console of COM5 mote, baud rate 115200)

TelosB driver:  FTDI

Contiki OS: Run Contiki Collect View tool on Windows, Linux

Collect View is a Contiki tool to collect and visualize data from a mote (including energy consumption)

Requirements
- 01 Host machine (Windows or Linux TI MSP430 toolchain)
- 02 TelosB motes

Motes setup
- Use InstantContiki or Linux with TI MSP430 toolchain (see here)
- Connect 02 motes
- Build and upload udp-sink (sink node) and udp-sender (send node
cd examples/ipv6/rpl-collect
make PERIOD=10 (sending every 10sec) if this doesn't work change in the source file collect-common.c #define PERIOD 10

make TARGET=sky MOTES=/dev/ttyUSB0 udp-sink.upload
make TARGET=sky MOTES=/dev/ttyUSB1 udp-sender.upload

Windows environment setup
- Download Contiki source (contiki-2.7)
- Download ANT and extract to a folder (E:\dev\apache-ant-1.9.3)
- Add System Environment variable ANT_HOME=E:\dev\apache-ant-1.9.3
- Add %ANT_HOME%\bin to your PATH

build.xml fix (for Windows)
- Remove the collect-view-shell.ihex part (it is used to compile collect example and copy to the dist folder)
<target name="collect-view-shell.ihex"
<target name="dist" depends="jar,collect-view-shell.ihex">

Go and rock
- Connect sink node to the host machin
- Run Terminal or cmd (Windows with administrator)

cd contiki-2.7\tools\collect-view
ant (building)
cd dist
java -jar collect-view.jar /dev/com6 (Windows, COM6 is the device port)
sudo java -jar collect-view.jar /dev/ttyUSB0 (Linux, ttyUSB0 is the device port)
