I used LabVIEW and MATLAB to close the ports. No change.
In my umpteenth reinstallation, I now see this behaviour:
<cygwinoutput>
$ MIB510=COM5 make mica2 install
mkdir -p build/mica2
compiling Blink to a mica2 binary
ncc -o build/mica2/main.exe -Os -board=micasb -target=mica2 -Wall
-Wshadow -DDE
F_TOS_AM_GROUP=0x7d -Wnesc-all -finline-limit=100000
-fnesc-cfile=build/mica2/app.c Blink.nc -lm
compiled Blink to build/mica2/main.exe
1644 bytes in ROM
48 bytes in RAM
avr-objcopy --output-target=srec build/mica2/main.exe build/mica2/main.srec
make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/tinyos-1.x/apps/Blink'
installing mica2 binary
uisp -dprog=mib510 -dserial=COM5 -dpart=ATmega128 --wr_fuse_e=ff --erase
--upload if=build/mica2/main.srec
</cygwinoutput>
Cygwin is stuck at this line as I write this email. While the programmer
board LED doesn't glow now, Cygwin has stopped responding to Ctrl+C.
I ran TOScheck and the only error that I got was that the 'dot' was
missing in the PATH variable.
To recant, the procedure was:
1. I installed the installation package with tinyos-1.1.0 - programs
compile, motes programmed, all A-OK!
2. I upgrade cygwin to the version given on the tinyos website
(cygwin-1.2a)
3. I tried programming the motes here - no response from the uisp.
programs compile, and the build folder is populated, but the programming
part hangs.
4. I then upgraded nesc with nesc-1.1.2b-1.cygwin.i386
5. Try programming the motes, no luck. programs compile, programmer hangs.
6. Upgraded TinyOS with tinyos-1.1.10Jan2005cvs-1.cygwin.noarch
7. Try programming the motes, no luck again. Programs compile programmer
hangs. (output shown above). Atleast the bytes in ROM and RAM aren't 0
like in the previous iteration.
Please help, at wit's end.

Sometimes, under WinXP, I have to use something like Hyperterminal to
initially open and close the COM port to which the MIB510 is attached
before
programs under Cygwin can do it. It might just be my laptop, though.

As you can see, the compilation results show this output:
compiled Blink to build/mica2/main.exe
0 bytes in ROM
0 bytes in RAM
Is there anything in particular that can be said about this?
