Just my own uninformed opinion...

It should be a simple serial device attached to a raw tty port,
no special drivers are required. Rather than using COMx you probably
want to use something like /dev/ttySx or whatever the format of your
port names is.

The example you give IS for programming however. For comm using
something like Listen or SerialForwarder you set an env var
something like:  MOTECOM=serial@/dev/ttyS1:mica2
YMMV based on port and platform names of course...

Can someone explain how to use a MIB520 with linux? I am unclear how the device shows up or how to install a driver for it or if it needs one. I just need it for standard communication, not for programming.

I am running Fedora Core 4.

Just leave it as the MIB510; when you install the MIB520 (at least, under
Windows) you end up with 2 virtual comports – one of those is used for
programming, the other for standard rs232 communication. Off the top of my head I can't remember which is used for which, but if one doesn't work, just
try the other; personally I prefer to use my mib510 serial board still =]

So for example: make mica2 install,0 mib510,comx // where x = your com port number

Subject: [Tinyos-help] Re: MicaZ and MIB520

Hi,
can someone guide on compiling and installing "Blink" on MicaZ mote using MIB520?? When I tried to compile the application I received the error code using "make micaz install MIB520, com3" "/opt/tinyos-1.x/tos/../tools/make/avr/mib520.extra:5: *** MIB520 mus be
defined, try "make micaz help". Stop"
I have changed the default program and port number in the MakeXBowLocal file to MIB520 and MIB520=com3... is there anything else I need to change?? I am
using tinyOS-1.10. (jan 2005)
Thanks
