Hello,
I am new to TinyOS. I have installed version 2 of TinyOS by downloading the
various packages given in the TinyOS site. I use cygwin 5.1 When I compile
the sample application 'Blink' for micaz, it compiles without errors, but
when I try 'make micaz sim' for TOSSIM, I get a lot of errors. I searched
this mailing list archive and found that I had to change the version number
from 2.4 to 2.3 of python which is what I have, and still I keep getting
errors. A search in system indicates that I have python.h but don't have the
library file libpython. Do I have to install python 2.4? I got an rpm but it
requires a lot of other libraries. Isn't there any other way?  I uninstalled
it and installed TinyOS 1.1 with the help of msi file available in TinyOS
site - it works fine.

Can anyone help me with the following questions:

  1. Compiling a program for a mote, say micaz, will give an image file.
  What kind of file is that? Is it one that the corresponding microcontroller
  (atmega12) understands - set of instructions specific to the
  microcontroller?
  2. If I have a node similar to micaz, ie containing atmega128 and
  CC2420, could I compile for micaz itself?
  3. Generalizing the above question, if I have a new mote, then will I
  be still able to use TinyOS? What kind of changes will I have to make so
  that I could use TinyOS?

Thank you
Mahesh
