Hi Bernardo, You would see this error message (Probably the AVR MCU is not in the RESET state) in 2 cases: 1. The Mote is not properly plugged into the MIB510 (or even when completely unplugged). 2. The CPU of the Mote itself somehow got mis-configured/damaged.
The question is are you seeing this error on every Mote you have? If so, the possibility # 1 is most likely the case. Try to press the Mote against MIB510 until it seats firmly. If that doesn't help, try another MIB board (in case the contacts of your MIB510 are worn-out). If you are seeing this error on only a couple of Motes, then #2 could be the cause. You might be able to recover them using JTAG pod.

Please someone help me... I am almost giving up programming these motes. I have the following errors when using the commands: make micaz reinstall mib510,/dev/ttyS0 make mica2 reinstall mib510,/dev/ttyS0 What happens is that, for reasons I cannot determine, these error messages appear: Probably the AVR MCU is not in the RESET state. (1) Probably the wiring is incorrect or target might be damaged. (2) I am using MIB510 directly into serial port and I have tried positioning the motes in many ways (as I haven't found a definition of what is a "firmly positioned" mote), with them switched on and off, with all leds on, all leds of, some leds on others off. I have pressed reset button many times... To be honest, I see this going nowhere. The archives didn't help me at all (or some other resources I found elsewhere). The MIB510 uses external power and I have also tried all of this with the small switch on and off. All this not to mention that the Keyspan (USA-19HS) adapter I used other times didn't work. The error messages seem completely random, but I shall try to map the state of mote/board to the error message given if necessary (which I suppose to be, although I would regret having written a big table for nothing). Is it necessary? Please help me. I thank you all in advance.
