But what exactally is "sits firmly"? I have tried with many motes and
with many of them the LEDs were on... And for different units I got
diffrent LED combinations...

2007/5/14, Giri Baleri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
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.

Giri

Subject: [Tinyos-help] Many problems when programming the motes

Hi!
   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.
              Bernardo
