Hi, The command "dmesg" will show you messages from the kernel (think of it as operating system status and debugging information). After you connect the USB-to-serial adapter to the computer, dmesg should show you something like the following:
usb 1-6.2.2: new full speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 17 usb 1-6.2.2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice drivers/usb/serial/usb-serial.c: USB Serial support registered for pl2303 pl2303 1-6.2.2:1.0: pl2303 converter detected usb 1-6.2.2: pl2303 converter now attached to ttyUSB1 usbcore: registered new interface driver pl2303 drivers/usb/serial/pl2303.c: Prolific PL2303 USB to serial adaptor driver You can see that in my case the USB-to-serial device is now attached to /dev/ttyUSB1. You might have a slightly different output. If you don't see a message about attaching a device to ttyUSB something, you'd be missing the correct driver. USB-to-serial converters are very common and well supported on linux. Plus Fedora likely has all the drivers installed by default. Once you know the port name, the lesson 4 from the tutorials should help you further: http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-2.x/doc/html/tutorial/lesson4.html Cheers, Urs DAE HEE KIM schrieb: > I am using TinyOS 2.0.1 > > Thanks. > > 2007/7/17, DAE HEE KIM <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: >> >> Hello. >> >> I have been trying to connect from mynotebook computer to motes(micaz). >> However, I cannot succeed that works. >> I already read FAQ in TinyOS website about error messages for connecting >> mote.
