try ttySn with a capital S...and as we have interated,
depending on the version of cygwin you are saddled with
it may still use COMn+1

Hi Everyone,
i checked the "device manager" and click the "Universal Serial Bus
controllers" there is a new entry when i connect my USB adapter,
"FTDIFT8U2XX Device". When I clicked on the properties, its location
states "Location 0 (USB <-> Serial)"
However I tried this command again:
MIB510='/dev/ttyusb0' make mica2 install.0 mib510
This is the msg:
Error: No such file or directory
-> /dev/ttyUSB0
make[1]: *** [reinstall.0 ] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/tinyos/cygwin/opt/tinyos-1.x/apps/TOSBas
e'
make: *** [install.0] Error 2
So I checked the "Ports (COM & LPT)" and the USB Serial Port (COM5) is
active. So i entered this command:
MIB510='/dev/ttys5' make mica2 install.0 mib510
This is the error msg:
Error: No such file or directory
-> /dev/ttys5
make[1]: *** [reinstall.0] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/cygdrive/c/tinyos/cygwin/opt/tinyos-
1.x/apps/TOSBas
e'
make: *** [install.0] Error 2
I changed to another USB port and checked the "Device Manager". The USB
Serial Port (COM7) is active to I entered:
MIB510='/dev/ttys7' make mica2 install.0 mib510
This is the error msg:
Error: No such file or directory
-> /dev/ttys7
make[1]: *** [reinstall.0] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory
`/cygdrive/c/tinyos/cygwin/opt/tinyos-1.x/apps/TOSBas
e'
make: *** [install.0] Error 2
May I know where did I go wrong?
Best regards,
U-Wei

The COMx syntax is, unfortunately, only useful with older cygwin
versions that 'came with' TOS pre 1.1.10(or 11?). In some uses
with some newer versions "they" started using the nNIX /dev syntax.
I am purposely vague about the "somes" because I don't remember if
download and message comm are fellow travelers, or if COM still works
for one, and there is no way to squeeze a "version number" from cygwin
(...actually there is: "cygcheck -s" will cough up a dll version, but
everyone seems to deny it's applicability...).
Anyway the bottom line is: try every possible combination of chars...
