The telosb and its msp430 friends have some special h/w that allows using
the bsl (boot strap loader) to be invoked by wiggling serial pins via the
usb interface.  This puts the mote into programming mode and allows the
downloaded code to be flashed.
If you have your own platform, you either need to figure out how to
implement the same thing.  Hunt through the schematics (you'll have to find
them on line somewhere in docs.tinyos.net or tinyos.net) and figure it out.
 Or you will have to figure out a different mechanism to download your code.
 try looking at the msp430-jtag stuff.
