Hi all, Around March of this year I posted a problem when trying to program a mote using TinyOS installed over cygwin, and I got error 57 when using uisp. Other folks told me that they had the same problem even in Windows XP or 7, but no one solution came up, so in that days a take the option of installing VMware, but now I dont want to use it anymore, so I searched into avr forums, and it seems that installing a new version of cygwin everything would be all right.
Yesterday I tried again, using Windows 7, so... firstly, I installed tinyos using cygwin and rpms available, from the tinyos website, I got the error 57 problem when trying to test Blink application into a micaZ. Then, without uninstalling anything, I downloaded a new version cygwin and installed it over the other one, after a while installing (as the installation program download every cygwin's package separately) I didn't notice any difference with cygwin and neither with tinyos as all the packages were still installed, and when I tried to program, everything works fine!! So, this e-mail it is only for those who get the error 57 when trying to program a sensor, so they only need to update the cygwin, I think the reason is that some windows update is creating some problem with the tinyos website cygwin version, so yu only need to update it to the latest. I would also propose to the tinyos website administrator to change the cygwin installer reference, or at least put a comment about this, because this problem could be causing some people that want to use TinyOS into Windows to use other o.s. or have a mess trying to install vmware or even installing a Linux.
