I'm using the sources given in the virtual machine image provided by
Shimmer, and according to the dates, it seems up-to-date.

Actually, I'm not 100% sure the problem comes from BaseStation. When I write
on /dev/ttyUSB3 (the span is ttyUSB2 for programming and ttyUSB3 for data),
the blue led blinks, but I put a *call Leds.led0Toggle()* that is supposed
to toggle the green one (the orange/maroon only blinks while programming) in
the uartReceive event.
Did you ever use C for sending to the mote through BaseStation on span ?
Coz' maybe something is going wrong before the BaseStation and make
everything not work properly ...

Any hints are welcome ...

Thanks for your answer, Mike.
