We use the JTAG port to debug as well as load code into the chips. We are currently using the msp430f5438. One of the advantages of the 5438 is it has 8 USCI ports which elimates most cases of needing an arbiter which is a big win. The thing to do is study the telosb schematic and understand the basic blocks and what they are used for. Then you only need to implement blocks that you actually need. In other words what components you need really depends on what you are doing. The simplest program (short of Null) is Blink and it needs the clock for the cpu, timing for Tmilli, and a LED to blink. eric > Thanks in advance. > > _______________________________________________ > Tinyos-help mailing list > [email protected] > https://www.millennium.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tinyos-help > -- Eric B.
