Example Application: Blink

  1. Node Configuration
  2. Code Generation
  3. Updating Makefile
  4. Build
  5. Run

 

  1. Node Configuration

#include "gen/cBlink_TinyOSModule.h"
#include "gen/cBlink_Main.h"

   cBlink_Main *m = new cBlink_Main(this,main,"Main",getIndex());
   m->StdControl_init();
   m->StdControl_start();
 
  1. Code Generation

NesCT is going to build all the classes in gen directory. Replace "cp" with "copy" and slash (/) with backslash (\) for windows operating system at the following instructions.

[root@sinan tictoc]# cd components/
[root@sinan components]# cp Blink.nc ../Application.nc
[root@sinan components]# cd ..
[root@sinan tictoc]# ./nesct.exe Application.nc
 

  1. Updating Makefile

    Type makemake.bat/makemake.sh to create new Makefile for Win32/Linux.
  1. Build

Type "make" to build the binary.

[root@sinan tictoc]# make
g++ -c -g -fpermissive -fPIC -DWITH_NETBUILDER -w -DTOSNODES=1000 -DLINUX -DPLATFORM_OMNETPP -I./include -I/root/projects/tinyos-1.x/tos/interfaces -I./include_tos -I/opt/omnetpp-3.2/include simstart.cc
g++ tictoc1_n.o debug.o simstart.o tinyos.o tinyosmain.o tossim.o txc1.o -g -L/opt/omnetpp-3.2/lib -lenvir -lcmdenv -lsim_std -lnedxml -lxml2 -ldl -lstdc++ -lpthread -o tictoc
echo>.tstamp

  1. Run

Let's enable all debug options for demonstration purposes. Use "export" keyword for linux and "set" keyword for windows to change environment variable. You should see an output similar to this in TK window.
