Instruction to upload the binary to MTM-CM5000MSP

Introduction

This is a guide to upload the binary file (output of the MAKE command) to MTM-CM5000MSP in the Windows environment. The binary file is generated by running the make command (possibly from https://codio.co.uk).

Steps to program

  1. If it is not installed, download and install Python from here.
  2. Install pySerial for the Python distribution using Powershell. To do this, run Powershell and enter the following command in the shell window. Make sure python is in the PATH environment variable. 
    python -m pip install pyserial
  3. Install Git if it is not installed from here. Then, download Contiki-NG repository from Github. You can do it in this way. 
    git clone https://github.com/contiki-ng/contiki-ng.git
cd contiki-ng
  4. Plug in the hardware to one of the USB ports. Check the portname by running following 
    [System.IO.Ports.SerialPort]::GetPortNames()

For example: COM3
  5. Now erase the chip, replace COM3 with the PORT that you got from step 4. If there is more than one, make sure you choose the right one. 
    python .\tools\sky\msp430-bsl-linux --telosb -c COM3 -e
Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
  6. Program the chip 
    python .\tools\sky\msp430-bsl-linux --telosb -c COM3 -I /path/to/binaryfile
Start-Sleep -Seconds 2
  7. Reset the chip 
    python .\tools\sky\msp430-bsl-linux --telosb -c COM3 -r
  8. All done.
