Building Instructions

USB Stick

From avr/GCC/rum directory: make TYPE=COORD PLATFORM=RAVENUSB IPV6LOWPAN=1 DEBUG=1 APP=0 SICSLOWPAN_CONF_FRAG=1

rum_ravenusb.hex

Raven Mega1284

From avr/GCC/rum directory: make TYPE=ROUTER PLATFORM=RAVEN IPV6LOWPAN=1 DEBUG=1 APP=HTTPC SERIAL=1 IPV6_STACK=STACK_UIP DYNAMIC_SERIAL=1 UIP_CONF_TCP=1 SICSLOWPAN_CONF_FRAG=1

Result: rum_raven_m1284.hex

Also the 3290 can be programmed: rum_raven_m3290.hex

Java Applet

RavenUSB_Java.zip

Instructions

  1. Plug in RavenUSB
  2. Wait for Windows to detect it, if prompted use this INF file: CompositeAtmelRNDIS.inf
  3. Run AtUsbHidGui.jar file from Java applet .ZIP
  4. Press “Connect” Button
  5. Wait a 5-10 seconds - you should see fields start to populate in the Java applet. Such as operating channel, mode, etc.
  6. Press “Enable Comm” to connect to debug port
  7. Type ‘i’ into the lower window of the debug port, see some dumped information
  8. Wait for IPv6 address assignment. This is done when both 6LoWPAN Addr & Ethernet Addr show some useful value (ie: NOT fe80)
  9. Power up Raven end node, should see “Associated node 1 Hops = 1”
  10. Press ’t’ into the lower window of the debug port. You should see a table, including the IPv6 address of end nodes. Highlight the global address of the end node, and press Ctrl-C to copy address to the clip board
  11. Go to a command line, then ping6 the address. You can just type ‘ping6’ then a space, then right-click and hit ‘Paste’. This ensures you don’t introduce typos into the address!
  12. Try telneting to the node too, with for example “telnet 2001:470:f13c:100:f99f:ff:fe00:1”. Press ‘i’ and hit enter for info etc. Press Ctrl-C to quit telnet, you might have to hit enter after the Ctrl-C.

Notes:

  1. The global address it the one not starting with fe80
  2. The first ping will always fail.
  3. You can also ping6 the two addresses of the USB stick.
