README for TOSThreads TestPrintf Author/Contact: tinyos-help@millennium.berkeley.edu Author: Kevin Klues Description: This application tests the operation of the Printf client in TOSThreads. It continuously prints the value of a counter starting at 0, increasing as it prints. You can install TestPrintf on a mote via the following command: make cthreads install Valid platforms are currently: tmote, telosb, iris, mica2, and micaz Once burned on a mote, the java based PrintfClient must be ran to verify proper operation of the application. java net.tinyos.tools.PrintfClient -comm serial@/dev/ttyUSBXXX: NOTE: The baud rate 57600 must be used telos based motes, as its configuration has been changed to work with this baud rate when compiled for tosthreads. I.e. DO NOT just substitute 'telosb' or 'tmote' for above. Explicitly set it to 57600. Once this java application is running, you should see output of the sort continuously being streamed to your terminal: ... ...
