The Cooja/MSPsim simulator is now ten times faster than before. Cooja/MSPsim allows Contiki software to be accurately emulated at the cycle level, with detailed emulation of the radio transceiver. With the Timeline view, the radio transceivers of all nodes in the entire network can be simultaneously inspected, providing insights into both the network behavior and network power consumption. The simulation speed is now ten times faster thanks to a recent patch to the part of the Cooja/MSPsim code that integrates the two pieces of software.
To use the updated simulator software, get the latest CVS source code or update your local version. |

The D-NET researchers from INRIA have ported Contiki to their WSN430 platform as part of the SenseTools project. They have written an great introduction to Contiki that is well worth a read by anyone interested in how Contiki works. They have also gone through a number of Contiki examples with excellent walkthroughs. |

As of yesterday, we have two new Contiki targets in the development code: one port for the Crossbow MicaZ, a popular prototyping and research platform in wireless sensor networks, and one port for the Sensinode CC2430-based system-on-a-chip N100/N600/N601/N710/N711 platforms. The MicaZ port was developed by Kasun Hewage from the University of Colombo School of Computing, Sri Lanka, and the Sensinode port by Zach Shelby, head of research at Sensinode. |

During the summer, we have uncovered a small bug in Instant Contiki 2.3 that affects Tmote Sky / Sentilla JCreate users: we forgot to set execute permissions for the program that is used to upload code to the Tmote Sky board. The symptom is that Tmote Sky boards cannot be reprogrammed with Instant Contiki 2.3. To fix this problem, run the the following commands in a terminal window:
chmod +x contiki-2.x/tools/sky/tmote-bsl-linux
chmod +x contiki-2.3/tools/sky/tmote-bsl-linux
