Install on Ubuntu

1. Download and install VMWare Player (or Workstation or Fusion):

   http://www.vmware.com/products/player/

2. Download Ubuntu Desktop 12.10 (64 bit):

   http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop

3. Create new virtual machine and install Ubuntu (ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso).
   Default settings work fine.
   Do not forget to install VMWare Tools for Linux.

4. Add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list configuration file:

    deb http://tinyprod.net/repos/debian squeeze   main
    deb http://tinyprod.net/repos/debian msp430-46 main
   

5. Refresh the package database:

    gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 34EC655A
    gpg -a --export 34EC655A | sudo apt-key add -
    sudo apt-get update
   

6. Install the TinyOS (msp430) packages:

    sudo apt-get install msp430-46 nesc tinyos-tools mspdebug git
   

7. Create folder for tinyos source tree (this can be in your home too, modify the paths accordingly):

    sudo mkdir /opt/tinyos
    sudo chown `id -u`.`id -g` /opt/tinyos/
   

8. Add you GitHub private ssh key:

    mkdir ~/.ssh
    <copy your private SSH key to ~/.ssh/id_rsa>
    chmod -R go-rwx ~/.ssh
   

9. Get the tinyos repository:

    git clone [email protected]:pillforge/tinyos.git /opt/tinyos/
   

10. Create a new file: /etc/profile.d/tinyos.sh with the following contents:

    TOSROOT="/opt/tinyos"
    TOSDIR="${TOSROOT}/tos"
    CLASSPATH="{$TOSROOT}/support/sdk/java/tinyos.jar;."
    MAKERULES="${TOSROOT}/support/make/Makerules"
    export TOSROOT TOSDIR CLASSPATH MAKERULES
    
    LOCATE_JRE=/usr/bin/tos-locate-jre
    type java >/dev/null 2>/dev/null || PATH=`$LOCATE_JRE --java`:$PATH
    type javac >/dev/null 2>/dev/null || PATH=`$LOCATE_JRE --javac`:$PATH
    export PATH
    

11. Log out and log in (for the profile configuration to take effect) and verify if the toolchain is properly set up:

    cd /opt/tinyos/apps/Blink
    make telosb
