RZRAVEN USB Stick - Jackdaw Contiki platform

This tutorial will walk through detecting the RZRAVEN on a node to compling and loading an example Contiki embedded OS image onto the device. The Contiki operating system boasts to be a minimal foot-print resource-efficient low-power operating system for microcontrollers with limited memory. More information on Contiki can be found on Contiki 2.6

Hardware / Software Utilized

Grid nodes with RZRAVEN USB stick.
Atmel's ICE debugger for loading an image onto the USB stick.
Node image with ubuntu 64-bit version 16.04 or greater, AVR software and Contiki OS. For this example we can use 'ubuntu-16-04-64bit-rzraven.ndz' since this image has all the necessary components installed.

Set up

To get started, please follow the instructions for creating a reservation and loading images on orbit-lab nodes under ORBIT Tutorial -> Basic Tutorials -> testbed operations and use the Inventory/Status page to find nodes with IoT IEEE 802.15.4 devices. For this example we'll use node18-18 imaged with ubuntu-16-04-64bit-rzraven.ndz.

After the node has been imaged and turned on, verify the RZRAVEN USB stick and the ICE debugger has been has been loaded and registered with the kernel. Check the 'dmesg' output for the following:

root@node18-18:~# dmesg | grep ICE
[    2.004469] usb 2-1.2: Product: Atmel-ICE CMSIS-DAP
[    2.984950] hid-generic 0003:03EB:2141.0001: hiddev0,hidraw0: USB HID v1.11 Device [Atmel Corp. Atmel-ICE CMSIS-DAP] on usb-0000:00:1d.0-1.2/input0
root@node18-18:~#
root@node18-18:~#
root@node18-18:~# dmesg | grep acm
[    9.184102] cdc_acm 2-1.1:129.2: ttyACM0: USB ACM device
[    9.184345] usbcore: registered new interface driver cdc_acm
[    9.184345] cdc_acm: USB Abstract Control Model driver for USB modems and ISDN adapters

Also verify that software utilities are all up to date

  root@node18-18:~# apt-get update
  root@node18-18:~# apt-get install make gcc-avr binutils-avr avr-libc avrdude

Next verify if the AVR utilities can see the ICE debugger. Check the file /etc/avrdude.conf under the section 'id="jtag3"' and make sure the value 0x2141 is present in the usbpid list. That section of the file should look like the following:
```
programmer
  id    = "jtag3";
  desc  = "Atmel AVR JTAGICE3 in JTAG mode";
  type  = "jtagice3";
  connection_type = usb;
  usbpid = 0x2110, 0x2140, 0x2141;
;
```

Compile, load and run the Contiki OS example

A version of the Contiki example OS code has already been downloaded and saved on the image. The original source can be found on github. To compile the code change directory to contiki-2.6/examples/ravenusbstick' and do a 'make all'.
root@node18-18:~# cd contiki-2.6/examples/ravenusbstick
root@node18-18:~# make clean
root@node18-18:~# make all

This generates the following output files

-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root  241840 Jan 23 14:14 ravenusbstick.elf
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  119181 Jan 23 14:14 contiki-avr-ravenusb.map
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root  105342 Jan 23 14:14 ravenusbstick.hex

Now we can use the AVR utilities to load the .hex file onto the device via the ICE debugger. First erase the device to start from a clean platform.

Done.

To exit 'screen' session use 'ctrl+a' then 'd' to exit

If the debug interface stops working in 'screen', you can send 'R' to reset the stick and then try again.
