Hi to everybody,

I'm a new user of this community and in programming, so sorry if I'm make
some mistake and please try to be as clear as possible, for me everything
is new.
I have problem to complete the first example to start contiki with zolertia
z1.
In particular I have problem with make login.
This is the output I receive (I'm working with Windows and
IstantContiki3.0).

../../tools/sky/serialdump-linux -b115200 /dev/ttyUSB0
connecting to /dev/ttyUSB0 (115200)
open: Invalid argument
make: *** [login] Error 255

I tried a lot of solutions alredy proposed, but I still have this problem.
I tried with : apt-get install libc6:i386 and apt-get install ia32-libs but
this is the output I receive Unable to locate package ia32-libs.

Can someone help me?

Hi Domenico,
I had the same problem, the reason was that I was running on a 64-bit
machine a version of the serialdump compiled for 32-bit system. As you
are using instantContiki, I don't know why you are getting this error.
What you can try is the following:

First try installing the correct library (ia32-libs is not yet available):
$ sudo apt-get install lib32ncurses5 lib32z1

Reboot and try if this solves the problem, if not you may follow the
long route:

1. Download the serialdump-linux file from this link:
https://github.com/cmorty/contiki/blob/pull/serialdump/tools/sky/serialdump-linux
2. Rename the current serialdump-linux file (for example
serialdump-linux.old) in the /contiki/tools/sky directory
3. Copy the new serialdump-linux file in the directory contiki/tools/sky
4. Change the permissions of the new serialdump-linux file:
$ chmod 775 serialdump-linux
5. Reboot

The long route worked for me.

Best Regards,
Dario

Just to check, did you update the package list?

$ sudo apt-get clean
$ sudo apt-get update

Then try to install the libraries mentioned before. If you already did
that, maybe you have the multi-arch support disabled, then try the
following:

$ sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
$ sudo apt-get clean
$ sudo apt-get update
$ sudo apt-get install lib32z1 lib32ncurses5

Did it again all the commands you wrote. I still receive the same answer:

Do you have another idea?

Well, those libraries are for 64-bit environments so maybe the problem
is that you are using that from instantContiki (which is 32-bit, tell me
if I'm wrong). I have no more ideas, as I solved as I showed you.

A very last possibility is to download again instantContiki to check if
your version is corrupted, or wait for someone else to reply.

thankyou very much for your time

You must fix a bug in the program. Go to its directory. Use the SED
program to repair the source code. Then, rebuild the program. Type
these commands:

cd ~/contiki/tools/sky
sed -ie 's/$ifdef O_$SYNC/\1DIRECT/p' serialdump.c
make

Go back to the hello-world example. Do "make login".

Thank you very much Greg and to everyone for your help, now it works.

Post by Greg King

The second error is only a misspelled file-name.
The first error was caused by my misunderstanding of what the "p" in
that sed command does (it put a second "#ifdef O_DIRECT" into the file).
You can fix it by starting from the beginning. Get a fresh copy of
the file from the Git repository. Then, fix it, as I showed you before
cd ~/contiki/tools/sky
git checkout serialdump.c
sed -ie 's/$ifdef O_$SYNC/\1DIRECT/' serialdump.c
make
(Note that you do not need to use "sudo" in any of those commands.)
