TI IOT

The idea is to build a network of sensortags communicating over IPv6 (6LoWPAN).

TI Sensortags (CC2650SDK) will be used a nodes TI CC2538 will be configured as a 802.15.4 sniffer

Creating a 802.15.4 sniffer

you need firmware that could act as a sniffer run on that mote (cc2538): the firmware, you could find on example on contiki folder ($CONTIKI_HOME/examples/cc2538dk/sniffer)
need software what forward the packet from sniffer to wireshark (available here)
setup wireshark to read those packet

To build a firmware, one need to install the proper toolchain first. Instructions are available here

The goal is to create a new firmware and flash it to the cc2538DK

To create the new firmware, let's use a Contiki example (examples/cc2538dk/cc2538-demo.c)

On LinuxMint 17.3, I had to do the following:

Install gcc-arm-none-eabi and libnewlib-arm-none-eabi (this allows to compile the contiki code)
if system complains about "Could not find the cc2538-bsl script",

To get uniflash running on a 64bits Unix machine, i had to install the following 32 bits packages:

Plus, uniflash has to be installed as root, otherwise, we can a connection error

Finally, it is possible to flash using uniflash tool, selecting a binary (.elf) file, specify an address of 0x00200000
