Make Targets

All Platforms / General

Defines

• TARGET: The target plattform (e.g. sky) - see savetarget
• DEFINES: allows to set arbitrary variables for the C preprocessor in form of a comma-separated list. DEFINES=MYTRACE,MYVALUE=4711 - see savedefines
• CONTIKI_SOURCEFILES: Files to add to the Contiki library
• PROJECT_SOURCEFILES: Project files. These will be added to the final binary
• CONTIKIDIRS: Folders to search source files
• APPS: Applications to include
• CFLAGS: The classic make CFLAGS

Targets

• targets: List possible target platforms.
• savetarget: Saves the current TARGET to Makefile.target
• savedefines: Saves the current DEFINES to Makefile.defines
• %.ramprof
• %.flashprof
• serialview
• serialdump
• linslip
• winslip
• sizeplot

Sky

Defines

• MOTE: Index of sky-motes to apply the action. E.g. make f.upload MOTE=1
• MOTES: When also setting MOTELIST this can be used to pass tty-devices on which to apply the action. (This should probably be cleaned up.)

Targets

• %.upload
• motelist: List Motes
• sky-motes: List /dev/tyy* that will be used - See MOTES
• login: Open Console to Mote make login MOTES=/dev/ttyUSB0
• serialview: Like login, but adds a timestamp
• serialdump: Like serialview, but also writes output to a serialdump- file.
• sky-reset: Reset Motes

Other stuff

• Patch Passing the Reference displayed by motelist to MOTEIDS will automatically limit actions to those motes (E.g. only reflash the sink).
• Patch allowing to upload different files in the same directory at the same time. Only makes sense with the previous patch.

Configuration

This is uncompleted list of (pre-)compiler flags. To use them you must add

CFLAGS += -D<pre-processor>

flag to your Makefile e.g.

CFLAGS+=-DROUTE_CONF_ENTRIES=20 -DROUTE_CONF_DEFAULT_LIFETIME=240

Alternatively you can use the DEFINES macro:

DEFINES=ROUTE_CONF_ENTRIES=20,ROUTE_CONF_DEFAULT_LIFETIME=240

Network

Routing (e.g. Mesh)

• ROUTE_CONF_ENTRIES: If you are using bi-directional communication, this should be higher then the number of nodes in your network.
• ROUTE_CONF_DEFAULT_LIFETIME: Should be higher, than the average time between packets normally sent between nodes.
• ROUTE_CONF_DECAY_THRESHOLD:

Hardware

UART

• UART1_CONF_TX_WITH_INTERRUPT: Use Interrupts to transmit data instead of blocking. This may significantly influence performance when using the UART.(Currently applies to msp430/sky and stm32w108.)
• UART1_CONF_RX_WITH_DMA: Use DMA for RX
