The XFLASH program is used to program the FLASH memory of the iMote2 through a JTAG programmer. The following steps will install the XFLASH program from the Intel C++ SDT for Xscale. The steps are required to reinstall XFLASH after the evaluation license for the SDT is expired.

1. Copy the files to C:\Program Files\Intel\SDT2.0.1\

2. Add to your path:

C:\Program Files\Intel\SDT2.0.1\xflash
C:\Program Files\Intel\SDT2.0.1\xdbbin

3. Copy or ensure that the exact same file C:\Program Files\Intel\SDT2.0.1\xdb\tci\intelxsc\jtag\parbstone.sys is located also
in c:\winnt\system32\drivers or C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers.

4. Run C:\Program Files\Intel\SDT2.0.1\xdb\tci\intelxsc\jtag\parbinst.exe from a command prompt.

The development cycle for the iMote2 platform begins with programming the bare hardware. The main components on the platform are three highly-integrated chips for the processor, radio and power management.

Processor - PXA271 from Intel

Radio - CC2420 from Texas Instruments

Power Management - DA9030 from Dialog

Here is a library of the basic hardware drivers for the iMote2. In the folder is a Makefile that controls the compilation of the hardware drivers and your custom code. The program begins in the main.c file and an example of custom code is included in the test.c file.

The attached document describes the power modes for the iMote2 and the measured energy consumption for the CPU and peripherals, including the camera and radio, for each power-mode. The software configuration of the power-modes is explained. This document is a work in progress, please check back as more information will be added.

This page contains links to documentation and software for using the Intel Mote2 with the SOS operating system. This page is work in progress and continuously updated. Please re-visit frequently for additional information and updates.

ENALAB Users iMote2 Quick Start Guide

(assuming that you are already familiar with using SOS)

As part of our research in camera-enabled sensor networks and Sensory Grammars we are porting the SOS operating system to Intel's iMote2 platform. This page provides our experiences and some initial instructions for getting started with iMote2 and SOS. Some information on how to get started with ENALAB's camera sensor module for iMote2 (shown in the Figure below) are also provided.
