I have already installed and deployed TinyOS 2.1.1 on Ubuntu 11.10 x64 based on my previous article, check it on http://blog.aguskurniawan.net/post/Deploying-TinyOS-on-Ubuntu-1010.aspx .

You may got problem when you install on Ubuntu 11.10 x64 due to TinyOS repositories. You could update your TinyOS repositories as below

deb http://hinrg.cs.jhu.edu/tinyos karmic main

Deploying TinyOS on Ubuntu 10.10

TinyOS is an open source, BSD-licensed operating system designed for low-power wireless devices, such as those used in sensor networks, ubiquitious computing, personal area networks, smart buildings, and smart meters.

Now I’m going to share how to deploy TinyOS 2.1.1 @ Ubuntu 10.10 using repository.

Ubuntu Packages

Before installing, you should add TinyOS repository on repository source file. Run this script

$ sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list

Then you’re going to get a dialog as below

Put this two lines of script

#tinyOS

deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu edgy main

deb http://tinyos.stanford.edu/tinyos/dists/ubuntu feisty main

Save and close gedit application

TinyOS Installation

Now we’re going to install TinyOS on Ubuntu. Firstly, we update repository

$ sudo apt-get update

Run the following to install TinyOS 2.1.1

$ sudo apt-get install tinyos-2.1.1

Another option, you can check the latest of TinyOS using this script

$ sudo apt-get install tinyos

Then you’ll get the list of TinyOS version as below

After installation, we should update profile

$ gedit ~/.bashrc

Write this script in ~/.bashrc on the bottom of line script file

export TOSROOT=/opt/tinyos-2.1.1
export TOSDIR=$TOSROOT/tos
export CLASSPATH=$TOSROOT/support/sdk/java/tinyos.jar:.:$CLASSPATH
export MAKERULES=$TOSROOT/support/make/Makerules
export PATH=/opt/msp430/bin:$PATH
#Sourcing the tinyos environment variable setup script
source /opt/tinyos-2.1.1/tinyos.sh

Installation Verification

After installation, we check that installation was success or not. Run this script on terminal console

$ tos-check-env

What’s Next?

Now, you can write a program for TinyOS using nesC. Next section, I’ll write how to configure development environment and to get started nesC programming.
