It is possible to run an entire Contiki system as a program under
|
|
|
|
|
Microsoft Windows.

The Microsoft Windows port of Contiki doesn't use the the Contiki build system.
|
|
|
|
|
Instead it is built with the Microsoft Visual C++. If you already have Microsoft
|
|
|
|
|
Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition (or better) installed you're ready to go.
|

|
|
|
Otherwise you can download and install the free Visual C++ 2005 Express Edition.
|
|
|
|
|
I'd recommend to download the full package and then do a local install. That so
|
|
|
|
|
called Manual Installation is described on this page:
|
|
|
|
|
http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/express/support/install/
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then follow the instructions on this page carefully (Note - You only need to
|
|
|
|
|
install the Microsoft Windows Core SDK from the Microsoft Platform SDK):

|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
Finally you might want to integrate the Platform SDK help content into the IDE
|
|
|
|
|
help system (although this isn't necessary for Contiki development) by choosing
|
|
|
|
|
this topic in the IDE help system and following the instructions given:
|
|
|
|
|
ms-help://MS.VSExpressCC.v80/dv_vsexpcc/local/CollectionManagerExpress.htm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For network I/O you need the WinPcap library which is available on this page:
|
|
|
|
|
http://www.winpcap.org/install/default.htm
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'd recommend to install the Wireshark network protocol analyzer which uses (and
|
|
|
|
|
therefore comes with) the WinPcap libary from this page instead of installing
|
|
|
|
|
just the WinPcap library from the page above:
|
|
|
|
|

Doubleclicking contiki-2.x\\platform\\win32\\contiki.sln should bring up the IDE
|
|
|
|
|
and load the Contiki Solution. This takes some time if done for the first time
|
|
|
|
|
as the source is scanned and quite some metadata gets generated.
|
2006-10-02 20:08:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2006-10-14 23:48:51 +00:00
|
|
|
Now press F7 for Build Solution and then F5 for Start Debugging. This should
|
|
|
|
|
bring up Contiki inside a new command prompt window. Starting Contiki in the
|
|
|
|
|
debugger has the benefit of having the debug output routed to the IDE output
|
|
|
|
|
pane.

|
|
|
Depending on your settings for command prompt windows the mouse should work
|
|
|
|
|
right away with Contiki.

|
|
|
Contiki resizes its desktop on resizing the command prompt window Contiki is
|
|
|
|
|
running in.
|
2006-10-02 20:08:40 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2006-10-14 23:48:51 +00:00
|
|
|
Beside the Contiki Quit menu entry you can safely use Ctrl-C for a clean exit.
|
|
|
|
|
You'll notice that when running Contiki from an already open command prompt
|
|
|
|
|
window (that therefore doesn't close on Contiki exit): The caption, colors,
|
|
|
|
|
cursor, ... are restored.
