Nano USB Programmer
An USB programmer for the Sensinode NanoRouter N600.
Copyright 2007-2008 Sensinode Ltd.
Installation
Linux
The installation is quite simple but requires the user to obtain the FTDI development library. The installation also requires root privileges in some phases (the ldconfig command to be more specific). Running the Nano_USB_Programmer executable might also require root privileges.
- unpack the Nano_USB_Programmer-v[xxx].zip to a directory
- get the FTDI development library from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX/Linux/libftd2xx0.4.13.tar.gz
- unpack the ftdi archive
- copy the library static_lib/libftd2xx.a.[version] into /usr/lib
- copy the library libftd2xx.so.[version] into /usr/lib
- make a symbolic link to the library, for example: ln -s /usr/lib/libftd2xx.so.0.4.13 /usr/lib/libftd2xx.so
- run ldconfig
- copy the header files into the nano_usb_programmer/ftdi_linux/ directory
- go to the programmer directory and run make
Windows/Cygwin
- The FTDI library can be downloaded at:
http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%202.02.04%20WHQL%20Certified.zip
- Copy header files (ftd2xx.h), ftd2xx.lib and ftd2xx.dll to nano_usb_programmer/ftdi_win32
- Copy the ftd2xx.dll to your windows system32 directory
Usage
Usage info for the Nano_USB_Programmer is available with command ./nano_usb_programmer --help. Note that use might require root/administrator privileges depending on system configuration.
Known problems (Linux)
There's one known problem at the moment. The N600 must be unplugged and plugged in again after it has been programmed or the MAC address has been read from it before it can respond to the programmer again. The reason for this is the FTDI library is not perfectly integrated with the Linux serial driver.
