Contiki Examples
================
The examples/ directory contains a few examples that will help you get
started with Contiki.
To run the example programs, you need either to be running Linux or FreeBSD (or
any other UNIX-type system), or install Cygwin if you are running Microsoft
Windows [http://cygwin.com](http://cygwin.com). As a minimum you will need to
have the gcc C compiler installed. To run the examples in the 'netsim' target,
you need to have GTK 1.x development libraries installed. These are usually
called 'gtk-devel', 'libgtk1-devel' or similar in your Linux software
installation programs.
compile-platforms/
------------------
A test script that compiles Contiki for a number of platforms and reports any
errors found during the build.
email/
------
An email program supporting SMTP. It can be compiled and run in the 'win32'
target by typing the following commands:
cd examples/email
make
./email-client.win32
Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
platform/win32/contiki-main.c to match your needs.
Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP as well.
esb/
----
A set of demo applications for the ESB board.
ftp/
----
An FTP client supporting download. It can be compiled and run in the 'win32'
target by typing the following commands:
cd examples/ftp
make
./ftp-client.win32
Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
platform/win32/contiki-main.c to match your needs.
Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP as well.
hello-world/
------------
A really simple Contiki program that shows how to write Contiki programs. To
compile and test the program, go into the hello-world directory:
cd examples/hello-world
Run the 'make' command.
make
This will compile the hello-world program in the 'native' target. This causes
the entire Contiki operating system and the hello-world application to be
compiled into a single program that can be run by typing the following command:
./hello-world.native
This will print out the following text:
Contiki initiated, now starting process scheduling
Hello, world
The program will then appear to hang, and must be stopped by pressing the C key
while holding down the Control key.
irc/
----
An IRC client. It can be compiled and run in the 'win32' target by
typing the following commands:
cd examples/irc
make
./irc-client.win32
Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
platform/win32/contiki-main.c to match your needs.
Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP as well.
multi-threading/
----------------
A quite simple demonstration of the Contiki multi-threading library
employing two worker threads each running a recursive function. It
can be compiled and run in the 'native' target by typing the
following commands:
cd examples/multi-threading
make
./multi-threading.native
rime/
-----
Contains a set of examples on how to use the Rime communications
stack. To run those examples in the 'netsim' target (a very simple
Contiki network simulator), compile the programs with:
make TARGET=netsim
You will need to have GTK 1.x development libraries installed.
Run the different programs:
./test-abc.netsim
./test-meshroute.netsim
./test-rudolph0.netsim
./test-rudolph1.netsim
./test-treeroute.netsim
./test-trickle.netsim
Most of the examples requires you to click with the middle mouse
button on one of the simulated nodes for something to happen.
sky/
----
Examples inteded for running on the Tmote Sky board. To compile those, you need
to have msp430-gcc (the gcc C compiler for the MSP430 microcontroller)
installed.
The follwing programs are included:
- blink.c A simple program that blinks the on-board LEDs
- sky-collect.c Collects sensor data and energy profile values to a sink.
Press the "user" button on the Tmote Sky that is connected to the PC to make
the node a sink.
- test-button.c Toggles the LEDs when the button is pressed.
- test-cfs.c Tests the 1 mb flash memory of the Tmote Sky
telnet-server/
--------------
A simple TCP telnet server with a simple command shell. It can be
compiled and run in the 'minimal-net' target by typing the following
commands:
cd examples/telnet-server
make
./telnet-server.minimal-net
Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
platform/minimal-net/contiki-main.c to match your needs.
Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP as well if you are running
Microsoft Windows.
webbrowser/
-----------
A text mode web browser supporting links and forms. It can be compiled
and run in the 'win32' target by typing the following commands:
cd examples/webbrowser
make
./webbrowser.win32
Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
platform/win32/contiki-main.c to match your needs.
Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP as well.
webserver/
----------
A web server supporting dynamic content creation using "scripts" which
are actually compiled-in C-functions. It can be compiled and run in the
'minimal-net' target by typing the following commands:
cd examples/webserver
make
./webserver-example.minimal-net
As an alternative to the static and dynamic compiled-in content the web
server can instead support "external" static-only content loaded from
any storage supported by the 'Contiki File System' (CFS) interface. To
compile it in the 'minimal-net' target and have it load files from disk
use the following command:
make HTTPD-CFS=1
Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
platform/minimal-net/contiki-main.c to match your needs.
Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP.markdown as well if you are running
Microsoft Windows.
wget/
-----
A command line program that retrieves files from web servers and saves them
using the 'Contiki File System' (CFS). It can be compiled and run in the
'minimal-net' target by typing the following commands:
cd examples/wget
make
./wget.minimal-net
Most likely you'll have to adjust the TCP/IP values set in main() in
platform/minimal-net/contiki-main.c to match your needs.
Please consult cpu/native/net/README-WPCAP as well if you are running
Microsoft Windows.
