Hi All,

I am working on the Atmega 163L which is the new
processor...and all programs are loaded with the
following command:

make duke install

which is synonymous to "make rene install"

The following problem has occurred with 5 motes
consecutively:

1. When the battery was off, i tried

      make duke install

for the sens_to_rfm application.

2. The output was:

Lab@MOBILE1 /usr/tos/alvy/nest/apps/cnt_to_leds
$ make duke install
make: Nothing to be done for `duke'.
uisp -dprog=dapa -dno-poll  -dpart=atmega163 --erase

flash error at address 0x15: file=0x94, mem=0x00

etc until the end of memory.

I think this is normal. But,

3. When i tried to install the same program with
the battery ON i keep gettting the same error. The
mote was working perfectly until i did (2).

And, i have tried the following to counter this problem:

1. I have replaced battery packs with new batteries

2. I have reset to Littleguy and "make install" was done successfully.

3. I have tried resetting the chip in the BIG_GUY
position by connecting the RESET pin to the VCC
pin.

Please help me since i am totally stranded without
these 5 motes...in my research project !!!!

thanks in anticipation.
