[Avrora] Mica2 Vs. MicaZ

Still no luck :(

>  Sorry for the delay, Rodolfo is correct -- the SOS micaz code sets the

> platform/micaz/cc2420_hal.c and see if it helps at all (rename it to
> cc2420_hal.c and replace the existing version). It simple replaces the
> direct bit manipulation with a version that uses the SPI hardware. Also if
> you add "-verbose=radio.cc2420" to the avroraz command line it will produce
> lots and lots of debugging information which should give you a good idea of

> Hi,I am a little bit confused here:
> When I try this:
> avrora -banner=false -random-seed=100 -colors=true -platform=mica2
> -simulation=sensor-network -update-node-id=true
> -monitors=real-time,leds,packet,energy -seconds=3000
> -sections=.data,.text,.sos_bls -nodecount=3 module_test_app.od
>
> I see packet transmission going on among the nodes.
>
> But, if I just change mica2 to micaz, the motes start, but no
> packet transmission occurs. Shouldn't the same program work for both
> platforms? (unless avrora has some issues)
>
> I am developing for SOS.
