Another JTAG programmer may be also used but it should be compatible with the Atmel 1281 MCU.
4.2. Programming the Boards
First, WSNDemo image should be loaded onto the board. The location of WSNDemo
image file is listed in Appendix A.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The kit contains two firmware images (WSNDemoApp_EU and WSNDemoApp_US)
programmed to work on channels 0x00 and 0x01, respectively. Channel 0x00 belongs to
the 868 MHz band which is operated in Europe, while the channels 0x01–0x0A belong to
the 902 - 928 MHz band which is used in USA. The appropriate image to load should be
selected based on the user’s location.
WSNDemo image file can be uploaded into the boards in one of two ways: by means of
Serial Bootloader utility (see Section 4.2.1) or in AVR Studio, using JTAG emulator.
JTAGICE mkII from Atmel [17]
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Be careful selecting the method of the node programming. Each of MeshBean2 boards
come with the bootstrap uploaded onto the ZigBit’s MCU, which is needed to run Serial
Bootloader. If JTAG had been used, this would make Serial Bootloader useless until
bootstrap is reloaded to the board.
To be connected with WSN network each node should be identified with a unique MAC
address. If MAC address is not defined by a UID hardware chip, the address of the node
should be programmed manually. Programming a MeshBean2 board with MAC address
can be performed in four ways.
MAC address is utilized for identification of the node within the network. Default value of
MAC address is zero. The module would not join the network unless MAC address is set
to any non-zero value which is not equal to 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.
BitCloud software detects MAC address as follows. At startup, BitCloud Software tries to
load MAC address from EEPROM. If there is 0 or 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF value in
EEPROM, BitCloud attempts to load MAC address from UID chip. If there is no UID, the
node will not be able to join the network

MAC address can be uploaded to a board by means of Serial Bootloader using a
command line flag (see
It can be specified in Configuration file when defining the compilation for an
application (see details in Section
unique MAC address can be uploaded to the board either by JTAG or using Serial
Bootloader.
Otherwise, MAC address can be programmed sending SerialNet AT-commands,
as described in
Value stored in UID is used as MAC address.
