How Contiki Works

Time needed: 5 minutes

Follow from Step 1 to Step 11 in order to create Contiki projects. Quick guide to create Contiki projects. Reach us , if you want an customize Contiki projects works for scholars.

  1. System requirements

    For install the cooja , we need the following minimum system requirements.
    1)OS : ubuntu-14.04 LTS(32 bit)
    2)RAM :minimum 2GB
    3)Processor: 2.5 GHz and above
    4) contiki-3.0System requirements

  2. Download contiki

    Download the instant contiki-3.0 or any other need versions of the contiki package from the following url
    https://osdn.net/projects/sfnet_contiki/downloads/Instant%20Contiki/Instant%20Contiki%203.0/InstantContiki3.0.zip/Download contiki

  3. Unzip the package and rename into contiki

    Download the zip package and unzip the package and rename into contikiUnzip the package and rename into contiki

  4. Supporting tools

    Cooja → this Simulator is one of the network simulator specifically designed for perform the simulation in the Wireless Sensor Networks and also in the IoT Evironment.
    MSPSim → is a Java-based instruction level emulator. It perform the process of the MSP430 series microprocessor and also perform the process of emulation of some sensor networking platforms.
    Sensniff → This tool used for perform the process of live traffic capture and analysis for IEEE 802.15.4 networks. sensniff has two components for perform the process like, Peripheral and Host.
    Zolertia → This provides 6LoWPAN hardware solutions for Internet of Things applications. And also in Different platforms we can easy perform the integration of long range communication technology between low powered devices, and also we can create a IoT applications in the shortest time.Supporting tools

  5. Open the terminal and verify the installed package

    Initially,Next open the terminal by press ctrl+alt+T buttons or search from the installed software list.Open the terminal and verify the installed package

  6. Change the location

    Change the contiki installation location in the terminal, using the command cd contiki/tools/coojaChange the location

  7. Execute the command

    For get the simulation , execute the command ant run , in the terminalExecute the command

  8. Simulation window

    Simulation window for make a create a project or open the projectSimulation window

  9. Create a new network simulation

    To create a new network simulation , goto file menu and select the new simulation option and also add the new moteCreate a new network simulation

  10. New simulation option and add the new mote

    Goto file menu and select the new simulation option and also add the new moteNew simulation option and add the new mote

  11. Open simulation

    To open the already created simulatin , goto file menu and select the open simulation and browse the main configuration file stored locationOpen simulation
