OpenMotes fail to program

[Kasun Hewage]

Hi,

I am getting following errors when I am trying to use OpenMotes. Any
idea why they are failing to program. Note that I am using a firmware
compiled for Zolertia Firefly nodes.

Thanks

I'm a little late, sorry about that. I've decided to respond anyway, it might be useful for others.

The flocklab_starttest.py expects a 512k binary. Could your executable by any chance be compiled for smaller or larger flash size?

For details see: https://github.com/drandreas/cc2538-bsl/blob/master/cc2538-bsl.py#L618

Thanks a lot. Due to the way that the coffee file system is configured
in Contiki, ".text" section of the vector table starts from 0x00202000.
This results in incorrect size. I managed fixed the issue by setting the
size of coffee file system to zero.

Best regards,
