When using this board with RIOT, set the BOARD variable to z1 in your Makefile. If you follow the standard RIOT project structure, your Makefile should look like this:

# name of your application
APPLICATION = hello-world

# Change this to your board if you want to build for a different board
BOARD ?= z1

# This has to be the absolute path to the RIOT base directory:
RIOTBASE ?= $(CURDIR)/RIOT

include $(RIOTBASE)/Makefile.include

Support for the Zolertia Z1 board.

Todo

The two sensors listed above are not supported yet, this will be done as soon as possible. If someone starts working on this, please open an issue and share the link right here.

Options

The Z1 starter platform — an extended version with some supplementary basic actuators, phidgets and ziglets connectors, SMA-RP connector for a concrete antenna, battery (2xAA) enclosure, and MSP430 JTAG connector — is also available. This RIOT port also supports this version, except that supplementary actuators (multi-color LED, wheel potentiometer, buzzer) are not directly defined. This will be done as soon as possible.

Flashing

RIOT comes with a version of goodfet.bsl, a flashing tool for MSP430 based platforms. Just link or copy it somewhere into your $PATH and you are good to go. e.g.

Bash
$> cp /path/to/RIOT/dist/tools/goodfet/goodfet.bsl /usr/local/bin
