How to install GlomoSim in Linux Mint & Ubuntu & RedHat

In GloMoSim we are building a scalable simulation environment for wireless and wired network systems. It is being designed using the parallel discrete-event simulation capability provided by Parsec. GloMoSim currently supports protocols for a purely wireless network. In the future, we anticipate adding functionality to simulate a wired as well as a hybrid network with both wired and wireless capabilities.

GLomoSIm User Manual is here : http://pcl.cs.ucla.edu/projects/glomosim/GloMoSimManual.html


To install GloMoSim in Ubuntu or Linux Mint

Follow the steps

1) Install Parsec by typing

    sudo apt-get install parsec47

2) Download GloMoSim from http://pcl.cs.ucla.edu/projects/glomosim/obtaining_glomosim.html

3) Change into the glomosim-2.03/glomosim/main

    cd glomosim-2.03/glomosim/main

4) Build by typing:

    ./make

To the set the environment variables edit the .bashrc in your home directory and type for example:

    export PCC_DIRECTORY="/home/mydir"

and save the .bashrc file. Logout and login again then type the following at the command line to make sure the environment variable is set:

    echo $PCC_DIRECTORY

you should see /home/mydir

TO INSTALL ON REDHAT OR OTHER DISTROS

• Uncompress glomosim-2.03.tar.gz file

$tar -xzvf glomosim-2.03.tar.gz

• Set Environment variable

$ gedit ~/.bashrc

Then add following lines

PCC_DIRECTORY=GloMoSim_ROOT/glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2
export PCC_DIRECTORY

• Copy both files pcc and parsecc from glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2/bin/ dir and copy into usr/bin dir

$ sudo cp glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2/bin/pcc glomosim-2.03/parsec/redhat-7.2/bin/parsecc usr/bin

• Goto glomosim-2.03/glomosim/main dir and run make.

$ cd glomosim-2.03/glomosim/main
$ make

Implementation of Leach Protocol NS2

This is  only the steps  to install and run the LEACH protocol on version 2.27 of ns2 .The LEACH implementation was written as a stand-alone application. Thus, in the past a version compiled for LEACH may or may not work for other protocols. In addition, the original version of LEACH was compiled for version 2.5b which is an outdated version of ns2.

Setup Procedure

1. Obtain the ns-allinone-2.27.tar.gz package. This can be found at:
http://www.internetworkflow.com/downloads/ns2leach/ns-allinone-2.27.tar.gz
 

2. Unpackage the archive
 

gunzip ns-allinone-2.27.tar.gz 

tar xvf ns-allinone-2.27.tar

3. Change directory to ns-allinone-2.27
 

cd ns-allinone-2.27

4. run the install script
./install

5. Add the appropriate environment variables as specified at the end of installation.

6. Obtain the mit.tar.gz package at http://download.pudn.com/downloads71/sourcecode/hack/sniffer/48216501mit-leach-protocol.rar

7. Place the mit.tar.gz package into the ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27 directory.
 

8. Change directory to ns-allinone-2.27/ns-2.27
 

9. Unpackage the archive which will overwrite all appropriate files and set up symbolic links.
gunzip mit.tar.gz
tar xvf mit.tar
 

10. A sample make file can be found at http://www.internetworkflow.com/downloads/ns2leach/Makefile. Edit the Makefile as follows:

Add DMIT_uAMPS to the DEFINE list
Add I./mit/rca I./mit/uAMPS to the INCLUDE list
Add the following just prior to the line gaf/gaf.o \
mit/rca/energy.o mit/rca/rcagent.o \
mit/rca/rca-ll.o mit/rca/resource.o \
mac/mac-sensor-timers.o mac/mac-sensor.o mit/uAMPS/bsagent.o \
 

11. Clean up previous build
make clean
 

12. Rebuild ns2 this can take a while so I recommend redirecting output, running in background and going to lunch.
 

nohup make 2>error.log >make.log &
 

13. Test default wireless demo and LEACH
 

./test
 

14. Validate the full installation this takes a while too so take a break
 

nohup ./validate-full 2>validate.error >validate.log &

Install MPLAB in Linux Mint & Ubuntu

MPLAB^® X IDE is a software program that runs on a PC (Windows^®, Mac OS^®, Linux^®) to develop applications for Microchip microcontrollers and digital signal controllers. It is called an Integrated Development Environment (IDE), because it provides a single integrated “environment” to develop code for embedded microcontrollers.

MPLAB^® X Integrated Development Environment brings many changes to the PIC^® microcontroller development tool chain. Unlike previous versions of MPLAB^® which were developed completely in-house, MPLAB^® X is based on the open source NetBeans IDE from Oracle. Taking this path has allowed us to add many frequently requested features very quickly and easily while also providing us with a much more extensible architecture to bring you even more new features in the future.

Download MPLAB from microchips website link is here : http://www.microchip.com/pagehandler/en-us/family/mplabx/#downloads


Before installing MPLAB , should install java if java is not installed
to install java check : INSTALL   JAVA

then follow the steps

1. open Linux Terminal
2. change the permisions of the files that downloaded by executing the commands

chmod 755 mplabc18.bin

chmod 755 mplabx-ide-beta60-linux-32-bit-installer.bin

chmod 755 picc-18-pro-linux.run

chmod 755 picc-pro-linux.run

3. enter the following command

sudo ./MPLABX-V1_30-linux-installer.run An installer will launch. Follow the prompts through. Nothing special here.
