Installing Blink on the Imote2

This page displays the output of a successful compilation and installation of Blink, an application that periodically blinks the red LED. It is here to serve as a reference for what correct output should look like. There are actually two commands. The first compiles Blink for the Imote2 platform. The second command uses USBLoaderHost.exe to program the binary image onto the mote.
