This is a standalone plugin for COOJA to log the radio packets in headless mode. It is a stripped-down version of COOJA's graphical Radio Logger. It allows to generate PCAPs while executing COOJA from the command line with the -nogui option.

Note the Cooja API has been modified between Contiki 3.0 and the current contiki, if you are using Contiki 3.0, please select the tag 'contiki-3.0'

To install this plugin in COOJA:

1. (optional, recommended) Copy the 'cooja-radiologger-headless' folder to your COOJA apps folder.
2. (optional, recommended) Rename it to 'radiologger-headless'
3. Build the plugin:
   • Open a console and Navigate into the radiologger-headless folder
   • type ant jar
   • You may need to adjust the cooja property in the build.xml file for this step
4. Add that folder to the DEFAULT_PROJECTDIRS variable, in one of the following ways:
   • Via the GUI.
     • Open COOJA in graphical mode
     • Go to Tools > Cooja Extensions
     • In the file browser in the left panel, browse to the cooja/apps folder
     • Check the box next to radiologger-headless (it should appear green)
     • 'Save' the window, click OK to permanently apply the change
   • By hand:
     • Open ~/.cooja.user.properties
     • Append ';[APPS_DIR]/radiologger-headless' at the end of the DEFAULT_PROJECTDIRS line
     • Note: this file is created the very first time you use COOJA in GUI mode, and is user-specific.
5. To enable this in your simulation, do it in one of 2 ways:
   • Via the GUI:
     • Open your simulation in COOJA
     • Select Tools > Headless radio logger...
     • You will see an empty window titled Radio logger headless. Do not close it.
     • Save your simulation and close COOJA.
   • By hand
     • Add the following snippet to the obvious place in the .csc file.
