Changed the parameter 'char * data' of process_start to the
type process_data_t. This was an artifact when the choice was
made to use the void * type for the data parameter in processes.

Changed parameter 'void * data' of process_post_synch to
process_data_t for consistency.

Checked all the uses of process_start() in contiki and fixed casts
of the data parameter.
Update README.md

Adding new command for ftdi_sio which applies to Kernel>3.12 used by Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
Removing trailing whitespaces
Fix time accounting on msp430 Series 1 and Series 2 MCU based platforms.

The problem with the current version of the code was that the condition at the end of the do...while loop at Timer A1 interrupt:
 while((TACCR1 - TAR) > INTERVAL);
evaluates to false whenever TACCR1 == TAR.
Not incrementing TACCR1 in this case leads to Timer A1 interrupt not being called for 2 seconds, until TAR counter reaches TACCR1 again after an overflow.

The patch avoids this problem by changing the condition of the loop, and using CLOCK_LT macro to compare between time values.

The patch also attempts to fix another problem: a read of TAR register while it is being updated may return a lower value than the actual contents. To avoid that, the "read twice and compare results" idiom should be used. As the TAR register is updated by the actual hardware, it is of no importance whether it is read with interrupts disabled or enabled; the problem can occur in both contexts.

Clean up script commands in .travis.yml.

Besides general whitespace and quoting cleanup, commands that test
variables were changed from:
  [ $B = a ] && command || true
to
  if [ $B = a ] ; then command ; fi
This form correctly returns the exit code of "command".
Add retries to commands that download from external servers.

This helps reduce the chance of a build failure due to transient
download error.  This also switches to consistent use of wget
throughout, which reports download errors more cleanly in the travis
build logs.
Rename travis "arm" BUILD_ARCH to "arm-apcs".

These platforms are built with an old ARM compiler that supports the
deprecated APCS standard.
Increase fixed filename sizes in SLIP tunnels

Long serial port names like
  /dev/serial/by-id/usb-FTDI_FT230X_Basic_UART_DN0038W8-if00-port0
cause crashes.  This is the simplest fix to avoid the problem.

[cooja] plugins/analyzers: Added PacketAnalyzer for 6lowpan fragmentation header
[cooja] plugins/Visualizer: Fix: Always highlight selected motes.

Motes were highlighted only by the UDGMVisualizerSkin before.
Now highlighting moved from individual VisualizerSkin to Visualizer.

A selected mote is highlighted with a blue circle
and a semi-transparent gray overlay.
[cooja] plugins/Visualizer: Enable multi-mote deletion in mote menu
[cooja] plugins/Visualizer: Fixed node selection in Delete menu handling

Previously if multiple motes were selected
and the context menu of a non-selected mote
was used to delete, not the clicked mote
but the other selected ones were removed.

This behavior is fixed so that if another
mote is clicked only this is deleted.
[cooja] plugins/Visualizer: Implemented multi-mode behavior of delete mote menu for move, too

Note that this does not yet implement the correct behavior of beginMoveReques()
