Hi Bharath,

Its been I while since I was setting up the development environment for
imote2 but from what I remember I could not manage to get it running on
64bit machine (Windows 7 with cygwin). I got into series issues with
compiling, incompatible libraries etc. My advise : get an old computer and
install Ubuntu on x86 architecture. For me it got working almost out of the
box.

Best
Roman
