TinyOS 2.0 Support for Crossbow’s IRIS Mote Platform
Earlier this month, Crossbow announced the availability of the TinyOS 2.0 Operating System for Crossbow’s advanced IRIS Motes. TinyOS 2.0 is the latest major release of the popular open source embedded operating system. This release now enables developers to use the latest generation TinyOS software on the latest generation Sensor Network hardware.
TinyOS is an open-source operating system designed for wireless embedded sensor networks. It features a component-based architecture which enables rapid innovation and implementation while minimizing code size as required by the severe memory constraints inherent in sensor networks. The TinyOS component library includes network protocols, distributed services, sensor drivers, and data acquisition tools. The event-driven execution model enables fine-grained power management yet allows the scheduling flexibility made necessary by the unpredictable nature of wireless communication and physical world interfaces.
