Octopus: A Modular Visualization and Control Tool for Sensor Networks

We would like to announce the release of Octopus, a new modular visualization and control tool for sensor networks, developed at the PRISM group in UCD.
Octopus is an open-source visualization and control tool for sensor networks in the TinyOS 2.x environment. Octopus provides users with a graphical user interface (GUI) for viewing the live sensor network topology. It also allows the user to control the behavior of one, many, or all sensor nodes, such as the sampling period, the radio duty cycle, or triggering mode.
For more information, please refer to the Octopus Project Home Page

A Pre-Configured XubunTOS Virtual Machine Image
|
|
By klueska, Section TinyOS Releases

Last Thursday I announced the creation of a tutorial that stepped you through the process of downloading a VMware server and creating a XubunTOS virtual machine within it. Now I am announcing a tutorial that allows you to run a pre-configured XubunTOS virtual machine image inside of VMware Player.
VMware server is a free tool that allows you to create and manage multiple virtual machines in parallel from a single desktop.
An alternative to the VMware server is the VMware player. VMware player takes virtual machines created by a VMware server and allows you to run them, but not modify them. It is a light weight alternative to the VMware server when a virtual machine has already been provided to you.
If you are not concerned with setting up the XubunTOS virtual machine yourself, and just want to get started using TinyOS as fast as possible, then a pre-configured XubunTOS virtual machine that runs in VMware player is the option for you.
Instructions on where to get the XubunTOS virtual machine, how to install VMware, and how to get XubunTOS running correctly can be found at the link below:

XubunTOS VMware installation for Windows and Linux

I have created a brief tutorial on how to get a VMware installation of XubunTOS up and running in both a Debian based linux distribution as well as Windows.
For linux users, this means that you can now create an isolated TinyOS development environment inside a virtual machine that is completely separate from your primary desktop. No longer will you have to fiddle with the complications of getting TinyOS to run along side the rest of your development tools. Just install XubunTOS in a VMware virtual machine, and do all your TinyOS development from there.
For windows users, the XubunTOS VMware installation provides an alternative to using cygwin to do TinyOS development. The virtual machine runs a full blown Xubuntu Linux distribution which already has TinyOS pre-installed and configured for TinyOS development.
The XubuntTOS installation tutorial can be found at the following link:
XubunTOS VMware installation
Try it out and let me know how things go.

People looking for the easiest way to install TinyOS can now grab XubunTOS 2, a combination of Xubuntu Feisty Fawn (7.04), Stanford's TinyOS 2.0.2 debs and TinyOS 1.x from CVS.

What is TinyOS?
|
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. More >>
