CC2430 (8051) support for TinyOS 2.x
 
By leopold, Section TinyOS Working Groups
Wed Aug 15th, 2007 at 12:17:13 AM PST

The TinyOS 8051 working group announces the first port of TinyOS 2 to Texas Instruments CC2430. We encourage all interested parties to visit our website to learn more or to test this platform:
http://www.tinyos8051wg.net.

For any queries or comments feel free to contact Martin Leopold (leopold AT diku.dk), or join our our mailing list to comment or participate in developing this port further. Features of the port include:

  • Keil PK51 compiler support
  • Preliminary SDCC compiler support
  • Stand alone inline support developed by Will Archer and Nathan Cooprider from John Regehr's research group at University of Utah
  • Wide range of TinyOS 2 driver support, including radio, adc, timers, and more.
  • Two platforms supported: Sensinode Nano and Texas Instruments CC2430 Development Kit

Task Preemption in TinyOS-2.x
 
By cormacduffyUCC, Section News
Mon Jul 9th, 2007 at 10:09:21 AM PST

The MISL research lab at UCC & InfoLab21 at Lancaster University have developed a new scheduler for TinyOS-2.x as a tinyos-2.x-contrib module.

By adding task preemption the new scheduler is capable of interrupting non-critical tasks and begin processing tasks of greater priority immediately. Preemptive schedulers can make it easier for users to meet their application timing constraints.

The new scheduler allows programmers to define a TinyOS task with a specific priority. 5 task priority levels are possible one of which supports the basic TinyOS task.

New "Iris" motes from Crossbow
 
By rkling, Section News
Tue Jun 19th, 2007 at 12:02:43 PM PST
Crossbow Technology announces immediate availability of its new IRIS motes, a new family of ultra low-power, long-range wireless sensor network products. The IRIS platform features the following:

* Excellent RF range up to 3x that of comparable devices using IEEE 802.15.4 compliant radios
* Ultra low-power consumption down to half the sleep current of previous products (~8uA)
* Twice the program memory of MicaZ (8kB)
* Compelling new low price points

The IRIS OEM Module is a 24mm x 24mm "postage stamp" module optimized for fast, seamless integration of low-power, wireless mesh-networking into OEM hardware designs. The IRIS Mote includes an IRIS OEM Module in a MicaZ form factor with compatible 51-pin connector that can attach to existing and new sensor boards. The Iris runs TinyOS 1.x based Moteworks which can be downloaded free for non commercial use. For details please contact sales@xbow.com.

Sensinode TinyOS Support
 
By zdshelby, Section News
Thu May 10th, 2007 at 12:06:02 PM PST
Sensinode Ltd. and Philippe Bonnet's group at the University of Copenhagen DIKU announce TinyOS support for Sensinode Micro and Nano series nodes. In addition to the company's own 6lowpan C-based NanoStack, TinyOS support provides greater access for researchers to experiment with a huge variety of existing protocols.

Sensinode Micro is a modular (Telos-compatible) plug'n'play product series for rapid prototyping with a variety of add-on modules. In the Hogthrob project Marcus Chang developed TinyOS 1.X support available at tinyos-1.x/contrib/diku/sensinode/apps/. Release of 2.X support is planned.

At the recent TinyOS Exchange, DIKU's Martin Leopold and Marcus Chang demonstrated the world's first TinyOS 8051 support, on the new Sensinode Nano OEM module. Nano is based on the CC2430 SoC, and is scheduled for 2Q-2007 release.

Sensinode is an enterprise wireless sensor network node and system provider from Finland, providing open-standard open-source solutions.

Moteiv launches Tmote Mini "mote core"
 
By jpolastre, Section TinyOS Platforms
Tue May 8th, 2007 at 12:16:16 PM PST
Moteiv Corporation, a leading wireless sensor network solutions provider and supporter of TinyOS, today unveiled the most recent member of its highly successful Tmote product family, the Moteiv Tmote Mini(tm). The Tmote Mini is a wireless sensor network node, or mote that supports the Zigbee(tm) specification, runs TinyOS, and is packaged in an industry-standard miniSDIO(tm) form factor. The ultra-compact form factor allows for immediate integration of the Tmote Mini "mote core" into devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and other mobile products.

More information about the Tmote Mini is available at www.moteiv.com
