We have constructed a web site of development tools for TinyOS programmers. The http link is
http://www.cs.virginia.edu/~lg6e/tool
The web site currrently has VDB (a debug utility)
and an event replay tool...
|
| VDB supports debug message (to UART), assertions,
and write/read EEPROM (4KB internal EEPROM).
It is designed to be easy-to-use -- just include the source file then all the functions are available. No component wiring is needed. Currently, it only supports the AVR family processor, such as in Mica2, XSM, and ExScal. But porting to other platforms is definitely possible.
The event replay tool is a middleware that enables environmental event recording and
replay. It helps researchers analyze/debug an application with real data but without the overhead of repeating outdoor experiments. Using its user interface, you can define one or multiple commands/events to be recorded and replayed. You can also control the mode (RECORD or REPLAY) of the system at runtime.
Contributions are welcomed! If you have developed
some useful tools and want to link it from this web site, please let us know. Suggestions and comments will also be appreciated. |
