Promoted Projects

Projects in this category have been promoted into the tinyos-2.x baseline and are now being maintained on the main development branch. Any questions about their use can now be directed to the tinyos-help

Projects get promoted once a working group is formed to push their use forward or they are taken in by an existing working group. If you would like to get your code promoted, send an email to the tinyos-2.x-contrib-caretakers and they will tell you what you need to do to get your code ready.

Project Name:	DirectStorage Library
Contact:	David Moss
Institution:	Rincon Research Corporation
License:	Rincon BSD License
Date Modified:	December 21, 2006
Description:	This library is cross-platform compatible, allowing direct access to any non-volatile media. It can be used to modify bytes on non-volatile memories that support modifications. It also allows the application layer to access information about the type of non-volatile memory being used. It currently supports external ST M25P80 and AT45DB flash chips as well as internal AVR and MSP430 non-volatile user memory. It can be used to implement on other non-volatile media types very easily.

Using LinkLayerModel to generate the xy position and link gain. 3 - Alterations to the Tossim simulator for the support of sensors and flash. Abstractions so that the development of applications in tossim are almost equal in telosb. To do this was create BlockStorageSimC, HamamatsuSimS1087ParC, HamamatsuSimS10871TsrC, SensirionSimSht11C.nc. This components simulates the real time to read the data from the hardware. Still in development: 4 - Application of alarm. More info here. 5 - New hybrid MAC. More info here. 6 - Application to get data from sensors and send data to the sink using a static net with low consumption energy.
