TinyOS

Warning: The main development tree (tinyos/tinyos-main) has been converted over to the new version 3 make system (issue #190 has been merged). (see below).

TinyOS is an open source, BSD-licensed operating system designed for low-power wireless devices, such as those used in sensor networks, ubiquitous computing, personal area networks, smart buildings, and smart meters. A worldwide community from academia and industry use, develop, and support the operating system as well as its associated tools, averaging 35,000 downloads a year.

============================================================================

Note: New Make system and tinyos-tools

The TinyOS make system has been upgraded to version 3. This brings many new improvements (see support/make/README.md for details) but also requires the tools to be rebuilt. To use TinyOS make version 3:

cd tools
./Bootstrap
./configure
make
sudo make install

alternatively you can use the tinyos-tools-devel package from tinyprod.net/ repos/debian. See the Readme at the top level (http://tinyprod.net/repos/debian). You need to modify /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tinyprod-debian.list. Change "squeeze" to "wheezy".

sudo -s
apt-get update
apt-get purge tinyos-tools
apt-get install tinyos-tools-devel

About tinyos-main

Long ago (well not that long ago), in a galaxy not too distant, tinyos development was hosted on Google Code as a subversion repository. This repository was writeable by a select group of core developers.

TinyOS development has moved to a fully distributed model to encourage more participation by switching to the git distributed version control system.

The Github tinyos-main repository will still be writeable by those same core developers. Pull requests are welcome and will be reviewed by the core developer most familiar with the relevant code.

Repo Structure

Currently there is a single mainline, master. gh:tinyos/tinyos-main(master). This is equivalent to the tip of the svn trunk.

Branches are very inexpensive and are encouraged for any significant development. Typically, a feature will be implemented on a topic branch, ie. -int. where stands for integration.

For the immediate future, branching should be done in private user repositories until the community gets used to how they work.

The general form for a repository/branch reference is: <github_context>/(branch) ie. gh:tinyos/tinyos-main(master) is the master branch in the tinyos/tinyos-main repository. Note that github repositories have a specific default branch controlled by github repository settings. gh:tinyos/tinyos-main refers to the repository but if that repository is pulled it will reference the default branch.

Local repositories are referenced using local(branch).
