TinyOS is an open source component-based operating system and platform targeting wireless sensor networks.

Introduction


TinyOS is an embedded operating system, written in NesC programming language, as a set of cooperating tasks and processes. It is designed to be able to incorporate rapid innovation as well as to operate within the severe memory constraints inherent in sensor networks. It is intended to be incorporated into smartdust.

Source code, platform, compatibility


TinyOS is mostly written in C. Tinyos is a set of NesC, with some Java. NesC is a component architecture solution that use component-based programming language and is a C like programming language. Programs for TinyOS are written mostly in C like. Associate libraries, and tools are mostly written in C, like the NesC compiler, AVR binutils toolchains and use gcc compiler to load the data to the wirelesee device.
