TinyOS is an open-source BSD-licensed operating system for low-power wireless embedded devices, written primarily in nesC. This repository is the main development tree, which is being transitioned to the tinyprod/tp-freeforall repositories as active development has moved there.
Use cases
- build an operating system for wireless sensor network motes
- program low-power embedded devices for smart buildings
- develop sensor network applications on TinyOS
- compile TinyOS code with the Make3 build system
- contribute to TinyOS platform development
When to choose
- you need a mature, BSD-licensed OS for low-power wireless sensor network hardware
- you are maintaining existing TinyOS deployments or nesC code
- you are researching sensor network operating systems
When to avoid
- you want actively developed software - development has moved to tinyprod/tp-freeforall/prod
- you need an OS for general-purpose or non-wireless embedded devices
- you prefer modern C/C++ embedded toolchains over nesC
