Introduction

Nano-RK currently runs on the FireFly Sensor Networking Platform as well as the MicaZ motes. Our aim is to enhance the capabilities of Nano-RK for the TelosB platform (TI MSP430F1611). Motes that are generally used in wireless networks require radio stack to communicate with other motes in the network. Sensors are required to collect the data from the environment they are posted in. These two components are critical for the usability of the mote in a sensor network. This project aims at implementing the radio stack and light and temperature sensor modules for Nano-RK on the TI MSP430F1611 platform

Telos Rev. B platform has the following components, Chipcon CC2420 (radio transceiver), a photo synthetically active radiation sensor (light sensor) and a temperature sensor along with other sensors. Currently Nano-RK doesn't have support for the above mentioned components on Telos Rev. B platform. Our project goal is to provide support for the radio transceiver, light sensor and temperature sensor for the TI MSP430F1611 platform under Nano-RK. Along with the above support our aim is to implement the power save mode under Nano-RK for this platform.
