Nano-RK - Wireless Sensor Networking RTOS

Nano-RK is a fully preemptive reservation-based real-time operating system (RTOS) from Carnegie Mellon University with multi-hop networking support for use in wireless sensor networks. Nano-RK currently runs on the FireFly Sensor Networking Platform as well as the MicaZ motes. It includes a light-weight embedded resource kernel (RK) with rich functionality and timing support using less than 2KB of RAM and 18KB of ROM.

Nano-RK - Wireless Sensor Networking RTOS

Features Include

• C GNU tool-chain
• Classical Preemptive Operating System Multitasking Abstractions
• Real-Time Priority Based Scheduling
• Built-in Fault Handling
• Energy Efficient Scheduling based on a-prior task-set knowledge
• Small Footprint (<2K RAM, 16K ROM, including link layer)
• SLIPstream (a simple gateway to IP network protocol and utility)
• Eclipse IDE allows for easy development

TinyOS for Wireless Embedded Sensor Networks

TinyOS is an open-source operating system designed for wireless embedded sensor networks. It features a component-based architecture which enables rapid innovation and implementation while minimizing code size as required by the severe memory constraints inherent in sensor networks. TinyOS's component library includes network protocols, distributed services, sensor drivers, and data acquisition tools.

TinyOS for Wireless Embedded Sensor Networks

TinyOS has been ported to over a dozen platforms and numerous sensor boards. A wide community uses it in simulation to develop and test various algorithms and protocols.
