Code Organization

The code for a sensorboard consists of multiple layers. This section describes how those layers are organized in the tos directory structure.

  • Independent Chip Code - The sensorboard will be an assembly of different chips. Some of those chips will be complicated enough to merit platform independent code and should be located in tos/chips/<chipname> directory.
  • Sensorboard Dependent Chip Code - Some chips will require code specific to the physical connections made on the sensorboard and the code should be located in tos/sensorboards/<boardname>/chips/<chipname> directory.
  • Platform Dependent Sensorboard Code - Some code will depend on the specific platform it is being connected to (for example, anything that uses buses controlled by the platform). That code should be located in tos/platforms/<platformname>/sensorboards/<boardname>/ and organized in a similar chips/<chipname> sub directory as appropriate.
  • Independent Helper Code - Code that can be written to be independent of the sensorboard should be added in an appropriate tos/lib/<name> directory.
  • Dependent Helper Code - Code that exposes useful features of the sensorboard and is specific to the sensorboard should be located in the tos/sensorboards/<boardname>/ directory and any appropriate sub directories if required.

MTS420CA/CB GPS

TODO

Remaining Work

  • Documentation and Code for all sensors except the GPS on the MTS420CA
  • Documentation for the GPS 420CA
  • Documentation for supporting code
  • Refining and Testing GPS Code
    • SiRF packet reception
    • Controlling GPS
    • Test Power (does GPS_ENA need to be high? what does GPS_PWR do?)
  • How To documentation
    • How to use the code
    • File List

Where to find the code
