This is the TinyOS Documentation Wiki. Everyone is welcome to edit these pages and contribute TinyOS documentation. In order to edit, you must first create an account, using the "create account" link on the upper right. Consult the Wiki User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.

This site actively encourages contributions. If you are not familiar with the Wiki system, consult the Wiki User's Guide. We prefer all documentation to live on this site, rather than having links to external sites, but if you really need to point at an external site, external links are OK too.

Summary

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 – all of which can be used as-is or be further refined for a custom application. TinyOS was originally developed as a research project at the University of California Berkeley, but has since grown to have an international community of developers and users.
