集成化开发环境Eclipse

集成化开发环境http://www.dcg.ethz.ch/~rschuler/ 有人把tinyos程序开发集成到了Eclipse这个软件中了，这样就可以在IDE中开发可以调试程序了如下flash演示。

cygwin的软件

cygwin的软件，这是在windows平台跑linux程序的模拟软件，

Crossbow的网站上都能下到，比如TinyOS_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf, http://www.xbow.com/Products/productsdetails.aspx?sid=3。

tinyos是一个操作系统

http://www.tinyos.net/dist-1.1.0/tinyos/windows/上下

把那个micaz-installer目录下的所有文件下到硬盘上就可以了，大概有个160M多点吧。

How to Build Wireless Sensor Networks

Wireless Sensor Networks integrate the physical world with IT systems that make the real-time enterprise a reality. The use of Wireless Sensor Networks is practically limitless - but each industry and application has special technology requirements for WSN design and reliability, battery life, radio frequencies, enterprise integration and network management.

This Webcast will:

Help you to better understand the benefits of Wireless Sensor Networks

Equip you to successfully navigate the requirements for developing WSN applications

Explain the challenges of designing a successful product

Topics covered during the one-hour presentation include:

State of the WSN market, including key trends and application requirements

Reliable, flexible mesh networking - Learn how to achieve 99.99% reliability

Low power strategies - Learn how to operate a WSN for multiple years on batteries

Enterprise Integration - Learn how to integrate the WSN with enterprise applications

Network management - Learn how to commission and maintain a WSN once deployed

仿真软件叫tossim

在硬件实验板准备好之前其实也可以研究tinyos的应用程序，它有个配套的仿真软件叫tossim。只要打开cygwin到应用程序目录下敲个make micaz就可以了。tinyos应用程序以组件的形式开发，用的是类NesC语法，类似与C语言，靠ncc编译器把组件程序转换成标准C代码，然后再调用avr单片机linux下的编译器avr-gcc来编译成机器码

zigbee是一个无线通信的协议栈，

Zigbee系统和CDMA系统一样，都采用的是直序扩频技术（DSSS）,它是一种抗干扰能力极强，保密性，可靠性都很高的通信方式。

Zigbee 技术中，使用网状网拓扑结构，自动路由，动态组网，直序扩频的方式。就是为了满足工业自动化控制现场的这种需要。
