Hi Phil, I went through your programming manual.
And in chapter4 I found this following example. Consider a packet layer on top of a UART. When the UART receives a byte, it signals an interrupt. In the interrupt handler, software reads the byte out of the data register and puts it in a buffer. When the last byte of a packet is received, the software needs to signal packet reception. Do u mean to say that the interrupt handler for receiving the byte through UART is an async event, and the sync event is one which handles the packet reception signal.

The TinyOS programming manual goes into the difference (Chapter 4).
