Hi Urs, Phil, Marco,
Thanks for the advice. Yes profiling is a better explanation of what I was
trying to do. But ideally I would have liked to see how much overhead (if
any) TOS adds to the execution of a simple program (e.g. Blink). For
instance when a program compiles, I get X bytes in RAM, Y
Hi Angela,
A hardware emulator as AVRora can give you the kind of information you are
looking for. TOSSIM is a high level networks simulator and its objective is to
provide an idea of the network interaction among motes executing the TinyOS
stack. But the hardware abstraction of the motes is
HI Guys,
Just wondering if anybody knows any TOS tools that would show information
about processes running inside a mote (something like top, vmstat,
etc...although over-simplified)
Eg. would be useful to know how much cpu/memory in user mode and how much is
taken by TOS kernel (timers,

Hi Angela,
As Philip pointed out, TinyOS doesn't know about processes or
kernel-mode operation in the traditional sense. It sounds as if you
wanted to do profiling, like how much time is spent to perform a given
operation and how much of this time is taken by core TinyOS functions, etc.
