Additional Notes on the Tutorial: (http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-1.x/doc/tutorial/) With only TOSSIM we can not execute all steps of the tutorial, as it was designed to run on mote hardware. Therefore, read through the entire tutorial, except where noted below, executing whatever exercises you can using TOSSIM. The following indicates which sections/exercises we can skip. 1) Skip Device Programmer Tools. 2) In System and Hardware Verification, run only 'toscheck', skip the remaining items. 3) For Lessons 1,2 and 4, skip Exercises until you have completed Lesson 5. Then go back and complete the exercises. 4) In Lesson 1, skip "Programming the mote and running Blink". 5) In Lesson 2, skip "Running the Sense application". 6) In Lesson 4, note that TOSSIM does not allow concurrent execution of different applications. Thus, you can't do exercise 2 as written with TOSSIM. 7) As part of Lesson 5, read http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-1.x/doc/nido.pdf 8) Lesson 6 is optional. 9) In Lesson 7, the last two exercises can't be done with TOSSIM, because of the previously mentioned limitation. 10) In Lesson 8, skip "Data collection using SenseLightToLog". 11) It is a good idea to read http://www.tinyos.net/tinyos-1.x/doc/nido.pdf. It isn't too long.
