Contiki port

• Contiki Port at Wincent Balin blog, Documentation in pdf: here

This is a port of the Contiki OS version 2.3 for the ez430 RF2500. The latter one is a small, affordable board with a MSP430F2274 microcontroller 
and a CC2500 2.4 GHz radio chip,   manufactured by Texas Instruments.

• Only 2 nodes. From serial-terminal can read the local or the remote sensors

  • ez430-rf2500 (row tranceiver) test application

      The raw transceiver test application is a very small firmware written to test the transceiver chip. It can be used to evaluate the transmission range of the modules 
  depending upon  some settings (data whitening, FEC). It' doesn't use any SimpliciTI facility, but directly access the transceiver at register level.
  The test application will try to send a fixed size packet as soon as it received one with a valid CRC (green LED flash). 
  If no packet is received, it will try to send one after two  seconds (red LED flash). 
  This way, the same application can be used on both nodes to evaluate the range of the transceiver. 
  By pressing the button, the application switches between different transceiver settings (nothing, only data whitening, only FEC and both). 
  The mode switch is displayed by a flash on red and green LED. Of course, both modules should have the same settings.
  The application compiles with a makefile by using msp-gcc. Invoking make run will download the software using msp430-gdb and gdbproxy
