[Tinyos-devel] Parameterization of UartStream interface in UART abstraction on all platforms?

[Vlado Handziski]

As discussed in the thread here started by Eric Decker, parametrization of
the UartStream interfaces exported from the UART abstraction can simplify
the event handling logic in the user components. Eric has sent patches to
this end for the msp430 which Kevin will test and incorporate in the tree,
as agreed at the teleconference yesterday.

I am not sure who is currently maintaining the UART components for the
atm128 but the current implementation does not support multiple users
through arbitration. Although this is not currently needed, we never know
when a platform might come that needs this functionality, as in Eric's case
for the msp430. In principle all HIL level abstractions should by default
support arbitrated operation, and buses in particular. So maybe this is a
good opportunity to line up the abstractions on the different
microcontrollers?
