Hi Gaurav,

Take a look at /opt/tinyos-1.x/tos/system/sched.c (starting at line 64).
 You should only have to define TOSH_MAX_TASKS_LOG2 in your Makefile to
something between 1 and 8, depending on whether you want 2, 4, 8, 16, 32
etc. and then recompile.

You would add this to your Makefile with a line like:

	CFLAGS += -DTOSH_MAX_TASKS_LOG2=6

Hope that helps,
tony
