[Tinyos-help] How to make MSP430 sleep?

[Eric Decker]

First,
why do you have to use T1?

I'm more familar with T2 since I haven't worked with T1 for over 2 years.

T2 will automatically put itself to sleep if it doesn't have any work (tasks
posted) to do.
That is the short answer.  It is more complicated than that because the task
scheduler
will call power routines that determine how much of the core chipset is
needed and
will chose the appropriate power down mode.

In T2 the relevant pieces of code are in

    tos/chips/msp430/McuSleepC.nc
    tos/lib/tosthreads/system/TinyThreadSchedulerP.nc
    tos/system/SchedulerBasicP.nc

look for the calls to McuSleep.sleep();

Low power modes are also discussed in TEPs 106, 112, 131, and 134.

If you can't find a TEP on the doc web pages try pulling the HEAD of the T2
CVS tree.
They will be in the doc directory at the top level.

Hope that helps.
