[Tinyos-help] TinyOS

Hello Aldo,

Take a look at:

http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/Getting_started

You can use TinyOS from Windows using either a VM running Linux or from
within cygwin.  Cygwin provides a linux like environment that can be
used from within windows.  Pretty cool tool.

To directly answer your question, I guess that TinyOS is designed for a
Unix type environment.  The core DLL used by Cygwin can be thought of as
emulating Unix, so I guess I agree that to use it in Windows you need to
install a Unix emulator.

Any one else have a take on this?

Hope that helps,
