[Tinyos-help] plans for CC430 support (when it comes out)?

[Sebastian Bachmaier]

Hi Randy,

the CC430 seems to be an interesting platform. So, I would also be  
interested in news regarding this platform.

As far as I can see, this would first of all mean to support the  
MSP430F5xx µC. They are making progress to this end at the mspgcc  
project, but the necessary changes for nesC are not implemented by  
the TinyOS/nesC colleagues as far as I know. Maybe the gurus can tell  
us more? Maybe some other build tools have to be adapted to support  
the larger memory of the F5xx.
Then, some (larger?) adaptation to the chips/msp430 directory branch  
are necessary, as the internal modules of F5xx have evolved.

Support for CC430's CC1101 RF chip seems to be implemented in TinyOS  
already. The help page http://docs.tinyos.net/index.php/CC1100/CC2500  
states that the CC1100 and CC1101 are "pin and driver compatible" and  
a implementation for CC1100 resides in the tinos-2.x-contrib/blaze  
directory branch.

Summarizing this, I think it is quite some effort to support the  
CC430. First of all, the build process will have to support  MSP430F5xx.

Best regards,
Sebastian
