access to the sensor. A sensor device driver can provide such
virtualization for itself by defining a nesC generic client
component. When a client component is being used, a call to a
-top-level SID interface should be delayed when the device is busy,
-rather than failing. This virtualization may be easier to accomplish
-by using one of the arbiters provided by the system.

+

+ provides interface DeviceMetadata as HumidityDeviceMetadata;
}

interface. Sensors that draw appreciable power MUST be started in
response to a call to one of the top-level SID interfaces, and stopped
-some time after that call completes. One of the power-management
-components described in [TEP115]_ may be useful for this purpose.

-A value contained returned from the device through a SID interface
-MAY be left shifted so that it covers as much of the type's range as
-possible. For example, if a 12-bit ADC reading is presented as a
-16-bit Read interface::
-
- component DemoSensorC {
- provides interface Read<uint16_t>;
- }
-
-then the driver MAY shift the 12-bit value left so that its range is
-0x0000 - 0xfff0, rather than 0x0000 - 0x0fff.
+The getSignificantBits() call MUST return the number of significant
+bits in the reading. For example, a sensor reading taken from a 12-bit
+ADC would typically return the value 12 (it might return less if, e.g.,

Sensor driver components SHOULD be named according to the make and
model of the sensing device being presented. Using specific names

-4. Directory Organization Guidelines
+4. Sensor Component Organization and Compiler Interaction Guidelines
====================================================================
-Because the same physical sensor may be attached to TinyOS platforms
-in many different ways, the organization of sensor drivers should
-reflect the distinction between sensor and sensor interconnect.
-
-Sensor components commonly exist at three levels:
-platform-independent, sensorboard-dependent, and
-platform-dependent. Factoring a sensor driver into these three pieces
-allows for greater code reuse when the same sensor is attached to
-different sensorboards or platforms.
-
-Platform-independent sensor driver components for a particular sensor,
-like protocol logic, when in the core TinyOS 2.x source tree, SHOULD
-be placed into "tos/chips/<sensor>", where <sensor> reflects the make
-and model of the sensor device being supported. When not a part of the
-core source tree, this directory can be placed anywhere as long as the
-nesC compiler recieves a `-I` directive pointing to the sensor's
-directory. However, not all sensors have a sufficiently large amount
-of platform-independent logic to justify a separate "chips"
-directory. Sensor chips are more likely to be digital sensors than
-analog sensors, for example.
-
-A sensor board is a collection of sensor components with a fixed name,
-intended for attachment to multiple platforms. Each sensor board MUST
-have its own directory named <sensorboard>. Default TinyOS 2.x sensor
-boards are placed in "tos/sensorboards/<sensorboard>", but sensor
-board directories can be placed anywhere as long as the nesC compiler
-receives a `-I` directive pointing to the sensor board's directory.
-
-Both sensors and sensor boards MUST have unique names. Case is
-significant, but two sensor boards MUST differ in more than case. This
-is necessary to support platforms where filename case differences are
-not significant.
-
-Each sensor board directory MUST contain a `.sensor` file. This file
-is a perl script which gets executed as part of the `ncc` nesC
-compiler frontend. It can add or modify any compile-time options
-necessary for a particular sensor board. It MAY modify the following
-perl variables, and MUST NOT modify any others:
-
-- @new_args: This is the array of arguments which will be passed to
- nescc. For instance, you might add an include directive to @new_args
- with push @new_args, `-Isomedir`. This could be used to include
- subdirectories.
-
-- @commonboards: This can be set to a list of sensor board names which
- should be added to the include path list. These sensor boards must be
- in tinyos-2.x/tos/sensorboards.
-
-If the sensor board wishes to define any C types or constants, it
-SHOULD place these in a file named <sensorboard>.h in the sensor
-board's directory.
-
-A sensor board directory MAY contain a "chips" directory, with
-subdirectories for each of the sensors connected to the sensor board.
-If a "chips" subdirectory is used, sensorboard-dependent driver
-components needed to connect platform-independent logic to a
-particular attachment for that sensor should be placed in
-"<sensorboard>/chips/<sensor>".
-
-Components needed to connect the platform-independent sensor driver
-components or sensorboard-dependent components to the hardware
-resources available on a particular platform SHOULD be placed in
-"tos/<platform>/chips/<sensor>". In addition, components for a sensor
-that only exists on a particular platform should be placed in a such a
+Sensors are associated either with a particular sensor board or with a
+particular platform. Both sensors and sensor boards MUST have unique
+names. Case is significant, but two sensor (or sensor board) names
+MUST differ in more than case. This is necessary to support platforms
+where filename case differences are not significant.
+
+Each sensor board MUST have its own directory whose name is the sensor
+board's unique name (referred to as <sensorboard> in the rest of this
+section). Default TinyOS 2.x sensor boards are placed in
+``tos/sensorboards/<sensorboard>``, but sensor board directories can be
+placed anywhere as long as the nesC compiler receives a ``-I`` directive
+pointing to the sensor board's directory. Each sensor board directory
+MUST contain a ``.sensor`` file (described below). If the
+sensor board wishes to define any C types or constants, it SHOULD
+place these in a file named ``<sensorboard>.h`` in the sensor board's
directory.
-Sensors that exist as part of a larger chip, like a MCU internal
-voltage sensor, SHOULD be placed in a subdirectory of the chip's
-directory. "tos/<chip>/sensors/<sensor>".
+A sensor board MAY contain components that override the default TinyOS
+*demo sensors*. This allows the sensor board to easily be used with
+TinyOS sample applications that use the demo sensors. If a sensor
+board wishes to override the default demo sensor:
+
+* It MUST provide a generic component named ``DemoSensorC`` with the
+ following signature::
+
+ provides interface Read<uint16_t>;
+ provides interface DeviceMetadata;
+
+* It MAY provide a generic component named ``DemoSensorNowC`` with the
+ following signature::
+
+ provides interface ReadNow<uint16_t>;
+ provides interface DeviceMetadata;
-The `.platform` and `.sensor` files need to include enough `-I`
-directives to locate all of the necessary components needed to support
-the sensors on a platform and/or sensorboard.
+ This component SHOULD sample the same sensor as ``DemoSensorC``.
-All of these directory organization guidelines are only intended for
-code that will enter the core source tree. In general, sensor
-components may be placed anywhere as long as the nesC compiler
-receives enough `-I` directives to locate all of the necessary pieces.
+* It MAY provide a generic component named ``DemoSensorStreamC`` with the
+ following signature::
+
+ provides interface ReadStream<uint16_t>;
+ provides interface DeviceMetadata;
+
+ This component SHOULD sample the same sensor as ``DemoSensorC``.
+
+These components MUST be an alias for one of the sensor board's usual
+sensors, though they change the precision of the sensor if necessary.
+For instance, if ``DemoSensorC`` is an alias for a 20-bit sensor that
+provides a ``Read<uint32_t>`` interface, ``DemoSensorC`` would still
+provide ``Read<uint16_t>`` and would include code to reduce the
+precision of the aliased sensor.
+
+
+4.1 Compiler Interaction
+------------------------
+
+When the ``ncc`` nesC compiler frontend is passed a ``-board=X`` option,
+it executes the ``.sensor`` file found in the sensor board directory
+``X``. This file is a perl script which can add or modify any
+compile-time options necessary for the sensor board. It MAY modify the
+following perl variables, and MUST NOT modify any others:
+
+- ``@includes``: This array contains the TinyOS search path, i.e., the
+ directories which will be passed to nescc (the TinyOS-agnostic nesC
+ compiler) as ``-I`` arguments. You MUST add to ``@includes`` any
+ directories needed to compile this sensor board's components. For
+ instance, if your sensor boards depends on support code found in
+ ``tos/chips/sht11``, you would add ``"%T/chips/sht11"`` to ``@includes``.
+
+- ``@new_args``: This is the array of arguments which will be passed to
+ nescc. You MUST add any arguments other than ``-I`` that are necessary
+ to compile your sensor board components to ``@new_args``.
+
+If a sensor is associated with a platform `P` rather than a sensor
+board, then that platform MUST ensure that, when compiling for
+platform `P`, all directories needed to compile that sensor's
+component are added to the TinyOS search path (see [TEP131]_ for
+information on how to set up a TinyOS platform).
+
+4.2 Sensor Components
+---------------------
+
+A particular sensor is typically supported by many components,
+including the HIL and HAL components from Sections 2 and 3, A/D
+conversion components (for analog sensors), digital bus components
+(e.g., SPI, for digital sensors), system services (timers, resource
+and power management, ...), glue components (to connect sensors,
+sensor boards and platforms), etc. These components can be divided
+into three classes: sensorboard-dependent, platform-dependent and
+platform-independent. The sensorboard and platform MUST ensure
+(Section 4.1) that all these components can be found at compile-time.
+
+Because the same physical sensor can be used on many platforms or
+sensor boards, and attached in many different ways, to maximize code
+reuse the organization of sensor drivers SHOULD reflect the
+distinction between sensor and sensor interconnect. The sensor
+components SHOULD be platform-independent, while the sensor
+interconnect components are typically sensorboard or
+platform-dependent. However, some sensors (e.g. analong sensors) will
+not have a sufficiently large amount of platform-independent logic to
+justify creating platform-independent components.
+
+The following guidelines specify how to organize sensor and sensor
+interconnect components within TinyOS's directory hierarchy. These
+guidelines are only relevant to components that are part of the core
+source tree. The string ``<sensor>`` SHOULD reflect the make and model
+of the sensor device.
+
+- Platform-independent sensor components that exist as part of a
+ larger chip, like a MCU internal voltage sensor, SHOULD be placed in
+ a subdirectory of the chip's directory
+ ``tos/<chip>/sensors/<sensor>``.
+
+- Other platform-independent sensor components SHOULD be placed
+ in ``tos/chips/<sensor>``.
+
+- Sensorboard-dependent sensor and sensor interconnect components
+ SHOULD be placed either in the ``<sensorboard>`` directory or in a
+ ``<sensorboard>/chips/<sensor>`` directory.
+
+- Platform-dependent sensor and sensor interconnect components SHOULD
+ be placed in ``tos/<platform>/chips/<sensor>``.

+4. MDA100 Sensor Board Directory Organization
+---------------------------------------------
+
+Here we show the organization of the sensor board directory for the
+mica-family Xbow MDA100CA and MDA100CB sensor boards, which have
+temperature and light sensors. It is found in
+``tos/sensorboards/mda100``::
+
+ ./tos/sensorboards/mda100:
+ .sensor # Compiler configuration
+ ArbitratedPhotoDeviceP.nc # Light sensor support component
+ ArbitratedTempDeviceP.nc # Temperature sensor support component
+ DemoSensorC.nc # Override TinyOS's default sensor
+ PhotoC.nc # Light sensor HIL
+ PhotoImplP.nc # Light sensor support component
+ PhotoTempConfigC.nc # Shared support component
+ PhotoTempConfigP.nc # Shared support component
+ SharedAnalogDeviceC.nc # Shared support component
+ SharedAnalogDeviceP.nc # Shared support component
+ TempC.nc # Temperature Sensor HIL
+ ca/TempImplP.nc # Temperature sensor support component
+ # (MDA100CA board)
+ cb/TempImplP.nc # Temperature sensor support component
+ # (MDA100CB board)
+ mda100.h # Header file for mda100
+
+This sensor board provides only a HIL (PhotoC and TempC components), and overrides the
+TinyOS demo sensor (DemoSensorC). The demo sensor is an alias for PhotoC.
+
+The two forms of the mda100 differ only by the wiring of the
+temperature sensor. The user has to specify which form of the sensor
+board is in use by providing a ``-I%T/sensorboards/mda100/ca`` or
+``-I%T/sensorboards/mda100/cb`` compiler option.
+
+This sensor board relies on a platform-provided ``MicaBusC`` component
+that specifies how the mica-family sensor board bus is connected to
+the microcontroller.
