+README for TestStartSync
+Author/Contact: Jan Hauer <hauer@tkn.tu-berlin.de>
+
+Description:
+
+In this application one node takes the role of a PAN coordinator in a
+beacon-enabled 802.15.4 PAN, it transmits periodic beacons with a frequency
+defined in the app_profile.h file. A second node acts as a device, it first
+scans all available channels for beacons from the coordinator and once it finds
+a beacon it tries to synchronize to and track all future beacons. 
+
+Criteria for a successful test:
+
+After a few seconds all nodes should have the LED1 turned on and LED2
+toggling in unison every second.
+
+
+Tools: NONE
+
+Usage: 
+
+1. Install the coordinator:
+
+    $ cd coordinator; make <platform> install
+
+2. Install one (or more) devices:
+
+    $ cd device; make <platform> install
+
+You can change some of the configuration parameters in app_profile.h
+
+Known bugs/limitations:
+
+- Many TinyOS 2 platforms do not have a clock that satisfies the
+  precision/accuracy requirements of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard (e.g. 
+  62.500 Hz, +-40 ppm in the 2.4 GHz band); in this case the MAC timing 
+  is not standard compliant
