-Description:
-
-BaseStation is an application that acts as a simple Active Message
-bridge between the serial and radio links. It replaces the GenericBase
-of TinyOS 1.0 and the TOSBase of TinyOS 1.1.
-
-On the serial link, BaseStation sends and receives simple active
-messages (not particular radio packets): on the radio link, it sends
-radio active messages, whose format depends on the network stack being
-used. BaseStation will copy its compiled-in group ID to messages
-moving from the serial link to the radio, and will filter out incoming
-radio messages that do not contain that group ID.
-
-BaseStation includes queues in both directions, with a guarantee that
-once a message enters a queue, it will eventually leave on the other
-interface. The queues allow the BaseStation to handle load spikes more
-gracefully.
-
-BaseStation acknowledges a message arriving over the serial link only if
-that message was successfully enqueued for delivery to the radio link.
-
-The LEDS are programmed to toggle as follows:
-
-RED Toggle - Message bridged from serial to radio
-GREEN Toggle - Message bridged from radio to serial
-YELLOW/BLUE Toggle - Dropped message due to queue overflow
- in either direction
-
-When using a CC2420 radio, several default preprocessor configurations
-are defined in the Makefile:
- * CC2420_NO_ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
- - Prevents the base station from falsly acknowledging packets
- * CC2420_NO_ADDRESS_RECOGNITION
- - Allows the base station to sniff packets from any transmitter
-
-Other combinations can be defined to meet your application's needs:
- * CC2420_NO_ADDRESS_RECOGNITION only
- - Sniff all packets, but acknowledge packets only if they
- are sent to the base station's address
-
- * Removing all preprocessor definitions in the Makefile
- - Only accept packets destined for the base station's address,
- and acknowledge those packets
