TMI has developed an [[msp430]] target board for low power data acquisition.
Its design is not complete yet, but it is (SOON) available under an open
source license.  The design was created using [Eagle](http://www.cadsoft.de).
It provides a breakout of all uC pins, incorporates a Lithium Ion/Poly charger,
and a USB interface for communications and programming.

The actual design files are for the tmirws board, which is a superset of the
tmicore design.  One can trivially derive the tmicore design by simply cutting
the board layout at the inner rectangle.  The tmirws design is the heart of an
off-grid solar powered remote weather station that reports its observations to
an internet server via the cellular network.

TMI enhanced [[tinyos]] contains platform support for both the tmicore and
tmirws variants of this design.
