+# TMI TinyOS
+
 TMI maintains a [TinyOS](http://www.tinyos.net) branch containing certain
-features not available in the official tree.  The TMI repository contains
-code imported from CVS upstream, our internal working branches, and tags
-marking a series commits that are a clean patch series of the TMI enhancements
-against an official upstream release.
-
-* Current patchset tag: `patchset/2.1.0-3`
-* Derived from official release tag: `tinyos/2.1.0`
-* View the latest patchset [here](/gitweb/?p=tinyos-2.x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/patchset/2.1.0-3).
-
-The TMI TinyOS code requires a newer [[msp430]] toolchain.  A complete TinyOS
-development environment including a newer toolchain is available for
-installation from our [[APT repository|aptrepo]].  Our local source repositories
-for the other tinyos specific tools, deputy-tinyos and nesc, are also provided
-above.
+features not available in the official tree.  We use this this code for our
+internal and customer development efforts.  TMI enhancements include:
+
+* Support for newer [[msp430]] chipsets, such as the MSP430F2618.
+
+* An implementation of the USCI peripheral, supporting UART, SPI and I2C
+  communications.  Both SPI slave and master modes are supported, with the
+  driver knowing what to do in slave mode if the master unasserts the slave chip
+  select line.
+
+* Enhanced clock framework supporting parts with the basic_clock+ peripheral
+  and simplifying changing msp430 clock speeds on a per platform or per
+  application basis.
+
+* Support for a number of other chips, including the Silicon Labs
+  [[cp210x]] USB to UART adapters, the Texas Instruments BQ2403x Li Ion/Polymer
+  charge controllers, and the VTI SCP1000-D01 barometric pressure sensor.
+
+* A modularized tos-bsl program that simplifies adding other msp430 boards using
+  different mechanisms to access BSL programming features.  Included is support
+  for boards using the cp2103 and its GPIO pins to effect BSL via USB.
+
+* Support for TMI reference platform design, [[tmicore]].
+
+# About the TMI repository
+
+The TMI TinyOS repository is based upon code from the [official
+repo](http://tinyos-main.googlecode.com/svn/).  The TMI repository contains
+various branches and tags representing current and past work.  Most notably, the
+tags beginning with `patchset/` are clean patches against a given official
+upstream release.
+
+* Current patchset tag: `patchset/2.1.1-4.5`
+* TMI enhancements are based upon the upstream release tag: `tinyos/2.1.1`
+* The commits between the two above tags represent the series of patches in the
+  [latest patchset](/gitweb/?p=tinyos-2.x.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/tags/patchset/2.1.1-4.5).
+
+The TMI TinyOS code requires a GCC 4.4+ based [[msp430]] toolchain.
+
+# Using TMI TinyOS
+
+A complete TinyOS development environment including toolchain is available for
+installation from our [[APT repository|aptrepo]].  Since we only use Ubuntu
+workstations for our internal development, we cannot cost justify maintaining
+packages for Windows or other Linux distributions at this time.
