Programming Guides

This document covers the different components of the MOS system and how to use them.




The three main components of MOS are the COM Layer, DEV Layer, and NET Layer. The DEV layer provides a consistent interface for accessing peripheral devices such as sensors, flash, and so on. The COM Layer provides a consistent interface to communications devices, such as the the radio and serial lines. The NET Layer allows network protocols to be abstracted away from program logic; multiple routing protocols can be registered and implemented using the NET interface.

For more information and examples see:

• COM Layer - Radio & Serial Communication
• DEV Layer - Device Driver Interfaces
• NET Layer? - Network Protocols
• System Management - Threading, power modes, timing, etc.

Note that the above links are not necessarily comprehensive. Additional and more detailed information on the functions and structures for each interface can be found in the Current API Documentation (stable, svn).
