  13. sensors actuators storage network Characteristics of Network Sensors • Small physical size and low power consumption • Concurrency-intensive operation • multiple flows, not wait-command-respond • Limited Physical Parallelism and Controller Hierarchy • primitive direct-to-device interface • Diversity in Design and Usage • application specific, not general purpose • huge device variation => efficient modularity => migration across HW/SW boundary • Robust Operation • numerous, unattended, critical => narrow interfaces

  14. A Operating System for Tiny Devices? • Main Concept • HURRY UP AND SLEEP!! • Sleep as often as possible to save power • provide framework for concurrency and modularity • Commands, events, tasks • interleaving flows, events - never poll, never block • Separation of construction and composition • Programs are built out of components • Libraries and components are written in nesC. • Applications are too -- just additional components composed with the OS components • Each component is specified by an interface • Provides “hooks” for wiring components together • Components are statically wired together based on their interfaces • Increases runtime efficiency

  15. Programming TinyOs • A component provides and uses interfaces. • A interface defines a logically related set of commands and events. • Components implement the events they use and the commands they provide: • There are two types of components in nesC: • Modules. It implements application code. • Configurations. It assemble other components together, called wiring • A component does not care if another component is a module or configuration • A component may be composed of other components via configurations

  16. uses provides CommControl ReceiveMsg StdControl SendMsg ForwarderM Leds Component Syntax - Module • A component specifies a set of interfaces by which it is connected to other components • provides a set of interfaces to others • uses a set of interfaces provided by others module ForwarderM { provides { interface StdControl; } uses { interface StdControl as CommControl; interface ReceiveMsg; interface SendMsg; interface Leds; } } implementation { …// code implementing all provided commands and used events }

  17. configuration Forwarder { } implementation { components Main, LedsC; components GenericComm as Comm; components ForwarderM; Main.StdControl -> ForwarderM.StdControl; ForwarderM.CommControl -> Comm; ForwarderM.SendMsg -> Comm.SendMsg[AM_INTMSG]; ForwarderM.ReceiveMsg -> Comm.ReceiveMsg[AM_INTMSG]; ForwarderM.Leds -> LedsC; } Component Selection Wiring the Components together uses provides StdControl CommControl ReceiveMsg GenericComm Main StdControl SendMsg ReceiveMsg StdControl SendMsg ForwarderM Leds LedsC Leds Component Syntax - Configuration Forwarder

  18. Configuration Wires • A configuration can bind an interface user to a provider using ->or <- • User.interface ->Provider.interface • Provider.interface <-User.interface • Bounce responsibilities using = • User1.interface =User2.interface • Provider1.interface =Provider2.interface • The interface may be implicit if there is no ambiguity • e.g., User.interface ->Provider  User.interface -> Provider.interface

  19. Interface Syntax- interface StdControl • Look in <tos>/tos/interfaces/StdControl.nc • Multiple components may provide and use this interface • Every component should provide this interface • This is good programming technique, it is not a language specification interface StdControl { // Initialize the component and its subcomponents. command result_t init(); // Start the component and its subcomponents. command result_t start(); // Stop the component and pertinent subcomponents command result_t stop(); }

  20. Interface Syntax- interface SendMsg • Look in <tos>/tos/interfaces/SendMsg.nc • Includes both command and event. • Split the task of sending a message into two parts, send and sendDone. includes AM; // includes AM.h located in <tos>\tos\types\ interface SendMsg { // send a message command result_t send(uint16_t address, uint8_t length, TOS_MsgPtr msg); // an event indicating the previous message was sent event result_t sendDone(TOS_MsgPtr msg, result_t success); }

  21. Component implementation module ForwarderM { //interface declaration } implementation { command result_t StdControl.init() { call CommControl.init(); call Leds.init(); return SUCCESS; } command result_t StdControl.start() {…} command result_t StdControl.stop() {…} eventTOS_MsgPtr ReceiveMsg.receive(TOS_MsgPtr m) { call Leds.yellowToggle(); call SendMsg.send(TOS_BCAST_ADDR, sizeof(IntMsg), m); return m; } event result_t SendMsg.sendDone(TOS_MsgPtr msg, bool success) { call Leds.greenToggle(); return success; } } Command implementation (interface provided) Event implementation (interface used)

  22. TinyOS Commands and Events { ... status =callCmdName(args) ... } commandCmdName(args) { ... return status; } event EvtName)(args) { ... return status; } { ... status =signalEvtName(args) ... }

  23. TinyOs Concurrency Model • TinyOS executes only one program consisting of a set of components. • Two type threads: • Task • Hardware event handler • Tasks: • Time flexible • Longer background processing jobs • Atomic with respect to other tasks (single threaded) • Preempted by event • Hardware event handlers • Time critical • Shorter duration (hand off to task if need be) • Interrupts task and other hardware handler. • Last-in first-out semantics (no priority among events) • executed in response to a hardware interrupt

  24. Tasks • Provide concurrency internal to a component • longer running operations • Scheduling: • Currently simple FIFO scheduler • Bounded number of pending tasks • When idle, shuts down node except clock • Uses non-blocking task queue data structure • Simple event-driven structure + control over complete application/system graph • instead of complex task priorities and IPC { ... post TaskName(); ... } task void TaskName { ... }

  25. Tasks events commands Interrupts Hardware TinyOS Execution Contexts • Events generated by interrupts preempt tasks • Tasks do not preempt tasks • Both essential process state transitions

  26. Event-Driven Sensor Access Pattern command result_t StdControl.start() { return call Timer.start(TIMER_REPEAT, 200); } event result_t Timer.fired() { return call sensor.getData(); } event result_t sensor.dataReady(uint16_t data) { display(data) return SUCCESS; } SENSE LED Photo Timer • clock event handler initiates data collection • sensor signals data ready event • data event handler calls output command • device sleeps or handles other activity while waiting • conservative send/ack at component boundary

  27. Lecture Overview • 1. Hardware Primer • 2. Introduction to TinyOS • 3. NesC Syntax • 4.Network Communication

  28. Inter-Node Communication • General idea: • Sender: • Receiver: Determine when message buffer can be reused Fill message buffer with data Specify Recipients Pass buffer to OS OS obtains free buffer to store next message OS Buffers incoming message in a free buffer Signal application with new message

  29. Preamble Sync Header (5) Payload (29) CRC (2) TOS Active Messages • Message is “active” because it contains the destination address, group ID, and type. • ‘group’: group IDs create a virtual network • an 8 bit value specified in <tos>/apps/Makelocal • The address is a 16-bit value specified by “make” • – make install.<id> mica2 • “length” specifies the size of the message . • “crc” is the check sum typedef struct TOS_Msg { // the following are transmitted uint16_t addr; uint8_t type; uint8_t group; uint8_t length; int8_t data[TOSH_DATA_LENGTH]; uint16_t crc; // the following are not transmitted uint16_t strength; uint8_t ack; uint16_t time; uint8_t sendSecurityMode; uint8_t receiveSecurityMode; } TOS_Msg;

  30. TOS Active Messages (continue)

  31. includes Int16Msg; module ForwarderM { //interface declaration } implementation { event TOS_MsgPtr ReceiveMsg.receive(TOS_MsgPtr m) { call Leds.yellowToggle(); call SendMsg.send(TOS_BCAST_ADDR, sizeof(IntMsg), m); return m; } event result_t SendMsg.sendDone(TOS_MsgPtr msg, bool success) { call Leds.greenToggle(); return success; } } destination length File: Int16Msg.h struct Int16Msg { uint16_t val; }; enum { AM_INTMSG = 47 }; Sending a message • Define the message format • Define a unique active message number • How does TOS know the AM number? configuration Forwarder { } implementation { … ForwarderM.SendMsg -> Comm.SendMsg[AM_INTMSG]; ForwarderM.ReceiveMsg -> Comm.ReceiveMsg[AM_INTMSG]; }

  32. includes Int16Msg; module ForwarderM { //interface declaration } implementation { event TOS_MsgPtr ReceiveMsg.receive(TOS_MsgPtr m) { call Leds.yellowToggle(); call SendMsg.send(TOS_BCAST_ADDR, sizeof(IntMsg), m); return m; } event result_t SendMsg.sendDone(TOS_MsgPtr msg, bool success) { call Leds.greenToggle(); return success; } } Message received File: Int16Msg.h struct Int16Msg { uint16_t val; }; enum { AM_INTMSG = 47 }; Receiving a message • Define the message format • Define a unique active message number • How does TOS know the AM number? configuration Forwarder { } implementation { … ForwarderM.SendMsg -> Comm.SendMsg[AM_INTMSG]; ForwarderM.ReceiveMsg -> Comm.ReceiveMsg[AM_INTMSG]; }

  34. Preamble Sync Header (5) Payload (29) CRC (2) Spi bus interrupt handler • Connection between Chipcon CC1000 radio and the ATmega128 processor: SPI bus. • Spibus interrupt handler: SpiByteFifo.dataReady() • SpiByteFifo.dataReady() will be called every 8 ticks. file:CC1000RadioIntM.nc async event result_t SpiByteFifo.dataReady(uint8_t data_in) { … switch (RadioState) { case RX_STATE: {...} case DISABLED_STATE: {…} case IDLE_STATE: {...} case PRETX_STATE: {...} case SYNC_STATE: {...} case RX_STATE: {...} return SUCCESS; }

  35. Preamble Sync Header (5) Payload (29) CRC (2) Receiving a message (1) • IDLE_STATE SYNC_STATE • Listen to the preamble, if the enough bytes of preamble are received, entering SYCN_STATE file:CC1000RadioIntM.nc async event result_t SpiByteFifo.dataReady(uint8_t data_in) { … switch (RadioState) { … case IDLE_STATE: { if (((data_in == (0xaa)) || (data_in == (0x55)))) { PreambleCount++; if (PreambleCount > CC1K_ValidPrecursor) { PreambleCount = SOFCount = 0; RxBitOffset = RxByteCnt = 0; usRunningCRC = 0; rxlength = MSG_DATA_SIZE-2; RadioState = SYNC_STATE; } } } … }

  36. Preamble Sync Header (5) Payload (29) CRC (2) Receiving a message (2) • SYNC_STATE  RX_STATE • look for a SYNC_WORD (0x33cc). • Save the last received byte and current received byte • Use a bit shift compare to find the byte boundary for the sync byte • Retain the shift value and use it to collect all of the packet data • SYNC_STATE  IDLE_STATE • didn't find the SYNC_WORD after a reasonable number of tries, so set the radio state back to idel: • RadioState = IDLE_STATE; file:CC1000RadioIntM.nc async event result_t SpiByteFifo.dataReady(uint8_t data_in) { … switch (RadioState) { case SYNC_STATE: … { if ( find SYCN_WORD) { … RadioState = RX_STATE; } else if ( too many preamble) { … RadioState = IDLE_STATE; } } … }

  37. Preamble Sync Header (5) Payload (29) CRC (2) Receiving a message (3) • RX_STATE IDLE_STATE/SENDING_ACK • Keep receiving bytes and calculate CRC until the end of the packet. • The end of the packet are specified by the length in the packet header • Pass the message to the application layer, no matter whether the message passed the CRC check file:CC1000RadioIntM.nc async event result_t SpiByteFifo.dataReady(uint8_t data_in) { … switch (RadioState) { … case RX_STATE: { …RxByteCnt++; if (RxByteCnt <= rxlength) { usRunningCRC = crcByte(usRunningCRC,Byte); if (RxByteCnt == HEADER_LENGTH_OFFSET) { rxlength = rxbufptr->length;} } else if (RxByteCnt == CRCBYTE_OFFSET) { if (rxbufptr->crc == usRunningCRC) { rxbufptr->crc = 1; } else { rxbufptr->crc = 0; } … RadioState = IDLE_STATE; post PacketRcvd(); } …

  38. Error Detection – CRC • CRC – Cyclic Redundancy Check • Polynomial cods or checksums • Procedure: 1. Let r be the degree of the code polynomial. Append r zero bits to the end of the transmitted bit string. Call the entire bit string S(x) 2. Divide S(x) by the code polynomial using modulo 2 division. 3. Subtract the remainder from S(x) using modulo 2 subtraction. • The result is the checksummed message

  39. Step 2: Modulo 2 divide 1011 101 101100 101 001 000 010 000 100 101 01 Step 1: Compute S(x) r = 2 S(x) = 101100 Step 3: Modulo 2 subtract the remainder from S(x) 101100 - 01 101101 Checksummed Message Remainder Generating a CRC – example • Message: 1011 • 1 * x3 + 0 * x2 + 1 * x + 1= x3 + x + 1 • Code Polynomial: x2+ 1 (101)

  40. Case 1: 1001 101 101101 101 001 000 010 000 101 101 00 Case 2: 1000 101 101001 101 000 000 000 000 001 000 01 Checksummed message (n=6): 101101 1011 Original message Remainder = 0 (No error detected) Remainder = 1 (Error detected) Decoding a CRC – example • Procedure 1. Let n be the length of the checksummed message in bits 2. Divide the checksummed message by the code polynomial using modulo 2 division. If the remaidner is zero, there is no error detected.

  41. Example: 10… 10001 0000 0010 0001 10110110110110110110110110110100 10001000000100001 01111101100101111 00000000000000000 11111011001011111 … CRC in TinyOS • Calculate the CRC byte by byte crc=0x0000; while (more bytes) { crc=crc^b<<8; calculate the high byte of crc } • Code Polynomial: CRC-CCITT 0x1021 = 0001 0000 0010 0001 x16 + x12 + x5 + 1 file: system/crc.h uint16_t crcByte(uint16_t crc, uint8_t b) { uint8_t i; crc = crc ^ b << 8; i = 8; do if (crc & 0x8000) crc = crc << 1 ^ 0x1021; else crc = crc << 1; while (--i); return crc; }
