You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''TinyOS''' is an embedded, component-based [[operating system]] and platform for low-power wireless devices, such as those used in [[wireless sensor network]]s (WSNs), [[smartdust]], [[ubiquitous computing]], [[personal area network]]s, [[building automation]], and [[smart meter]]s. It is written in the [[programming language]] nesC, as a set of cooperating tasks and processes. It began as a collaboration between the [[University of California, Berkeley]], [[Intel Research]], and [[Crossbow Technology]], was released as [[free and open-source software]] under a [[BSD licenses|BSD license]], and has since grown into an international consortium, the [[TinyOS Alliance]].

TinyOS has been used in space, being implemented in [[ESTCube-1]].

==Implementation==

TinyOS applications are written in the programming language [[nesC]], a dialect of the [[C (programming language)|C language]] optimized for the memory limits of sensor networks. Its supplementary tools are mainly in the form of [[Java (programming language)|Java]] and [[shell script]] front-ends. Associated libraries and tools, such as the nesC compiler and [[Atmel AVR]] binutils toolchains, are mostly written in C.

TinyOS programs are built of [[component-based software engineering|software components]], some of which present hardware abstractions. Components are connected to each other using [[interface (computer science)|interfaces]]. TinyOS provides interfaces and components for common abstractions such as packet communication, routing, sensing, actuation and storage.

TinyOS is fully [[Asynchronous I/O|non-blocking]]: it has one [[call stack]]. Thus, all [[input/output]] (I/O) operations that last longer than a few hundred [[microsecond]]s are asynchronous and have a [[Callback (computer science)|callback]]. To enable the native [[compiler]] to better optimize across call boundaries, TinyOS uses nesC's features to link these callbacks, called events, statically. While being non-blocking enables TinyOS to maintain high concurrency with one stack, it forces programmers to write complex logic by stitching together many small event handlers. To support larger computations, TinyOS provides tasks, which are similar to a [[Deferred Procedure Call]] and [[interrupt handler]] bottom halves. A TinyOS component can post a task, which the OS will schedule to run later. Tasks are non-[[Preemption (computing)|preemptive]] and run in [[FIFO (computing and electronics)|first in, first out]] order. This simple [[Concurrency (computer science)|concurrency]] model is typically sufficient for I/O centric applications, but its difficulty with CPU-heavy applications has led to developing a [[Thread (computer science)|thread]] library for the OS, named TOSThreads. TOSThreads are unmaintained and have been deprecated.<ref>((cite web |title=TinyOS development repository TOSThreads deprecated |url=https://github.com/tp-freeforall/prod/tree/2308921ea2f2a1d48abb24c115a7691e1e400140/deprecated |website=TinyOS current development repository |access-date=3 December 2018))</ref>

TinyOS code is statically linked with program code and is compiled into a small binary, using a custom [[GNU toolchain]]. Associated utilities are provided to complete a development platform for working with TinyOS.
