LiteOS is an open source, interactive, UNIX-like operating system designed for wireless sensor networks. With the tools that come with LiteOS, you can operate one or more wireless sensor networks in a Unix-like manner, transferring data, installing programs, retrieving results, or configuring sensors. You can also develop programs for nodes, and wirelessly distribute such programs to sensor nodes. 

The LiteOS 2.1 is the latest version of LiteOS. It runs on the following platforms: Windows XP/Vista/7, MicaZ or IRIS as target board, and MIB510/MIB520 as programming boards. Unlike 1.0, LiteOS 2.1 is closely integrated with AVR Studio 5.0. This brings multiple advantages, such as IDE editing, debugging, and built-in JTAG support.  

Funding acknowledgement: The LiteOS Project is currently supported by NSF grant CNS-0953238, NSF grant CNS-0626342, and Vodafone Fellowship (2007-2009).
