About LiteOS

LiteOS is a UNIX-like operating system that fits on memory-constrained motes such as MicaZ and IRIS. This operating system allows you to operate wireless sensor

networks like operating Unix, which is easier for people with adequate Unix background. LiteOS provides a familiar programming environment based on

UNIX, threads, and C. Its programming is not event-driven. We hope that this approach could help simplify sensor network programming.
