The Tmote Sky platform is a wireless sensor board from Moteiv.

It is an MSP430-based board with an 802.15.4-compatible CC2420 radio chip, a 1 megabyte external serial flash memory, and two light sensors. Contiki was ported to the Tmote Sky by Bj�rn Gr�nvall as part of the RUNES project. The Tmote Sky port was integrated into the Contiki build system in March 2007.

The platform-specif source code for the Tmote Sky port can be found in the directories platform/sky and cpu/msp430 in the Contiki source tree. Code for writing to the on-chip flash ROM is in the cpu/msp430/flash.c and code for reading and writing to the external flash is the file platform/sky/dev/xmem.c. Code for reading the light sensors is in platform/sky/dev/light.c.

The serial/USB port is read from and written to with either the code in cpu/msp430/dev/uart1.c or platform/sky/slip_uart1.c, depending on weather or not the Tmote Sky is running TCP/IP or not.

There are currently two CC2420 drivers in the Contiki source code, core/dev/simple-cc2420.c (a really simple CC2420 driver) and core/dev/cc2420.c (a more feature-rich CC2420 driver).
