Dear Prof Welsh,
It is nice to see that you are getting encouraging results in porting
TinyOS to Mac OS X :-) I have tried to do it multiple times in the
past. I also followed existing postings by the people that were
successful in doing so. But I couldn't do a successful port. May be
it's because of my lack of knowledge of TinyOS dependencies, or Mac OS
portability issues, or both.
I know that there many other folks like me. If you could kindly post
your experiences, that would be great! I will give it an another try
:-)
Thanks and good luck,
- Vinayak

Quick update:
I have checked in a small change to tools/src/sf/sfsource.c
that allows the C-based Serial Forwarder to work on MacOS.
Onto getting the Java tools to talk to it (possibly by excising
the dependency on javax.comm). Has anyone tried TOSComm on MacOS?

OK, so this would be the TOSComm equivalent for Tinyos 2.x.

Indeed. Does the C-based SF work on TinyOS 2.x?
