Hi Shanza,
I hope you don't mind me putting this discussion back to the list. Others in
the future may benefit from our discussion.

I don't see a microsecond timer implemented for any tos2 platform. You could
implement it by duplicating how the virtualized millisecond timer works.
TimerMilliC instances eventually wire to HilTimerMilliC, which is the
platform specific implementation. Watch out for side effects, like low power
mode handling, conflicts with other components using hardware you need to do
microsecond timing, etc.

This error means that CounterToLocalTimeC is not wired to a provider of the
Counter interface which it uses. In your app wiring, you need to wire
CounterToLocalTimeC to a component that provides the proper Counter
interface. I haven't tried it, but I think on msp430 platforms the wiring
would be:
components CounterToLocalTimeC(TMicro);
MyApp.LocalTime -> CounterToLocalTimeC;
components Msp430CounterMicroC;
CounterToLocalTime.Counter -> Msp430CounterMicroC;
I expect other platforms would work similarly.
All the best,
Steve
