Hi all,

I'm new to TinyOS and have some short questions... thanks in advance  
for your help.

I'm mew to TinyOS and I'm trying to implement an IEEE 802.15.4  
interoperable MAC-Headercompression Scheme for the CC2420 radio. (2  
months time left... ;-])

Now:

-I use TinyOS 2.1 that should forward all received packets via SPI-Bus  
to the memory, where my header-compression-scheme can access them and  
modify them, before their headers are blown up to full 802.15.4 format  
and passed on to the next higher layer (or discarded). Right?

-TinyOS 2.1 implements address-checks in software but still requires  
the 15.4 fcf. I can change that right? Since the radio will transmit  
anything in the buffer - no questions asked. (Whether it makes sense,  
that's my part to fix)

-I was wondering if there is some form of comprehensible overview of  
the internal workings of the TinyOS-Radio-Stack. I'm really confused  
by all the files, statemachines, interfaces, implementations and  
precompile directives...
I don't even know where to start programming, let alone which  
interfaces I can reuse or need to redefine...

-Lastly: I'll slip my  HC-mechanism under the Csma-Layer as lowest  
layer in order not to disturb any of the functions running on top...  
that should be the smartest way to do it and guarantee that any higher  
layer works fine (assuming my HC works and passes full 802.15.4.  
Headers up)... any objections, or problems I missed because I'm still  
struggling to grasp how TinyOS works??


Thanks a lot... I know this is kind imprecise, but my next questions  
will be more to the point...

T.K.
