Hey Markus,

The reason why I have only checked in the micaz version of the cc2420x
stack is that the telos timer subsystem must be reconfigured
"significantly" in order for the microsecond timestamping to work.
Specifically, we have to make sure two things: a) the SPI bus is fast
enough to download from/upload to the FIFO in real time, and b) that
the SFD is captured by the microsecond counter (vs. the asynchronous
32khz counter).

I have the code for this in tinyos-2.x-contrib/vu. Specifically, the
code that configures the timer subsystem in is tos/msp430, and the
altered timer map is in platforms/telosa.

RADIO_ALARM_MICROSEC can safely be set to 1, since the mote runs close
to 4MHz, which when prescaled by 4 will give a microsecond timer (and
alarm, therefore). For the same reason, RADIO_ALARM_MILLI_EXP  should
be set to 10.
