Hello Yves, As for remote updating of firmware, yes that is possible. Have a look at TosBoot together with Deluge T2 (if using AM) or NWProg (if using BLIP). I personally have only used NWProg, and it works well for us (custom hardware though, can't say anything about the standard motes).
In terms of "apps", you might want to read up on TosThreads. While I've never used it myself, it might provide the type of framework you're looking for. I seem to recall reading something about it being designed to support easier loading of new firmware. All in all, http://docs.tinyos.net is your friend :) Cheers, /Johny On 24 February 2012 02:40, Yves S.
