Hello, I am a student at Univ. of Maryland. I wanted to implement some crypto algorithms on the constrained sensor environment to obtain some performance benchmarks. I have been looking at options of different motes to purchase and the corresponding development environments and I am confused with some tradeoffs. It would be very helpful if the community can provide some insight based on the your experience.
I would like to restrict myself to the MSP430 architecture. I narrowed my choices down to the following motes/dev kits, - Telos B by Memsic - CC430 wireless development tool from TI - MSP430F5438 experimenter board by TI - Open to any suggestions of motes/boards The reason I am slightly inclined towards the boards is because they have better specs in terms of RAM and flash. I will need that for the algorithms. However, the development environment is a bit of a concern. TinyOS seems to be ‘the’ choice of the academic community. However, I am not sure of the ports of the TinyOS for the dev boards. TinyProd (* https://github.com/tp-freeforall/prod*<https://github.com/tp-freeforall/prod>) seems to support the chip MSP43F5438A which is on the board. However, the platforms mentioned are MM5 and MoteIST). I would like to know if this would work for the dev board. I am not a hardware expert and was having trouble following the forums in regard to the differences. Perhaps somebody could help clarify this for me Secondly, if I was to use the TI CCS for the programming the boards, how much overhead would this have as compared to the TinyOS environment? Does anybody have any metrics for this? Also, a lot of crypto primitives are available as C implementations in the open source domain. Would these require a lot of changes to be implemented in CCS? I would appreciate any help with this. Thank you Regards Shalabh
