Adam Dunkels on Embedded Sensor Networks

tl writes "netzstaub has posted an extensive interview with Adam Dunkels, a computer scientist working in the field of wireless sensor networks and author of the open source lwIP and uIP embedded TCP/IP stacks, the Contiki OS, and the Protothreads library. The interview touches on protothreads, sensor networks, TCP/IP, Contiki, and embedded software development. Many Slashdot readers probably remember the tiny Contiki OS from previous articles where, not surprisingly, clustering has been discussed. From reading the interview, it seems Contiki clusters now have come true."

That piece of software is great, it uses a lot of interesting tricks to work in such small memory footprint. Adam itself helped me to implement it on mi own pet OS Picix , for te PIC18 microcontrollers, and works very well. It almost fills a 10Base-T card, and the processor is only 8 bit and 40 mhz!
