I read that Tiny OS uses nesC language to build an application whereas Contiki OS uses C-language.
I am just starting to make a project utilizing IRIS motes and my application require multiple arithmetic operations and looping statements. I am familiar with C-language but nesC would be completely new for me (I guess) as its an extension to C-language.
So which platform will be more suitable for such application.
Since you asked this question in the year 2019... IRIS Motes are too old as Tiny OS. They can support only Tiny OS Per se....
Contiki OS needs more memory (RAM and ROM), IRIS motes do not provide that,, so you have to stick to Tiny OS Itself, nesC is easier compared to Contiki OS.
oh thanks for information.
Can you refer any current motes which are designed for such application ?
Zia Askari for your question, consult this paper you find the responses:
Conference Paper A Comparative Study on Operating System for Wireless Sensor Networks
Based on my experience working on a testebed available at https://www.iot-lab.info/hardware/. I can refer this motes that are currently available in the market:
-Atmel SAM R21
-Zolertia Firefly
-Nordic nRF52DK
TinyOS would be preferable for coding IRIS mote. The nesC code can be even ported to Cooja simulator to run simulations as well.
