Welcome to the EmStar Table of Contents.
EmStar Ideas and Code
---------------------
The link:idea/[EmStar Ideas and Code] section contains an overview of
EmStar. It covers the basic ideas behind the design of an EmStar
application as well as the basic ideas behind the design of EmStar
components. Topics include event based programing, FUSD, and code
skeletons for most EmStar components.
EmStar System Services and Deployment Tools
--------------------------------------------
link:em/[Everything Em]: This section covers everything you need to
know to run, simulate, emulate, deploy and debug your EmStar
application. The topics include emrun, emsim, emview, fusdnet, and the
embedded web server.
EmStar Devices
--------------
The components that make up your EmStar application communicate by
creating, writing, and reading devices files. The
link:dev/[EmStar Devices] section covers the libraries that provide
various different semantics on top of the devices files. It includes
discussions of the API's, basic and advanced usage, and code samples.
Everything from status devices and packet devices to sensor devices.
Link Library and Services
-------------------------
The link:link/[Link Library and Services] and built on top of packet
devices. They provide a simpler API with the semantics of the link
layer. Topics include the link user, provider, and passthrough
libraries as well as the udpd, linkstats, and lqe services.
EmStar Misc Libraries
---------------------
The link:misc/[Misc Libraries] that EmStar provides and not only
useful, but necessary when using the device libraries. This section
covers the usage and provides code samples. Topics include including
dynamic buffers with buf_t's, command line parsing, device string
input parsing, and logging.
EmStar Component Services
-------------------------
EmStar provides link:comp_services/[Component Services]: timesync
provides time synchronization, EmTOS provides the ability to run
TinyOS applications as EmStar components, statesync provides an API
for reliable dissemination of state.
Tools to use with EmStar Systems
--------------------------------
Descriptions of some link:tools/[tools] that are useful to use with EmStar systems. These include both third party tools and some that were developed by the EmStar team.
