The Contiki Operating System
============================
Contiki is an open source operating system that runs on tiny low-power
microcontrollers and makes it possible to develop applications that
make efficient use of the hardware while providing standardized
low-power wireless communication for a range of hardware platforms.

Contiki is used in numerous commercial and non-commercial systems,
such as city sound monitoring, street lights, networked electrical
power meters, industrial monitoring, radiation monitoring,
construction site monitoring, alarm systems, remote house monitoring,
and so on.

This fork of the Contiki Operating System adds support for our Merkur
Board, adds a lot of examples (with different hardware) and puts an
Arduino compatibility layer on top of Contiki-OS that allows Arduino
Sketches -- and a lot of drivers for Arduino compatible hardware -- to
run under Contiki-OS.
