+Sensinode platform example and test applications
+================================================

+by Zach Shelby <zach@sensinode.com>

+cc2431-location-engine, udp-ipv6, broadcast-rime blink-hello, event-post,
+timer-test
+
+This directory contains example and test applications for Sensinode CC2430
+based devices. By default it is set to use the sensinode platform:
+
+/platform/sensinode
+/cpu/cc2430
+
+To build an application:
+
+    make [app_name]
+    make hello_world
+
+To build and upload an application using the Sensinode nano_programmer included
+under /tools (default /dev/ttyUSB0):
+
+    make [app_name].upload
+    make hello_world.upload
+
+To dump the serial port output (default /dev/ttyUSB0):
+
+    make sensinode.serialdump
+
+To configure the hardware model, you can include a make option e.g. for the
+N601 (N100 is assumed by default):
+
+    make hello_world DEFINES=MODEL_N601
+
+These make options are defined in /platform/sensinode/Makefile.sensinode
+
+Descriptions of applications:
+
+- udp-ipv6: UDP client-server example over uIPv6. Uses link-local and global
+  addresses. Button 1 on the client will send an echo request.
+
+- broadcast-rime: Just a broadcast rime example, slightly modified
+
+- sensors: Demonstrating button and ADC functionality
+
+- cc2431-location-engine: Example demonstrating the usage cc2431 location
+  engine (blind node) N.B. Not all sensinode devides have a cc2431
+
+- event-post: Demonstrating the interaction between two processes with custom
+  events
+
+- blink-hello: Hello World with LED blinking.
+
+- timer-test: Same as clock_test above + testing the rtimer-arch code
+
+- border-router: 802.15.4 to SLIP bridge example. The node will forward packets
+  from the 15.4 network to its UART (and thus a connected PC over SLIP)
