  Platforms

The repository includes ports for several hardware platforms. Drill down for implementation specifics.

• AVR
• mc13224v-based
  • M12 - FCC approved mc13224v module
  • TH12 - Temperature and humidity sensor and development platform
  • Econotags - mc13224v development board with on board JTAG.
• Host Subprocesses (native, minimal-net)
• Java (Cooja motes)
• 8051-Based-Platforms (TI cc2530 DK and Sensinode/cc2430)
• Zolertia-z1-motes (MSP430x2 + CC2420 based)
• TI CC2538 Development Kit, documented in the README under the platform dir

Border-routers and gateways

Some routers and gateways run Contiki and others are simply useful for setting up 6LowPAN networks

• BR12 - embedded Linux based 6LoWPAN router (includes the BRamble 6LoWPAN administration frontend)
• red-IO Contiki-based router. Can run Mist(Nat64/DNS64) or 6lbr(native ipv6 routing)

Also see links to out of tree implementations in the Community section below.

  Community

Projects and enhancements developed by Contiki users, not in the main Contiki tree.

• Some projects are hosted/mirrored in the Contiki Projects repository on SourceForge.

Contiki ports and platforms

• JenniSense NXP/Jennic JN51xx ieee802.15.4 SoC and open hardware schematics
• Contiki-Senslab Contiki port for Senslab nodes, including a CC1101 radio driver
• contiki-avr-zigduino
• contiki-arduino, contiki-arduino-2.2
• contiki-dspic Contiki port for Microchip dsPIC micro-controller (cpu + board support 'platform' for Dangerous Prototypes Web Platform)
• BatMote, a small size, low cost, WSN platform with Contiki support, based on Atmega128RFA1.
• Flexibity Sensors, DIY home sensors platform with Cosm integration based on MC13224V, Contiki and OpenWRT.

Contiki enhancements

• Collection of Cooja and Contiki patches
• Contiki BBS: A simple telnet BBS server for the Commodore 64 homecomputer based on Contiki.
• Minilink: An improved linker for Contiki.
• Migmem: A library to serialize applications and migrate their memory. Bases on the Minilink linker.
• Rudolph1 ported to unicast on top of Mesh
• 6LP-GW Implementation of a 6LoWPAN Neighbor Discovery Proxy gateway.
• 6LoWPAN-ND implementation. An implementation of the Neighbor Discovery Optimization for LLNs (draft-ietf-6lowpan-nd-18) for Contiki.
• 6LBR for RPL: an implementation of a RPL-friendly 6LoWPAN Border Router
• T-Res: a programming abstraction framework enabling re-configurable in-network processing in IoT-based WSNs.

Cooja plugins

• GDBStub for Sky Motes
• CoojaTrace: A framework to trace and log data using Cooja. Extensions are CoojaTracePlot to plot the data in Cooja and CoojaTraceSQLite to log the data to an SQLite database.
• Serial2pty: Creates a real serial device for a virtual mote.
• Mobility COOJA plugin: The Mobility plugin for Cooja allows using a data file with positions over time for the nodes in the simulation.
• Kleenet COOJA project: Integrate Kleenet into Cooja.
• RealSim tries to map a real network to Cooja. Can be used to configure DGRM over time, too.
• Headless Radio Logger: Generate PCAP files in headless mode.

Cooja enhancements

• Collection of Cooja and Contiki patches
• PPA for Ubuntu
• A slider to change the values of the light sensor
• Power Tracker A Cooja plugin that shows a window with the average duty cycle of the Tmote Sky radio. This can be used to measure the power consumption of the network as well as to assess the power overhead of a duty cycling MAC protocol.
• csc2svg extracts the network topology from a csc file and saves it as svg.
• cooja-dbus uses dbus to let external programs control the simulation.

Collect-view

• sky-boards-collect, an extension to contiki-collect-sky-2.5.
