dear sake,

Actually TinyOS is an OS for Sensor motes and communicate via wireless link which the protocol is 802.15.4
In addition, nodes should be connected to PC with USB port but the problem is Wireshark cannot detect it since it uses different packet format. 
I have search a lot and have found out that I need to use socket programming to connect TinyOS to a socket and then to Wireshark.If you have any idea I will appreciate any help.

Thank you in advanced for your time

Best regard,

Hamidreza

I found out that wireshark is so great and powerful so  I installed it on ubuntu. the problem however is that I cannot capture tinyos packets because the packet is not an IP one. So I am wondering how is it possible to do that.

Wireshark supports many quite a few non-IP protocols. I have checked the tinyos website for a bit, but I can't seem to quickly find any information on the way tinyos systems communicate.

Could you tell over what kind of link tinyos communicates (Ethernet, Serial, USB, etc)? Do you know what kind of protocol is spoken over the link or do you have a link to more information on the used protocols?

Cheers,


Sake
