SensorOS: Cross-platform Operating System for Sensor Networks

SensorOS is an operating system targeted at sensor networks and was developed in C++ based on the TinyOS operating system. It was designed to encompass many of the useful patterns and abstractions in TinyOS, but have a focus on compatibility between different development environments, easy portability between said environments and better structure for networking (including explicit support for multiple data-link layers).

Programming Manual

The SensorOS Programming Manual gives a good overview of the motivations behind SensorOS, its goals and detailed information about how you can create applications for SensorOS and port it to different hardware platforms.
