and lets many applications connect to it over a TCP/IP stream in order to use 
that source. For example, you can run a SerialForwarder whose packet source is 
the serial port; instead of connecting to the serial port directly, applications 
connect to the SerialForwarder, which acts as a proxy to read and write packets. 
Since applications connect to SerialForwarder over TCP/IP, applications can 
connect over the Internet. </P>
<P>SerialForwarder is the second kind of packet source. A SerialForwarder source 
has this syntax: </P><PRE>sf@HOST:PORT
</PRE>
<P>HOST and PORT are optional: they default to localhost (the local machine) and 
9002. For example, </P><PRE>[e-mail]:1948
</PRE>
<P>will connect to a SerialForwarder running on the computer 
dark.cs.berkeley.edu and port 1948. </P>
<P>The first step is to run a SerialForwarder; since it takes one packet source 
and exports it as an sf source, it takes a packet source parameter just like the 
other tools we've used so far: you can pass a -comm parameter, use MOTECOM, or 
just rely on the default. Close your MsgReader application so that it no longer 
uses the serial port, and run a SerialForwarder: </P><PRE>java net.tinyos.sf.SerialForwarder
</PRE>
<P>You should see a window like this pop up: </P>

<P>Since SerialForwarder takes any packet source as its source, you can even 
string SerialForwaders along: </P><PRE>java net.tinyos.sf.SerialForwarder -port 9003 -comm sf@localhost:9002
</PRE>
<P>This command opens a second SerialForwarder, whose source is the first 
SerialForwarder. You'll see that the client count of the first one has increased 
to one. It's rare that you'd ever want to do this, but it demonstrates that in 
the message support libraries you can use a variety of packet sources. </P>
<P>Close the second SerialForwarder (the one listening on port 9003). Run 
MsgReader again, but this time tell it to connect to your SerialForwarder: </P><PRE>java net.tinyos.tools.MsgReader -comm sf@localhost:9002 BlinkToRadioMsg
</PRE>
<P>You will see the client count increment, and MsgReader will start printing 
out packets. </P><A name=Packet_Sources></A>

<P>In addition to serial ports and SerialForwarders, the TinyOS messaging 
library supports a third packet source, motes which are connected to an ethernet 
port through a Crossbow MIB 600 ethernet board. This is the full set of packet 
sources: <BR></P>

<P>Code for the Java messaging toolchain lives in two java packages: 
<CODE>net.tinyos.message</CODE> and <CODE>net.tinyos.packet</CODE>. The 
<CODE>packet</CODE> package contains all of the code for packet sources and 
their protocols: it is what reads and writes bytes. The <CODE>message</CODE> 
package is what turns streams of bytes into meaningful messages and provides 
packet source independent classes for communicating with motes. </P>
<P>The key class for sending and receiving packets is <CODE>MoteIF</CODE>. It 
has methods for registering packet listeners (callbacks when a packet arrives) 
and sending packets. The tools <CODE>MsgReader</CODE>, <CODE>Listen</CODE>, and 
<CODE>Send</CODE> are good places to start to learn how to get Java applications 
to communicate with motes. </P>
<P>There is also support for python and C. </P><A

<H1><SPAN class=mw-headline>Sending a packet to the serial port in 
TinyOS</SPAN></H1>
<P>Sending an AM packet to the serial port in TinyOS is very much like sending 
it to the radio. A component uses the AMSend interface, calls 
<CODE>AMSend.send</CODE>, and handles <CODE>AMSend.sendDone</CODE>. The serial 
stack will send it over the serial port regardless of the AM address specified. 
</P>
<P>The TinyOS serial stack follows the same programming model as the radio 
stack. There is a <CODE>SerialActiveMessageC</CODE> for turning the stack on and 
off (mote processors often cannot enter their lowest power state while the 
serial stack is on), and generic components for sending and receiving packets. 
As the serial stack is a dedicated link, however, it does not provide a snooping 
interface, and it does not filter based on the destination address of the 
packet. These are the serial communication components and their radio analogues:

<P>Because serial AM communication has the same interfaces as radio AM 
communication, you can in most situations use them interchangably. For example, 
to make BlinkToRadio send packets to the serial port rather than the radio, all 
you have to do is change the BlinkToRadioAppC configuration: </P>

<P>Now, rather than have BlinkToRadio send packets which a BaseStation recieves 
and forwards to the serial port, the application will send them directly to a 
serial port. Connect a MsgReader to test that this is happening. Note that the 
binary code and data size has changed significantly, as nesC has included the 
serial stack rather than the radio stack. </P><A name=Related_Documentation></A>
