TinyOS Role for Ansible

This Ansible role installs TinyOS, nesC and all requirements to compile and install a firmware on sensor nodes. Right now only the MSP430 microcontroller toolchain (e.g. used on the TelosB sensor module) is included as I'm currently using only that one. Open an issue if you need any others.

Requirements

I have tested this role on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS only. Please open an issue and tell me if it's working on other systems as well.

Role Variables

Using the following variables to adust the target directory for the TinyOS / nesC source code:

src_target: '/usr/local/src'
tinyos_src_dir: '{{ src_target }}/tinyos'
nesc_src_dir: '{{ src_target }}/nesc'

Example Playbook

An example how to apply this role and change the install directory at the same time:

- hosts: servers
  become: true

  roles:
     - { role: wedi.tinyos, src_target: ~/My/Working/Directory }

License

This role is released under the terms of the MIT license.
