[Smac-users] Some change for micaz

[Wei Ye]

I'm glad you've tried to port S-MAC to MicaZ. At this time, I can only
give you some high-level advice on your code.

1) Try NOT to change SMACM. The porting should only happen at the
physical layer, e.g., the PhyRadioM and RadioControlM. So if there is
any future changes in SMACM, all platform will get the changes.

2) Current S-MAC does not require or use TimerM. Instead, it uses the
ClockSMAC component to provide the clock signal of 1ms/tick. If the CPU
clock speed on MicaZ is the same as that on Mica2 (and I think it is),
you can directly copy the file from platform/mica2/ to platform/micaz/.

3) If possible, don't change TimerM. I think you modified it from the
default TinyOS directory tinyos-1.x/tos/system/. This is for the same
reason as SMACM.

BTW, I subscribed you to smac-users mailing list. This message is also
CC'ed to the list.

Regards,
Wei
