nesc language introduction. nesC is an extension to C [2] designed to embody the structuring concepts and execution model of TinyOS [1]. TinyOS is an event-driven operating system designed for sensor network nodes that have very limited resources (e.g., 8K bytes of program memory, 512 bytes of RAM). TinyOS has been reimplemented in nesC. This manual describes v1.1 of nesC, changes from v1.0 are summarised in Section 3.
