Abstract

In Ubiquitous computing small embedded sensor and computing nodes are one of the main enabling technologies. System programming for such small embedded systems is a challenging task involving various hardware components with different characteristics. This paper presents a file system for sensor nodes platforms providing a common organization structure and a lightweight and uniform access model for sensors and all other resources on sensor nodes. This mechanism forms an abstraction from different hardware, makes functions re-useable and simplifies the development on such systems. With ParticleFS an file system implementation on a sensor node platform is shown. As an example a telnet application running on sensor nodes was implemented demonstrating the usage of the approach for system programming on such platforms.
