The firmware for the AvianGPS platform was developed at the Freie Universität Berlin. It supports accessing, processing, storing and transmitting sensor data. The emphasis was put on a design of a simple API for user applications and on reduction of the power consumption. For example the idle time is spent in the LPM3 mode when the AvianGPS V4 device uses only 24,9uA.

The firmware exposes a simple and reusable API what simplifies the application development. The release contains a set of example applications designed for learning purposes.

Remark

The source code of applications used in our 2011 deployments on Skomer Island and their detailed description will be released as soon as the hardware platform becomes available (schedule by Microsoft Reserach).
