Debugging Wireless Sensor Network Simulations

Applications for wireless sensor networks are often developed in integrated development environments and tested and debugged in simulators. Since development environments and simulators normally use their own user interface, it is often hard for developers to link a bug found in the simulation to the correct position in the source code. This thesis comes up with a way to debug TinyOS applications that run as a simulation in the COOJA simulator directly in the Yeti development environment. With the possibility to set breakpoints in the nesC source code and to inspect the memory of each simulated mote, we expect that the presented tool increases the productivity of TinyOS application developers.
