Abstract
This paper discusses the requirements, architecture and implementation of an operating system designed for wireless embedded systems powered by energy harvesters (WESPEH). First part of the paper introduces WESPEH and gives an overview of existing thin resource operating systems. It is explained why there is a need for a new operating system. The second part of the paper deals with the new operating system called DolphinAPI which is the first operating system running on the EO3000I HW platform and implementing the EnOcean Radio Protocol Stack. To prove the feasibility of the new operating system TinyOS was also ported to the EO3000I platform. The EnOcean Radio Protocol Stack as a new component was created in TinyOS. The last part of the paper presents the evaluation results comparing the performance of TinyOS to DolphinAPI.
