In order to efficiently utilize the limited resources available on a sensor node, we need to optimize its key design parameters which is only possible by making system-level design decisions about its hardware and software (operating system and applications) architecture. In this paper, we present the design of a sensor node development platform in relation to an application of wireless integrated sensor networks for sow monitoring. We also discuss the related hardware/software codesign tradeoffs." }
