Firestorm/Synergy
The Storm requires a carrier board that provides power and IO breakout in order to be used. The Firestorm is a reference carrier board that couples a storm along with a bluetooth radio in an arduino-compatible form factor, allowing rapid prototyping. We used this as the hardware for the Synergy stack that provides a userland/kernel split, allowing versatile userlands (such as a Lua interpreter) while still having a low-power asynchronous TinyOS kernel
