CCBee is TI CC430F5137 based radio module that fits into XBee PRO socket. It has UART and SPI interface for sending and receiving data.

Schematic and PCB are designed using EAGLE. This is 2 layer design. 50 Ohm lines are calculated for board thickness 1 mm and copper 35 um. Calculations are done with AppCAD. Another good tool for calculating lines is TX-Line. If your board thickness will be different, calculate new values using AppCAD "Coplanar Waveguide".

For toolchain installation follow instructions from: http://tinyprod.net/repos/debian-dev/

Install TinyOS source:

cd ~/
git clone git://github.com/tp-freeforall/prod.git tinyos-prod

Setup environment variables. Create file called ~/tinyos-prod/tinyos-env.sh

# Here we setup the environment
# variables needed by the TinyOS 
# make system

if [ $# -eq 0 ]
then
    echo "ERROR: TinyOS path not specified as first argument!"
    exit 1
else
    ROOT_DIR=$1

    echo "Setting up for: $ROOT_DIR"
    export TOSROOT=
    export TOSDIR=
    export MAKERULES=

    TOSROOT=$ROOT_DIR
    TOSDIR="$TOSROOT/tos"
    CLASSPATH=$TOSROOT/support/sdk/java/:$TOSROOT/support/sdk/java/tinyos.jar:.:$CLASSPATH
    MAKERULES="$TOSROOT/support/make/Makerules"

    export TOSROOT
    export TOSDIR
    export CLASSPATH
    export MAKERULES
fi

Now add this to your ~/.bashrc file:

source ~/tinyos-prod/tinyos-env.sh ~/tinyos-prod/

Here you can find more detailed instructions.

Get platform files. Put this repository somewhere you like, for example to home:

cd ~/
git clone git://github.com/andresv/ccbee.git

Create symlinks to platform files:

ln -s ~/ccbee/software/tinyos/ccbee.target ~/tinyos-prod/support/make
ln -s ~/ccbee/software/tinyos/ccbee ~/tinyos-prod/tos/platforms

Now it is possible to compile TinyOS apps for ccbee. Try it!

cd ~/tinyos-prod/apps/Blink
make ccbee
