1 Introduction
This User’s Manual describes the hardware features of the Mote Processor Radio (MPR)
platforms and Mote Interface Boards (MIB) for network base stations and programming
interfaces. It is intended for understanding and leveraging Crossbow’s Smart Dust hardware
design in real-world sensor network, smart RFID, and ubiquitous computing applications. Table
1-1
below lists the models in this Manual.
Table 1-1. This User’s Manual covers these MPR and MIB models.

This Manual is not a software guide to programming the motes in TinyOS/nesC, nor is it a guide
to pre-built software packages that run on top of the Motes. The following two resources are
available regarding software:
