I've been into a project for evaluating the performance of a wireless sensor network. I need to work with TinyOS 1.x and nesC. Also I need to install TOSSIM simulator. I'm using Ubuntu 10.04. Is there a way to get it?
I recently went through this myself. There's a lot of different installation instructions for TinyOS 1.x, and many of them are out of date or run into issues--source packages needing patches, etc.
This is the guide I found that worked: GEMS TinyOS 1.x Ubuntu Guide
Of course, the TinyOS 1.x CVS has been taken down, I think, so instead of grabbing CVS source, take the latest tarball (1.1.15) from here: TinyOS 1.x Source Distribution
Good luck!
P.S. If those don't work, there's the XubunTOS vmware image, which is built for TOS2.x, but still has most of the TOS1.x system in place and available. XubunTOS VMWare Image
