    VSN Software Platform
    The platform is based on uClinux -http://blackfin.uclinux.org provides an easy-to-use platform for rapid development of vision and general sensor network applications.

    • Written in C language under GPL Open Source
    • Compiled using GNU Blackfin uClinux tool-chains
    • Easily and remotely firmware updated
    • Simple API to access specialised features of the VSN
    • Easy image capture and processing on-board
    • Standardised mechanism for specifying and transmitting application-specific data in a compact form.
    • Built-in interface to BSN nodes - http://vip.doc.ic.ac.uk/bsn/a1892.html for hybrid wireless applications, including TinyOS message support
    • Automatic inter-node time synchronisation and time stamping
    • On-board Python interpreter with bindings to all of the API for on-node rapid development
    • Built on top of Linux, with full access to standard libraries and TCP/IP networking capabilities
