Abstract: To overcome the limited processing capabilities of many wireless sensor nodes, a powerful new platform is being designed at the Institute of Microelectronic Systems at Technische Universität Darmstadt. The presented master thesis focuses on integrating a dedicated debugging interface with the nodes, increasing the usability of the platform and thus assisting application developers. By connecting deployed devices to a common network, both centralized node control and debugging can be performed. Erroneous node behavior can be tracked to the originating line of code and thus be resolved easily. An intuitive user interface allows inexperienced users to start debugging their applications quickly.
