examples/default
================
This application is a showcase for RIOT's hardware support. Using it
for your board, you should be able to interactively use any hardware
that is supported.
To do this, the application uses the `shell` and `shell_commands`
modules and all the driver modules each board supports.
`shell` is a very simple interactive command interpreter that can be
used to call functions. Many of RIOT's modules define some generic
shell commands. These are included via the `shell_commands` module.
Additionally, the `ps` module which provides the `ps` shell command is
included.
Finally, in order for the shell to receive input, the `uart0` module
is used.
Usage
=====
Build, flash and start the application:
```
export BOARD=your_board
make
make flash
make term
```
The `term` make target starts a terminal emulator for your board. It
connects to a default port so you can interact with the shell, usually
that is `/dev/ttyUSB0`. If your port is named differently, the
`PORT=/dev/yourport` variable can be used to override this.
Example output
==============
The shell commands come with online help. Call `help` to see which commands
exist and what they do.
Running the `help` command on an msba2:

RIOT specific
=============
The `id` command sets or gets the node's id. It can be used to
identify a node. Boards that support the `config` module will write
the id to a persistent memory location so the node keeps it across
reboots.
The `ps` command is used to analyze the thread's state and memory
status.
Networking
