For me (and a couple of other people), there are a lot of benefits.

There is a lot of existing software made for sensor-nodes working with
TinyOS. Also our project-partners are familiar programming inside TinyOS
- not okl4. The goal is - to get a secure operating system on these
nodes and I do not agree that okl4 can not be used inside these nodes.
Everyone should have the possibility to choose either he want to use
TinyOS - or our "secured node" solution - without additional work for them.

Right now we have the choice of two possible hardware-solutions. One
with an ARM9 core and one with an PXA271 core. Both solutions have
enough memory (with MMU) and cpu-power to work with okl4 - and as far as
I know, there is already done a lot of work with okl4 and the ARM9/PXA
XScale cpu. Using okl4 should be possible.

Anyway - nice to hear your opinion that it should be possible to port
TinyOS to get it working on top of okl4.

More comments are very welcome. :-)
