|<li><strong>Tmote Sky.</strong> D-Cube embeds 48 [https://www.advanticsys.com/shop/mtmcm5000msp-p-14.html Advanticsys MTM-CM5000-MSP motes]: IEEE 802.15.4-compliant wireless sensor nodes based on the original open-source TelosB (Tmote Sky) platform design developed and published by the University of California, Berkeley ([https://insense.cs.st-andrews.ac.uk/files/2013/04/tmote-sky-datasheet.pdf datasheet]). Based on the MSP430 microcontroller and the IEEE 802.15.4-compliant Texas Instruments CC2420 radio transceiver, the Berkeley motes have been driving wireless sensor networks and IoT research for the past 15 years, and a large number of low-power wireless protocols have been ported and tested on this platform. </li><br/>

|<li><strong>nRF52840.</strong> D-Cube embeds 48 [https://www.nordicsemi.com/Software-and-Tools/Development-Kits/nRF52840-DK Nordic Semiconductors nRF52840-DK nodes]: versatile single-board development kits for Bluetooth 5, Bluetooth mesh, Thread, Zigbee, 802.15.4, ANT, and 2.4 GHz proprietary applications ([https://www.nordicsemi.com/-/media/DocLib/Other/User_Guides/nRF52840DKUserGuidev13pdf.pdf datasheet]). Based on an ARM Cortex-M4 with floating point support, the nRF52840 is one of the new-generation IoT platforms and has received attention from the low-power wireless community thanks to its support for multiple radio technologies (including BLE 5).</li><br/>
