Abstract :
A platform for the prototyping of distributed sensing and actuating applications is presented in this paper. By combining a low power FPGA and a System-on-Chip specialized in low power wireless communication, we enabled the development of a large range of smart wireless networks and control systems. Thanks to multiple customization possibilities, the platform can be adapted to specific applications while providing high performance and consuming little energy. We present our approach to design the platform and two application examples showing how it was used in practice in the frame of a research project for adaptronics.
