Abstract

A sensor platform is a station equipped with extensive sensor and communication systems, which provide space based detection and alert capabilities. It consists of low-power, embedded computing devices known as motes, which use sensors to collect measurements from the physical world and its inhabitants. In this paper, an ARM-based sensor platform running a Linux Operating System is designed and implemented on a Xilinx Virtex-5 FPGA board. The AMBA system will be used as the bus architecture, with the ARM9TDM as the processor, SRAM as memory device, and Ethernet, LCD, UART, and PS/2 as peripherals. With the FPGA running a Linux Operating System, the sensor platform can extend its functionality and have a better performance.
