The Internet of Things is a promise of smarter technologies, with devices working together in a distributed manner, to provide more quality of service in many domains, such as industry, transports, energy, health, etc. Fog/Edge computing is probably one of the most interesting concepts as it will be a means to optimize energy and performance. However, beyond the principle, few works have really demonstrated the real potential of it, as many challenges need to be addressed at different levels: hardware design, software APIs, communication protocols, radio technologies, and so on. In this context, there is a growing interest in reconfigurable devices, as they bridge the gap between performance and energy with the advantage of the hardware flexibility. In this paper, we present a platform with sensor nodes and gateways relying on FPGAs, and showing that reconfigurable devices can be an enabling technology for edge-computing.

“…Their implementation provides methods to model the sensor nodes and the utilized protocols as well as to manipulate the communication channel in order to estimate the bit error rate. Likewise, Zhang et al [ 60 ] presented a simulator that allows to estimate the differences and advantages of executing an algorithm on a low-power microcontroller and in an FPGA. This system allows to define the behaviour of a flexible node (FPGA and microcontroller) that runs TinyOS.…”

In this manuscript, we present a survey of designs and implementations of research sensor nodes that rely on FPGAs, either based upon standalone platforms or as a combination of microcontroller and FPGA. Several current challenges in sensor networks are distinguished and linked to the features of modern FPGAs. As it turns out, low-power optimized FPGAs are able to enhance the computation of several types of algorithms in terms of speed and power consumption in comparison to microcontrollers of commercial sensor nodes. We show that architectures based on the combination of microcontrollers and FPGA can play a key role in the future of sensor networks, in fields where processing capabilities such as strong cryptography, self-testing and data compression, among others, are paramount.
