Winter: A Novel Low Power Modular Platform for Wearable and IoT Applications

This paper presents a new multi-purpose, ultra-low power device designed to cope with the typical limitations of commercial IoT platforms. The device can be used both as (1) a stand-alone system, with embedded sensing, data processing, storage and communication capabilities, and as (2) a motherboard for miniaturized expansion boards, which can be plugged on its top to enhance the basic features. The paper also provides the performances of the system, as well as a use case in an IoT context.
