Abstract

This thesis presents the design and implementation of a smart home system leveraging the Xilinx Kria FPGA SoC platform, which integrates FPGA flexibility with Arm Cortex processing capabilities. The system architecture incorporates a network of environmental sensors for real-time monitoring, an actuator network for control of home devices, and a security camera to safeguard the premises. The hardware design comprises an FPGA SoC module and a custom transition board, facilitating connectivity and integration with various devices. Firmware development utilized Xilinx Vivado for hardware description and Python for system applications, enabling efficient management of custom logic and communication protocols. The effectiveness of the system was validated through a physical plant model, which demonstrated the system’s capability to manage device activation and temperature regulation accurately. This work contributes a comprehensive framework for enhancing residential automation and security through advanced FPGA-based technologies.
