WSN (Wireless Sensor Networks) are considered the sensing technology of the future. Many experimental systems have been designed to create a WSN to collect environment data and accessed via a web-interface. But almost WSN are build on the special technology including the software and hardware. In order to extend the application of WSN, we design a sensor platform based on PowerPC, on which the genral embedded Linux runs.Then the abundant free-software and open-source is introduced into WSN's study.We also present a prototype for data collecting and data publishing for this platform. Especially, we utilize the SVG to release the data dynamically.
