Complexity is increasing abruptly in the IVI market, while TTM has decreased from 5 to 2-3 years over a few product generations. The entire ecosystem is moving from a close to an open system model, and from proprietary/close source to standard interfaces/open source components. NXP is committed to support you in this new reality, as well as providing help in leveraging the extensive BOM NXP typically has in IVI solutions. Through the IVI Platform, NXP offers a solid and complete base for fast product development, integrating productized and optimized BSP and middleware components, with out of the box security. Find out more during a one hour presentation, covering platform features, delivery mechanisms, roadmap and availability.

Secure designs begin with a security model consisting of policies, an understanding of the threat landscape and the methods used to enforce physical and logical security. To protect firmware execution given today’s threat landscape, there must be a policy to only allow execution of authenticated firmware. The methods used to enforce this policy rely on MCU security technology to create a protected boot flow. The boot firmware can contain public key cryptography to authenticate application code. In addition to these components integrated in the end device, there are tools and steps that must be taken in the manufacturing environment. Join this session to explore the design and implementation of a secure boot by making use of the Arm® mbed TLS open source software and protect against firmware attacks. This class will use the recently launched K32W (K3S) for the hands-on portion.

This session introduces the MCUXpresso suite of tools (IDE, SDK, Config Tools) and shows users how to rapidly start development with thousands of Kinetis and LPC MCUs. Using either Kinetis, LPC or i.MX RT development hardware, attendees will watch how to build a custom SDK, configure pins and clocks settings, generate a project, import and debug an application, as well as the advanced debugging capabilities of the MCUXpresso IDE, including trace, profiling, coverage, watch points and more.

Bluetooth speakers and headsets, printers, cameras, projectors, set-top-boxes, TVs, Wi-Fi routers and a variety of home appliances like fridges, washing machines, air purifiers, coffee machines, blenders all have one thing in common: Near Field Communication (NFC) allows new features and easier handling. Just bringing two NFC-enabled devices close together is all it takes to create a connection. Accessories and consumables can be authenticated and configured without any user interaction, and without power supply. And commissioning an IOT node into a wireless network has never been as easy as it is now with NFC. We will share the latest status of NFC support in iOS and present the brand new NFC Tandem module.

The NFC market is exploding - ABI Research forecasts more than 2 billion NFC-enabled devices to shipped yearly by 2019. While the first product generations focused on standards and reading distance, the newest products also allow for fast design-in and certification thanks to features such as Dynamic Power Control, microcontroller integration or energy harvesting. Today we see three full NFC product categories to adress the growing number of use cases: (1) Connected NFC tag solutions with field-detection function and an NFC Forum-compliant RF or an I²C interface, (2) standalone NFC frontend solutions for the most flexible way to add NFC to a system and (3) NFC controller solutions to enable higher integration by combining an NFC frontend with an advanced 32-bit microcontroller, available with integrated firmware.

Automotive Ethernet PHYs enable future driving scenarios by providing the necessary physical throughput power. While software brings added value for security, diagnosis, energy efficiency and safety. As the functional requirements for automotive PHY drivers differ from general purpose applications, additional functionality is needed to closely monitor and diagnose the device and to create advanced use cases like Layer-1 wake-up and sleep. In this session, these specific requirements for automotive Ethernet PHY SW are discussed. Existing PHY SW frameworks such as Linux or AUTOSAR are introduced and compared. Finally, the session will touch upon typical application scenarios which require interaction with PHY SW. This includes use cases like gPTP time synchronization and 802.1X Port-based Network Access Control (PNAC).

This session will examine the semiconductor devices that are needed for creating a cost-competitive, modern, fast-chirp, automotive radar sensor. Each essential IC building block will be reviewed for features and function with key attributes/specifications identified. The typical interconnections between ICs will be examined and explained. Radar operating theory will be briefly reviewed to highlight how each hardware block supports the radar sensor operation.

This course will provide an in-depth system analysis of high voltage (HV) electric vehicle (EV) and hybrid electric vehicle (HEV) power conversion. We will review how the MCU, GDIC and IGBTs function individually and as a system. We will discuss EV and HEV power systems and components for achieving a highly efficient and safe HV motor drive. Using NXP’s new HV IGBT GDIC, the GD3100, and Fuji GEN 7 IGBT modules as we will consider how to achieve smaller, more efficient, and lower cost HV inverter designs. We will review SPI interface programmability that enables any IGBT to be tuned for maximum efficiency, thermal design and layout considerations, power budget assessment, power up sequencing, managing short circuit faults, temperature monitoring, and advanced features provides monitoring and reporting of key safety functions to achieve system ASIL level D and ISO26262 certification.

When choosing the NFC device for a new design, the system architect must consider many parameters. To avoid unpleasant surprises during software implementation phase, software has to be taken into account as well from the beginning. Different NFC IC categories (NFC Frontends, NFC Controller, Connected Tag) have different strengths, depending on the software environment. The way how highly integrated operating systems like Linux are structured brings both new challenges and advantages. This session examines the considerations necessary when designing in NFC in different operating systems or "bare metal" systems. It also discusses the advantages and disadvantages of the different device categories in dependence of the designated environment.

The session will provide an overview of the AUTOSAR software for NXP Ethernet products. It will describe the software products, starting from the AUTOSAR standard requirements, but also the extensions implemented to leverage the hardware capabilities of our products. It will also point out the advantages of using the AUTOSAR Switch and Transceiver drivers, from integration with NXP or 3rd party microcontrollers to application use-case diversity and leveraging the software ecosystem and quality requirements set by the automotive industry standards.
