Enterprise storage solutions from Freescale with high availability in all aspects of the design will be discussed in this session. Dual socket design with redundant chip-to-chip interconnect, over 80G of network connectivity, redundant power, redundant SAS connectivity to HDD's and multiple NVMe SSD's for high IOPs are some of the core features of this storage solution. Ability to offload storage traffic (iSCSI and FCoE), RAID5/6 offload using AltiVec, RDMA across SRIO along with SEC, DCE and PME engines with optional C29x cards makes this an ideal enterprise-class, secure data center storage solution.

Curtiss-Wright will discuss the vital role that Freescale’s Power Architecture® and ARM® processors play today in rugged COTS-based embedded aerospace and defense applications where SWaP-C constraints demand low-power computing without compromise in harsh, deployed environments.  Such applications benefit greatly from Freescale’s ability to meet the STRESS requirements (S-Security, T-Trusted Computing, R-Reliability/Rugged, E-Embedded, S-Safety Certifiable, Support-Long Lifecycle Supply) typical of these markets. Through application examples we show how open architecture modules based on these devices provide processing solutions for airborne and ground combat vehicles, commercial embedded, as well as addressing requirements for ancillary markets which include National Infrastructure applications such as Power Plants, Power Grid, Security and Homeland Protection.

It support an industry standard memory interface, ultra-small product packages plus Known Good Die (KGD) option for System in Package solution.

As automotive applications become more complex, an increasing number of solutions require the use of external memories for cost-efficient program and data storage. This presentation reviews the characteristics of memory used in Freescale automotive processors and controllers and summarizes the application benefits of each. Memories interfaces and technologies included are: SDRAM, QuadSPI, I2C, SD and SDIO, NAND Flash and USB.

This session will introduce the latest Freescale 32-bit MCU designed for instrument cluster applications. We will spend time looking at the features and review the typical application configuration, software strategy and Freescale enablement built for this instrument cluster solution.

PROFIBUS, CAN and RS232 are extensively used in communications networks in factories, buildings, transport infrastructures and monitoring/control equipment in our cities. Ethernet offers higher bandwidth and, in many cases, lowers cost--especially when deployed in daisy-chain topology. Technologies such as EtherCAT, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP are testament to this. In this session, we will explore how QorIQ processor families can help equipment manufacturers span this landscape using a QUICC Engine (QE) controller for UART/Ethernet-based protocol implementation, a Enhanced Triple Speed Ethernet Controller (eTSEC) for intelligent Ethernet classification and 2-port switching, and an eight-port gigabit Ethernet switch for wire-rate switching. Reference design software and hardware files will be available to help you start your own PROFIBUS and PROFINET designs.

This session will cover some simple definitions of ESD and EOS while explaining the important differences in the energy involved and the resulting damage. The session will also review PCB design techniques for improving system robustness.

Kits include FRDM-34931S-EVB, FRDM-KL25Z, power supply, brushed DC motor and GUI on mbed™ site. We will show how to load and use a GUI from the mbed site to drive the motor, cover PEx software, and discuss the strengths of the MC34931S for industrial applications.

Beginning 2016, the European New Car Assessment program (NCAP) will allocate increased scoring measures for pedestrian detection capabilities. This means that any car fitted with technologies that enable detection of a pedestrian in a hazardous situation and as a result perform collision avoidance measures shall be rewarded with an increased NCAP score. These systems must be designed and manufactured based on a solid automotive development flow. This session will address the vision processing requirements for pedestrian detection and provide training on how vision algorithms may be implemented to respond to NCAP requirements in a safe, secure and reliable way.

S32 Design Studio for ARM is a hands-on training with the new Eclipse-based tool chain with C development tools in the integrated development environment including editor, compiler, and debugger support of Freescale's latest automotive ARM-based MCUs. Participants will learn about the project creation, editing, compiling, Processor Expert configuration tool, and debugging of a small example project under the direction of one of Freescale's tools experts. The class will focus on the Freescale KEA MCUs with the highly-integrated, easy-to-use tool chain. The student will start with a project from scratch, work through new project creation, configuration of the compiler, compilation, flashing executable onto the target MCU and complete the class with debugging the project on the target MCU evaluation board.

Following this session, you will understand how easy it is to use the Freescale Linux solution for developing end products.

The automobile is already the 2nd largest generator of data for the Internet of Things (IoT). But what is the data used for and where is the data converted to information? Freescale and IBM are working together to make the automotive IoT real. IBM offers a messaging protocol, MQTT and Blue Mix cloud application development environment while Freescale offers a portfolio of automotive devices, including connectivity needed for the gateway. The presentation will focus on the applications, the connectivity and the challenges of big data in the automotive IoT.

This session provides an overview on the security technologies Freescale offers to secure a system through two complementary technologies: 1) the Trust Architecture already present in QorIQ P and T series including Secure Boot and 2) the TrustZone® technology introduced in the ARM®-based QorIQ LS series processors. We will outline the motivations for offering these technologies in embedded processors and show how they can be complementary for making a final system “Trustable” in the sense it does what its users and suppliers expect it to do.
