The D-Bug12XZ firmware combined with the Freescale LFBDMPGMR BDM programmer hardware provides a powerful low-level debugging environment for S12 and S12X MagniV devices. There are times when Electronic Control Modules (ECM) in a car will become inoperative or unresponsive to normal communication channels such as CAN or LIN. The Background Debug Module (BDM) on these devices combined with the D-Bug12XZ  debugger provides the ability to reliably ‘hot-connect’ to the S12 and S12X MagniV devices without resetting or disturbing the running target. Once BDM communications is established with the target, the MCU’s I/O and memory resources can be uploaded for analysis. This session will teach the features and use of these tools to ‘hot connect’ to an unresponsive target MCU with the goal of determining the possible cause of the software and/or hardware failure.

This session will cover how to differentiate and to attach Freescale Power Management solutions to most Freescale MCU and MPUs for complete system enablement in IoT, automotive and multi-market applications.

The Kinetis software development kit (SDK) provides a comprehensive software framework for Kinetis MCU-based applications. Join this session to get hands-on experience with the basics of Kinetis SDK, including MCU boot-up, board setup, interrupt handling, HAL and drivers.

This session will outline the design challenges that healthcare and medical device designers face when designing a product and selecting components. Special attention will be paid to IC selection, wireless connectivity, system security and regulatory concerns. Following this class, you should be better prepared to utilize Freescale products to get your products to market faster.

Introducing a temperature dependent current limit for motor drivers. This thermal management scheme ensures high efficient operation by reducing switching losses when motor is experiencing heavy loads or binding. In the presentation we will discuss factors determining power dissipation in a motor driver integrated circuit examining dynamic and steady state operation and their effect on junction temperature. We will review how to calculate an estimate of power dissipation using the information provided in a typical motor driver data sheet. With an understanding how power is dissipated in a motor driver, we will introduce a new system using temperature dependent current limit that will protect both the driver and the motor.

In this hands-on workshop, learn how to build your next motor control application using Kinetis V series MCUs and Freescale’s comprehensive set of complimentary motor control software and tools, such as Freescale's Embedded Software Motor Control and Power Conversion Libraries (FSLESL), Kinetis SDK, Kinetis Design Studio IDE along with Tower System Module rapid prototyping - all designed specifically to reduce you development time.

Kinetis Microcontrollers (MCUs) consist of multiple hardware- and software-compatible ARM Cortex-M0+, Cortex-M4 and Cortex-M7-based MCU series. Kinetis MCUs offer exceptional low-power performance, scalability and feature integration.

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. 

In this session, attendees will learn what types of applications can be built on a wearable reference platform for the healthcare and fitness markets. Design challenges and requirements for creating your own designs using WaRP, a wearable reference platform (WaRP), with Kinetis MCUs, i.MX applications processors and Freescale sensors will be discussed.

The QorIQ T1040 and T1042 communication processors support four integrated 64-bit e5500 Power Architecture® processor cores with high-performance data path acceleration architecture (DPAA) and network peripheral interfaces required for networking and telecommunications. This session will provide an in-depth look at the new features being introduced in the T1040 family such as the Single Source Clock, L2 Switch, sSDXC, QSGMII and DDR4. The session will also cover power-saving schemes of T1040. Presented by Du Chen​ Presented at DwF Digital Networking - Nanjing - 21 May 2015 Session ID: APF-SNT-T1359

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.

Some IoT installations are required to maintain operations in the field for over 10 years. Selecting sensor components for these applications is significantly different from mobile and consumer products. This presentation examines environmental compatibility and long term operating characteristics of sensors and provides an overview of the design considerations for embedded industrial applications.

Kinetis M series MCUs are based upon the low-power ARM® Cortex®-M0+ core and are designed for single-chip 1, 2 and 3-phase electricity meters as well as flow meter and other precision measurement applications.

High power RF customers also use low power MMICs and GPAs as smaller drivers and pre-driver which are included in Freescale's RF small signal portfolio. This class will cover the mathematics for computing the required driver and pre-driver output power in a line-up, discuss key product differentiators and review the small signal RF device portfolio. Since all radio communications systems include both a transmit path and a receive path, Freescale’s small signal portfolio contains an extensive array of low noise amplifier (LNA) devices used in the receive path of the radio link. This class will also cover the techniques used to create line-up suggestions utilizing these devices.

This session will discuss Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) product and solution update plus feature guidelines on product mapping for different ADAS applications.
