Simultaneous multithreading (SMT) is an advanced processor microarchitecture feature that allows independent execution threads to more effectively utilize a superscalar CPU pipeline organization. SMT implementations in a 2-way superscalar pipeline maximize dual-thread concurrency with relatively little incremental dynamic power dissipation. This session focuses on the SMT capabilities included in the next-generation Power Architecture e200z9 processor core, and the improved performance/power metric achievable through this microarchitecture.

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.

This session provides an introduction to the new QorIQ LS1 family, the first family of devices in the QorIQ LS series based on dual ARM® Cortex®-A7 cores. You will receive an overview of the LS1 processors--advantages, differentiators and capabilities for networking and industrial applications.

The most difficult step of the development cycle is moving from concept to prototype. The second is moving from prototype to production. Wearables are no exception. This class will first compare and contrast open source reference designs that are available to prototype wearable projects today. In the second half, using Freescale reference designs as a case study, we will cover the challenges and resources available to enable a project to move into manufacturing and production.

Freescale Connected Intelligence helps to bring the full potential of the IoT to life, delivering intelligence everywhere so designs and whole systems can scale and interact seamlessly and securely. This session will present the Freescale solutions addressing the challenges of IoT, with a focus on Wireless Connectivity platforms. Presented by Cyril Zarader Presented at DwF Tel Aviv - January 27, 2015 Session ID: EUF-IND-T0970

Intelligent connected devices and consumer products are getting smaller and more feature rich thanks to awesome high-value microcontrollers like the i.MX 6 applications processors or K60 families. But with these powerful compact microcontrollers comes the challenge of interconnecting many peripherals, GPIOs and power onto ever shrinking printed circuit boards. In this session, embedded hardware developers will learn how to optimize the GPIO and peripheral pin assignments and save time and space in the PCB design - especially in getting the IO assignments into the schematics and PCB with a streamlined, controlled approach.

Presented by Stanley Huang Presented at MCU and Automotive Solutions, Tianan - 19 March 2015

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.

In this workshop, we will dive deep into the advanced usage of the Kinetis Design Studio IDE, including how to use it with a version control system, automating builds and debug sessions. Also, learn how to generate coverage and profile your application.

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.

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

Presented by Jerry Zeng Presented at DwF Kinetis MCUs Based on ARM® Technology Shenzhen - January 27, 2015

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.

This session will provide an introduction to designing audio and non-audio accessories for smartphones and tablets based on Kinetis MCUs and i.MX applications processors. Several demos will be included.

This session provides an overview of the new Kinetis MCU auto product family, including KEA and KFA series MCUs. The Kinetis MCU auto family is a highly scalable portfolio of 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M0+/M4-based, AEC Q100-certified MCUs aimed for the automotive market. The family is optimized for cost-sensitive applications offering a low pin-count option with very low power consumption. With 2.7-5.5 V supply and focus on exceptional EMC/ESD robustness, Kinetis MCU auto series devices are well suited to a wide range of applications, ranging from body applications, infotainment connection modules, parking assistance, safety companion chips or generic sensor nodes. All the members of the Kinetis MCU auto family share similar peripherals and are supported by a wide range of third-party and Freescale HW/SW development tools. Developers can start designing quickly with the Kinetis MCU auto family.

Ethernet has become one of the most discussed technologies in automotive vehicle communications. This presentation will provide an overview of the standards encompassing Automotive Ethernet. As well as address the challenges in implementing the technology among different applications.

Accelerometers, Magnetometers, Gyroscopes, Pressure Sensors. Gathering sensor data at 400 samples per second, on 9 axes, results in 700 MB of data per day. This hands-on class will show what information is contained in sensor data and how to reduce the amount of recorded data dramatically without any major loss of targeted information. They will then compare data between dumb and intelligent data loggers, and understand the techniques used to compress the information.
