Presented by Istone Presented at DwF Digital Networking Shenzhen - January 28, 2015

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 need is increasing to program a second application code image in flash while still executing the microcontroller's application and then switching to the new code image. Example implementations for Freescale microcontroller architectures are presented to demonstrate how to do concurrent programming with application execution and subsequent remap to the new application code image.

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, we’ll take a look at how Micron is currently supporting the memory needs (DRAM, NAND, NOR, and SSD) of the automotive, industrial, medical, and military (AIMM) markets. Although memory is changing constantly and faster than ever, Micron understands that the AIMM markets require long product lifetimes as well as specific temperatures and package sizes. Learn more about how Micron is supporting these requirements by keeping a close eye on the latest market trends, technology, and interface roadmaps while offering a Product Longevity Program.

In this session, we will first depict the revolutionary 2X faster go-to-market path to launch a device, then illustrate why MicroEJ for Kinetis helps to reduce the B.O.M cost of our customers. MicroEJ enables IoT innovation, reduces time to prototype and product, and also supports a dynamic Apps go-to-market strategy, by leveraging new capabilities such as ultra-fast simulation, prototyping, as well as product customization after deployment in the field driving larger market share for IoT OEMs.

How Freescale's RF device portfolio can solve problems for many different industries. The focus on uses outside of the traditional cellular infrastructure and how Freescale devices bring unique capabilities to these application areas that include: Industrial Scientific Medical (ISM) applications, including laser, MRI and heating; Land mobile, including public safety, dispatch and remote monitoring; Avionics, including communication, navigation and radar systems.

This session will discuss a functional, cost and design cycle analysis of product development using SOMs, WaRP Board, custom board and SCM6D based products. This analysis will focus on several design scenarios facing customers and how each of the 4 solutions discussed compare. Further to the analysis will be discussion on time to market studies as well as software development impacts to product lead time. Following this class, you should be better prepared to utilize Freescale SCM portfolio to get your products to market faster.

Linux is the state of the art software used to enable Freescale LS102x platforms. Freescale provides a custom SDK and a set of networking software build on top of Linux kernel. In order to improve customer performance, it needs a way to analyze the existing performance of the software and find ways to improve it. CodeWarrior IDE is a development environment targeted to debug and analyze Freescale platforms. Software analysis component from CodeWarrior help Freescale developers to analyze the performance of their code running on Linux on LS102x targets. Using CodeWarrior analysis tools, you are able to trace your system execution at multiple levels: system level, kernel level, and user level. Using CodeWarrior analysis tools, developers are able to easy configure, collect and analyze the trace. Performance profilers are available to show the performance of the analyzed system.

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.

The standard CAN protocol has been extended into CAN Flexible Data (FD) to provide higher bandwidth while keeping the physical characteristics that have made it the most popular automotive in-vehicle communications protocol . This presentation will provide an overview of the changes to the standard as well as address the challenges faced while rolling out and implementing the technology.

This session introduces Freescale's FXTH8715 TPMS that monitors tire pressure up to 1500 kPa, which provides the highest range in the industry. The solution can also be programmed to deliver tire usage data to facilitate fleet management.

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.

To help address the need for cost-effective vehicle electronic systems, the S12 MagniV mixed-signal microcontroller (MCU) portfolio offers highly integrated, single-chip solutions that are extremely reliable and easy to develop with, while helping reduce the bill of materials and overall manufacturing costs. The purpose of this session is to describe hardware design considerations when developing hardware for the MagniV family. It will cover topics such as clock generation, decoupling, voltage regulator and power considerations. Detailed reference design schematics and descriptions of the main components will be reviewed. Some general hardware recommendations will be provided as well.

Android provides a powerful operating system and development environment that can be used to develop connected IoT products very quickly. It further allows developers build up feature-rich HMI solutions with multi-display capabilities, for example it allows dual full-HD HDMI operation on the DIGI ConnectCore 6 SOM. There is a risk that resulting embedded products are open to external attack or user modification. This presentation will discuss the key components of the Android operating system and show how to implement network-enabled embedded applications based on SE Android (Security Enhancements for Android), a completely open-source project that provides a sandboxed application runtime environment preventing unauthorized modification of devices and/or execution of potentially malicious code.
