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 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 explain how to migrate between the QorIQ T2081 and T1040 communications processor families by achieving hardware and software compatibility. The session will also discuss hardware, software and board-level considerations that exist while migrating between these processors and designing a common board for these processors. 

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 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.

As the IoT gains momentum, the growth in the number of nodes connected to the internet poses a number of security challenges. The sheer number of devices establishing new connections to the cloud places a severe computational load on web servers. At the other end of the network, existing internet authentication algorithms are too heavy for small, battery powered sensor nodes to process. Further, more personal data will be captured and must be protected from cyber-attacks. This session will propose solutions to mitigate these challenges, both in the cloud and in the edge nodes.
