Kinetis M series microcontrollers integrate high-accuracy measurement units (24-bit SD ADC, PGA, VREF) to measure wide dynamic range analog signals with a very low temperature drift.

A guide to using the Manufacturing tool. Learn how to install and use the Manufacturing tool on Freescale reference boards and modify the tool for use in your own application.

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. 

How to develop a proper GUI with FreeMASTER and integrate it to a MCU for development and debugging purposes.

As geometries continue to shrink and switching speeds increase, designing electromagnetic systems and printed circuit boards to meet the required signal integrity and EMC specifications has become even more challenging. A new design methodology is required, specifically, the utilization of an electromagnetic physics-based design methodology to control the field energy in your design. This session will walk through the development process and provide guidelines for building successful printed circuited boards.

Learn the major components of an Automotive Traction Inverter by walking through a prototype hardware and software design. I will be highlighting our IGBTs, GDICs, micros, and voltage / frequency (V/F) software to control an induction motor. This class provides a solid foundation on motor control and inverter design and an excellent class for engineers that are involved with EV systems but not yet motor control experts.

There are many stakeholders in the development of cyber security for the automotive market ranging from car makers, Tier 1/Tier 2 suppliers, service providers, governments, and consumers. This leads to wide variety of requirements, market drivers, and use cases for automotive cyber security. This session will give an overview of these with a focus on the relationship between safety and security, the emerging SAE J3061 recommended practice, and the tradeoffs involved in implementing security features in the automobile. Sample cyber security both from Freescale and 3rd-party software providers will also be described.

Learn about the latest MCUs recently added to the Kinetis V series, including the Kinetis KV5x MCU - Freescale's first MCU featuring the ARM Cortex-M7 core.

Attendees will be taught the pros, cons, and differences between Accelerometers, Magnetometers, Gyroscopes, and Pressure Sensors. This will be followed by hand-on labs using time, frequency, and sensor fusion dataloggers. A Java based GUI will be used to implement and explore different sensor algorithms before testing them on real embedded hardware. By the end of this hands-on class, the attendees will have gathered experience in using specific enablement tools to recognize a variety of motion/events and recognize most complex sensor patterns.

This session provides an overview of our automotive general purpose roadmap, with microcontroller products ranging from 8KB of flash up to 2MB of flash. Come learn about our line of new ARM® Cortex®-M microcontrollers that address general purpose and low-end automotive body applications, and also our line of highly integrated mixed-signal MCUs, combining a microcontroller and high-voltage analog components in a single piece of silicon to address LIN/CAN nodes in space-constrained applications, with optional motor-control pre-drivers. 

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.

This session provides an introduction to a new unified bootloader solution for Kinetis MCUs. An overview of the bootloader and accompanying  utilities will be provided along with a live demo of some common bootloader use cases. Presented by Anthony Huereca Presented at DwF Silicon Valley - March 26, 2015 Session ID: AMF-DES-T1057

This session will give you an understanding of how power is dissipated in a motor driver. You will also get a hands-on demonstration showing the waveforms of the MC33926 and MC33HB2001 as they are driven into current limit.

This presentation will highlight the key lessons learned of these deployments and how today's designs need to be architectured to be prepared to this massive innovation wave seen in the metering space including wide variety of markets requirements, wide variety of networks topologies, wide variety of communications protocols and silicon innovation acceleration. The presentation will also review how Freescale has developed a complete strategy around its Kinetis product line that will enable customers to quickly start their designs with low risk, high flexibility and security while being at the optimum price point. 

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.

In addition to fail safe system architectures, fault tolerance is gaining more and more importance in the context of highly-automated vehicles. This session addresses the theoretical foundations about fault tolerant system architectures and shows how those can be built with Freescale microcontrollers especially in the area of Advanced Driver Assistant Systems (ADAS). Leveraging key functional safety concepts built into Freescale's Automotive product portfolio enables efficient and scalable solutions spanning the range from fail safe systems to fault tolerant and fail operational architectures.

This session will introduce the standard AUTOSAR concepts and the Freescale AUTOSAR production grade software. The hands-on will focus on using the AUTOSAR MCU Abstraction Layer drivers (MCAL), AUTOSAR real-time operating system (OS) and getting started with an automotive application. The session will include a step-by-step approach, guiding the audience through the software configuration, code generation and up to running the application on a Freescale automotive microcontroller.
