Demo Owner: Derek Snell   This demo combines several solutions from NXP and our partners. The demo is a thermostat application, using the Kinetis family as a communication gateway between a ZigBee network and connecting to the cloud. The demo runs on the MQX Real-Time Operating System (RTOS). It also uses the NXP PEG graphics library for the user interface displayed on an LCD. The ZigBee communication uses NXP’s BeeStack ZigBee stack, and connects with an NXP wireless development board programmed as a remote temperature sensor. The demo will also connect with an off-the-shelf ZigBee light bulb, and wirelessly controls it. The demo network connection is setup for Wi-Fi, using a Wi-Fi module from Qualcomm. The cloud connection allows the thermostat to be monitored and controlled remotely with mobile devices, and uses a solution provided by deviceCloud.io.     NXP Products Product Link Shield Adapter Module for the Tower System Shield Adapter Module for the Tower System | NXP  Kinetis® KW2x Tower System Modules TWR-KW2x|Tower System Board|Kinetis® MCUs | NXP  Kinetis K70 120 MHz Tower System Module TWR-K70F120M|Tower System Board|Kinetis MCUs | NXP  Serial (USB, Ethernet, CAN, RS232/485) Tower System Module Serial (USB, Ethernet, CAN, RS232/485) Tower System Module | NXP  Graphical LCD Tower System Module with RGB Interface Graphical LCD Tower Module with RGB Interface | NXP    Design Resources Getting Started Guide Development Tools Thermostat Demo Software Firmware updated to v1.0 on 9/9/14      - DCIO Cloud agent now uses SSL from WolfSSL.  This improves WebSocket connections to cloud server through some protected networks.

Demo High performance feature extraction and tracking application at ultra-low power on S32V platform. This demo showcases a real-time high computation algorithm with image capture and display running on a portion of the resources available on the S32V234. Customers can create demanding Automotive grade vision systems such as stereo and single camera as well as advanced surround view systems based on this demo. The application was written using APEX-CV pro library and demonstrates that high performance application leveraging the APEX Image Cognition Processor cores of the S32V234 could also be easy to write Features The APEX cores, with a combined 128 parallel computational units, crunch numbers quickly and at a fraction of the power. Fully programmable, the cores can execute standard and/or customized vision algorithms for ADAS applications and beyond. The S32V234 MCU captures raw images from HD sensor, and then formats the images with its on-chip ISP that here provides exposure control, white balancing, RGB to Y color conversion.  Formatted images are then feed into the APEX cores that generate multi-level image pyramids, and combined Harris Corner for feature detection followed by Lukas-Kanade (KLT) Sparse Optical Flow for feature tracking.  Then features and displacement are overlaid on image and displayed, at the processing performance of up to 100 fps NXP Recommends The S32V230 Processor family for Vision ADAS, includes the award winning automotive grade S32V234 MCU with dual APEX Image Cognition Processor cores. http://www.nxp.com/products/microcontrollers-and-processors/arm-processors/s32-processors-and-microcontrollers/s32v230-family-of-processors-for-advanced-driver-assistance-systems:S32V230 Video Links
