Demo   Virtualized Network Platforms demonstrates the capability of QorIQ® Layerscape processors in virtualized Customer Premises and Provider edge solutions using Open System Architecture and Open Standards like OF, ODP and OPNFV. NXP’s Layerscape processors represent the ideal union of processing power and hardware acceleration engines for SDN and NFV applications. Layerscape processors are SDN and NFV ready with Dynamic Service Chaining support which enables a customizable network, meaning operators can add new services more quickly than legacy equipment would allow. Dynamic VNFs provide end-to-end network virtualization and offload processing from edge to cloud. The Layerscape platform software includes 3rd party commercial applications like Trend Micro™ and optimized open source applications which take advantage of NXP’s integrated hardware acceleration engines, Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA) and AIOP to accelerate the data plane. The platform is user programmable and supports standard APIs such as ODP for easy application portability.   Features Demonstration of an SDN and NFV-based Virtualized Network Platform that enables bi-directional, dynamic and on-demand service delivery – by connecting access appliances (wired and wireless) to edge appliances and showcases traffic flow from different virtual network functions.   The access equipment can virtualize network processing such as firewall, anti-virus, and deep packet inspection (DPI) to the bigger network equipment (edge appliances) and enable service providers to push services (network appliances) to the access equipment. This solution demonstrates an "intelligent edge" such as a vCPE, empowered by the dynamic re-distribution of network processing by the virtualized access platform. Service-chaining, Trend-Micro (DPI) and Quality of Service (QoS) are also demonstrated.   Demonstrates Docker® virtualization support on LS2085ARDB by running Docker-based virtual network function using SEC Hardware acceleration for showcasing Openssl benchmarking from vNF.   This Virtualized Customer Premise Equipment (vCPE) solution is implemented with Open-Contrail, OpenNFV, OpenStack, OpenDaylight, OpenFlow, OpenVswitch and runs on NXP's QorIQ Layerscape LS Series 64-bit ARM platform. Specific solutions include the QorIQ LS1043 Wireless Gateway and the LS2085 Virtualized Edge Appliance.

NFC-enabled Audio System Tap-to-pair has become a common habit when connecting an NFC-enabled smartphone conveniently to a wireless speaker. Bringing this experience to the next level, even a multi-speaker audio system can be set up with NFC. If all speakers are equipped with an NFC chip, you simply tap one speaker to another to establish the connection. That’s what we call a true wireless stereo system - and it works with any phone, no matter if it is NFC-enabled. The same can be done with NFC-headsets. Features: Tap-to-pair to connect an NFC-enabled smartphone conveniently to a wireless speaker or headphone Easy integration into any OS environment ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Featured NXP Products: PN7210|NXP http://www.nxp.com/products/:PN7120A0EV NFC multi-speaker and headset audio system Speaker Version Tap-to-pair has become a common habit when connecting an NFC-enabled smartphone conveniently to a wireless speaker.

NXP Thread Commissioning Demo with Arrayent’s Cloud Control Thread devices can be monitored and controlled from anywhere in the world using Arrayent Connect Cloud Devices are easily commissioned onto a Thread network using NXP Thread App & QR code Devices are secure using Arrayent Unique ID (whitelisting) and AES-128 bit encryption. This Demo Is Probably of Interest If You: Want to monitor and control Thread devices that sit behind a consumer grade firewall from anywhere in the world. Want to commission Thread devices in a easy way. Differentiation This Demo Highlights Control and monitor Thread devices that sit behind a consumer grade firewall from anywhere in the world. Commission Thread devices using QR code Description The Thread network is managed by a LS1021A  IT Gateway with FRDM-KW24 Thread Border border reference design. The board supports Thread, Wi-Fi, BlueTooth and NFC too. NXP’s Thread commissioning android App discovers the Thread border router. NXP powered Thread “device” is a card with a NXP Kinetis® KW2xD 802.15.4 Wireless chip with an ARM Cortex M4 MCU board running the Thread protocol and the lightweight Arrayent Connect Agent. The Thread device boards are commissioned (or “paired”) on to the Thread network by using the NXP Thread commissioning Android App takes the device’s unique ID from the  QR code on the  device and pushes Thread network credentials into the device. This is shown again with a second card. Arrayent’s Connect Agent has been pre-loaded into the device boards.  And once the board is connected to the Thread network, the device board starts communicates directly to the Arrayent Cloud. Essentially key attributes on the board are presented up to the Arrayent Connect Cloud web services APIs. The final step is to use the Arrayent devkit app to monitor and control the device board from anywhere in the world.  In this case the we can demonstrate three monitor/control use cases: 1.     Turn on and off the device LED from the mobile app. 2.     Press a button three times to update the Apps button press counter (in this case three times.) 3.     Push the board temperature to the mobile app. What this Demo is All About Video Link : 5310 Find more information Press release: Read on The Business Journals Blog posts to read: NXP and Arrayent Collaborate to Connect Thread Devices at Embedded World, Nuremberg, Germany Thread-Enabled Smart Home Powered by Arrayent Demo Diagram IoT Physical Components Gateways SOC: NXP i.MX6 Applications Processor, NXP Kinetis®KW24D SoC Software: Embedded Linux, NXP Thread Stack for border router End User Products: LS1021A IT Gateway with FRDM-KW24 Thread Border border reference design Edge Devices SOC: NXP Kinetis®KW24D (802.15.4 Wireless chip with an ARM Cortex M4 MCU) Boards/Modules: NXP FRDM-KW24D  Development Board Software: Arrayent Connect Agent ported to the KW2xD, NXP Thread Stack for router end devices Wireless Connectivity SOC: NXP Kinetis®KW24D (802.15.4 Wireless chip with an ARM Cortex M4 MCU) Sensors SOC: KW24D On-chip Temperature, MMA8451Q 3-axis accelerometer Cloud Infrastructure/Services Software/Services: Arrayent Connect Cloud Smart Devices/Apps Software: Arrayent Android DevKit sample app and SDK Software: NXP Android Thread provisioning app IoT System Capabilities Device Management Each device is flashed at time of manufacturing a unique Arrayent Device ID and AES key.  The device ID is bound to a specific customer account at time of device commissioning.
