About this demo This demo is based on the Wireless UART example from the SDK available on Welcome | MCUXpresso SDK Builder selecting the QN908X board.  The main idea of this demo is to be able to send commands from one device to another, it could be from a QN9080DK, a phone using our NXP application: IoT Toolbox or even an FRDM-KW41Z, this is possible because of the BLE protocol used in all our devices. The end-device used is a QN9080DK, this board receives the message, does parsing and triggers a PWM function using the values sent from another device. This signal can be used in different applications, typically controlling smart lighting brightness and color, speed of motor controls and audio or video amplifiers. The goal of this demo is to implement a task for our FreeRTOS scheduler in order to be able to control a PWM while the BLE connection is still running and receive new incoming messages.   Video Limitations We only interpret ON, OFF and a string of values for our 3 signal outputs. The string of values has to be in the following syntax: rXXX,gXXX,bXXX. An example of this could be r255,g130,b200. The max value should be 255 in order to achieve 100% of the duty cycle, for this example, we are using is at 100 Hz. The connection is not using pairing or bonding modes, so no device information is saved on the non-volatile memory due to this if the connection is lost we need to follow the initial connection procedure. The amount of bytes that can be sent is limited by the macro: #define gAttMaxMtu_c in the ble_constants.h file from the project, we recommend to leave it as it is.   Useful Links Useful documentation is available in the SDK previously downloaded: <SDK Installation folder>...\SDK_2.2.1_QN908XCDK\docs   Link Description https://www.nxp.com/webapp/Download?colCode=QN908x-DK  QN908xDK User’s Guide Welcome | MCUXpresso SDK Builder  SDK Builder site Wireless Connectivity  NXP Wireless Community Connectivity Software: Implement tickless mode in FreeRTOS  Document for implementing a new task using OSA Abstraction layer of FreeRTOS https://www.nxp.com/docs/en/nxp/data-sheets/QN908x.pdf QN908x Datasheet for pins functions   Required Items Link Description QN908x: Ultra-Low-Power Bluetooth Low Energy System on Chip (SoC) Solution | NXP  It is required at least one as an end-point. Oscilloscope  An Oscilloscope to visualize the PWM. Hardware Diagram Step-by-Step Guide Download de QN908x SDK Download the attached .zip file. Import it into MCUXpresso, for the end node you should only use the qn908xcdk_wireless_uart_peripheral project. If you want to use a second QN board to send the commands it is required to also import the qn908xcdk_wireless_uart_central project. Once the projects are imported, we need to flash each board with a project and connect the PA9, PA10, and PA18 pins to our oscilloscope in order to visualize the signal. Connect the USB cables to the computer and open Teraterm with the following values: 115200, 8 bits, none,1 bit, none. Press the RESET Button (SW3) of the Peripheral board Press the Button1 (SW1) after the message: "Wireless UART starting as GAP Peripheral, press the role switch to change it.", an "Advertising" should appear. If a second QN board is used (central), we need to open a second Teraterm session and set it to the same Serial configurations from point 5. If an Android phone is used we need to have the IoT Toolbox application installed and select the Wireless UART example and connect to the Peripheral board using the interface. To pair the Central board to the Peripheral it is required to press the RESET Button (SW3) of the Central board while the Peripheral board is advertising and then Push the Button1 (SW1). Once the boards are connected, we need to paste the message to our terminal in order to be sent as one message. The message should be seen in the other board terminal. Send "ON" to activate the PWM functionality. Send "r255,g128,b64" to set the PWM pins to 100%, 50%, 25%. This signal must be displayed at 100Hz on the oscilloscope. Send "OFF" to deactivate the PWM functionality.   Further Information The Demo is based on the Wireless UART example, The BleApp_ReceivedUartStream function is modified to compare de received strings. The getValuesRGB converts the string into integer values to be assigned to the global variables red, green, blue. Inside getValuesRGB we use the OSA abstraction layer for FreeRTOS to create the task using: OSA_TaskCreate and creating the task named: vfnTaskPWM. vfnTaskPWM configures the timer and initializes the PWM values using the CTimer driver functions and starts the CTimers.     Results 1. After the QN9080 is flashed and in Advertising mode, we have to connect our Central device, Which in this case is an Android phone. In or Teraterm we should be able to see this message: 2. Then, we get the Connected status from our devices and we should be able to send the ON command and the RGB values, Teraterm indicates the integer values and the string received.         3. When we send the OFF command the PWM signals should be 0 V.   4. Here is another example:

Description Earlier this year NXP organized a promotional opportunity for amateur radio enthusiasts to use their creativity and build their own power amplifier designs. NXP received numerous creative submissions in this competitive Homebrew RF Design Challenge. We appreciate the dedication and enthusiasm from the community that made this contest a success. First place winner An MRF101AN broadband amplifier design with 1 W Input, 100 W Output 1.8-54 MHZ Amplifier deck. (For more information visit:NXP MRF-101 - RFPowerTools )  It is an amplifier with a bandwidth of 1.8MHz to 54MHz. Maximum output power of 100W up to 30MHz and 70W up to 50MHz. Maximum power supply 50V to 4A, with a Voltage Standing Wave Ratio of 1.5:1 maximum. The design dimensions of the PCB is 5x5 cm (2x2 in). and 310g weight including fan and heat sink. Second place winner A 600W broadband HF amplifier using affordable LDMOS devices (For more information visit: https://qrpblog.com/2019/10/a-600w-broadband-hf-amplifier-using-affordable-ldmos-devices/  ) This project is meant to demonstrate the capabilities of the MRF300 transistors as linear broadband devices in the 2-50MHz range and to be used by radio amateurs as a starting point for a medium-high power amplifier. This is also my entry to the NXP Homebrew RF Design Challenge 2019. To achieve the target of 600W output while also minimizing the level of even-number harmonics, a “push-pull” configuration of two transistors is used. Luckily, the manufacturer made it easy to design the PCB layout for such a thing by offering two versions (the MRF300AN & MRF300BN) that have mirrored pinout. The common TO-247 package is used, with the source connected to the tab. Each individual MRF300 LDMOS transistor is specified at 330W output over a 1.8-250MHz working frequency range, a maximum 28dB of gain and over 70% efficiency. The recommended supply range is 30-50Vdc. By studying the specifications, it looks like with correct broadband matching and some operational safety margin we can get close to 600W output at a voltage of around 45V across a resonably large bandwidth; the aim is to cover 1.8 to 54MHz. Main challenges when designing this amplifier are related to achieving good input and output matching over the entire frequency range as well as maintaining high and flat gain. Good linearity and a low level of harmonic products are mandatory. As the TO-247 is not a package specifically designed for high-power RF, there are some challenges with thermal design and PCB layout as well. Information taken from the essay by the winner. Third place winner A High Efficiency Switchmode RF Amplifier using a MRF101AN LDMOS Device for a CubeSat Plasma Thruster (For more information visit: Research - SuperLab@Stanford ) The Class E amplifier utilizes the active device as a switch, operating in only cutoff (off) and saturated (on) conditions. This minimizes the overlap of voltage and current, reducing losses in the active device. To further reduce loss the Class E amplifier utilizes an inductively tuned resonant network to achieve zero voltage switching, bringing the voltage across the switch to zero before turn on, eliminating energy stored in the output capacitance of the active device that would otherwise be dissipated. This is achieved with an inductively tuned series resonant output filter.  In the Class E amplifier losses are almost entirely determined by the current conducted by the active device so a high drain impedance is desired to maximize efficiency. The drain impedance is ultimately limited by the voltage rating of the switch. For our desired output power of 40W and the maximum voltage rating of 133V for the MRF101AN this impedance is still less than 50 ohms, so a L match circuit is used to match the drain impedance to 50 ohms. The load network in our design provides a drain impedance of 15.4+12.8j. As the MRF101AN will operate in saturation a high drive level is desired. To eliminate the need for a preamplifier and allow for digital control, we use a high speed gate drive chip typically used in switch-mode power supplies, LMG1020, to drive the MRF101AN instead of a RF preamplifier. A resonant network is used to provide voltage gain at the fundamental and third harmonic, providing a quasi-square wave on the gate which helps insure the device remains in saturation. Conclusion It was a close call and highly competitive! Each participant had their own creative, unique and impressive way of displaying the capabilities of these new parts. NXP is always up for new design challenges. Ready for the next challenge?

Near Field Communication (NFC) is already present in more than 1.5 Billion smartphones. Well-known applications like payment and access control are enabled by NFC, but also emerging and innovative use cases which are just appearing on the horizon now. This article gives you more information, background and how-to guides around our NFC demos, first exhibited at embedded world 2018 in Nürnberg - to help you put NFC Everywhere. Accessories and consumables Identifying and authenticating accessories and consumables can add significant value to a product, and for the first time we show live how this works: The demo showcases tool identification via NFC for 3 different kinds of tools: A drill bit, a standard flat-blade screwdriver and a Phillips screwdriver. Each of the tools has an embedded NTAG213 NFC tag, and the electric drill contains an NFC reader (CLRC663 plus). As soon as a tool is inserted, the main unit reads the tool type and usage (wear). Based on this information, it can reject non-genuine or worn-out tools, and adjust internal settings like max/min speed based on the tool type. The demo is based on the brand new NFC Nutshell kit by our partner GMMC, and the demo shows how easily an existing product can be retrofitted with NFC using this kit. Find a detailed description of accessory and consumable identification and authentication here: https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-340283 Parameterization, Diagnosis and Firmware update This demo shows how you can use an NFC phone to parameterize/configure a DIN rail module (or any other piece of electronics) with an NFC phone - even if the module is completely unpowered. The smart phone app lets you set the behavior of the lamps and also the language of the display. After the configuration (a simple tap) you switch on the main power, and the device comes up as configured. And NFC also lets you read out diagnostic data - no matter whether the device is powered on or off. So you can even replace your service UART by NFC. Thirdly, the demo shows how easy it is to even flash your firmware via NFC. Again, this works even when the device is switched off. This application is based on the NTAG I²C plus passive connected tag IC.   Find a detailed description and all source codes here: https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-333834. Interested how this looks like in a commercial product? Watch this video showing how easily the Schneider Zelio NFC Timer Relay can be configured via NFC. Access Management In the Access Management corner, we demonstrate the ultimate contactless connectivity for residential or hospitality applications through NXP NFC and BLE solutions and a superior contactless experience and security with MIFARE ® DESFire ® credential on cards, mobile devices and wearables. Our demonstrator is based on the PN7462 family, the all-in-one full NFC controller, the QN9021, a low power BLE system-on-chip, and the PCF8883T, capacitive proximity switch with auto-calibration, for very low power consumption. We also show two commercial products by our partners: 1) The Salto XS4 range of smart doorlocks, a simple to use and very efficient access control system. 2) A modular access control solution by Kronegger, using their tiny NFC reader boards. We also reveal a very small footprint complete reader board based on the new BGA package (VFBGA64; 4.5x4.5 mm²) for the PN7462 family complementing the existing HVQFN64 package.   NFC Tandem - The Best Of Two Worlds If you need NFC functionality both in powered and unpowered state, have a look at the NFC Tandem demo: An NFC reader (PN7150) and a passive connected NFC tag (NTAG I²C plus) sharing one antenna. A user can interact with the device when it is powered off (through the NTAG I²C plus); when the device is powered, it can read cards, tags or other connected tags. Find design files, a user manual and further downloads here: https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-340244 Single-Chip Integrated Solution: LPC8N04 MCU with passive NFC interface In this demo, we show our latest integrated NFC solution, the LPC8N04, a cost-effective MCU with integrated (passive) NFC connectivity. This MCU offers multiple features, including several power-down modes and a selectable CPU frequency of up to 8 MHz for ultra-low power consumption. The demo showcases its features in a conceptual clock format: - Easily set current time/date of the clock via an NFC phone - Real-time clock with optional alarm, programmed and controlled using an Android app - GPIO controlled bar graph indicating programmable "safe operating range" - I2C controlled OLED user display - Data (temperature) logging, configured using an Android App To learn more about this device, please visit: www.nxp.com/LPC8N04 Single-Chip Integrated Solution: NTAG SmartSensor NTAG SmartSensor allows consumers and brand owners to confirm that temperature sensitive products – like fish, wine or pharmaceuticals – have been properly handled. The NTAG SmartSensor allows for temperature sensing at the item level, so each individual product can be confirmed as safe to use. And a single tap with your NFC smartphone is all that's needed to read out the temperature history of the NTAG SmartSensor. Learn more about NTAG SmartSensor on our webpage or watch the video. If you are looking for a ready-made logger using the NTAG SmartSensor, here is a list of manufacturers offering NTAG SmartSensor based loggers. Electronic Shelf Labels With NFC-enabled Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL), wrong price indication, non-transparent processes, and unsatisfactory customer interactions are a thing of the past. In this demo we show labels from 2 manufacturers, one commercial electronic shelf label from SES Imagotag and one ePaper label from MpicoSys. Find more information in the article by Fabrice Punch, Senior Marketing Manager at NXP. Why NFC on ePaper label? NFC allows for creating a product with no batteries, so no recharging, and labels can be in constant use  No cables and connectors - labels can be fully sealed and made waterproof NFC is a well-proven and widely-supported standard  Allows for easy integration with both PC and smartphones    Applications for PicoLabel - MpicoSys ePaper labels Logistic labels (warehousing, supply chain management)  ID Badges (show image on employee, visitor and conference badges)  Authentication badges (identity, authentication, cryptographic security) Door signage (shared offices, conference centers) Manufacturing (replacing paper labels) NFC Cube The NFC Cube is the universal demo for NFC applications: It shows communication between a device and a card/tag, between a device and a phone, and between two devices. It uses the PN7462AU single-chip NFC controller with integrated Cortex M0 core. The NFC Cube kit is interoperable with our NTAG I 2 C plus Explorer board, which enables you to demonstrate how 2 devices can communicate via NFC.

现在越来越多的客户,对于S32G PFE在master/slave的使用有了需求。 但是,PFE只有4个HIF接口,HIF0~HIF3,而PFE有3个EMAC口,以及LLCE2PFE也需要要给HIF,从而HIF成为一个关键资源。 同时,有些客户需要从A核,M核的业务考量,A核和M核的网络不仅要和外部设备进行通信,同时A核和M核内部也有通信需求,并且需要把业务报文和管理报文分离,这就对PFE master/slave的使用场景有了更多变化,以及对各种配置有了更多需求。 因此,针对PFE/Slave的几种使用典型的使用场景,进行配置。

在进行时钟同步时,目前S32G2/G3有一种很典型的使用场景: Grand master clock  <-> S32G PFE <-> 其余连接在PFE 某些 eMAC口上的设备 外部的grand master clock,连接在PFE的一个eMAC上,要同步S32G以及连接在PFE其余eMAC上的设备时钟。 但是S32G2/G3的PFE仅仅是支持timestamp,对于将S32G PFE设置成交换机使用时,PFE不能实现Transparent clock的功能。 因此,本文讨论将PFE + S32G SoC当作Transparent clock,以及将PFE + S32G当作boundary clock,来同步S32G以及其余部件的时钟。
