By accurately modelling the i.MX 6, so that compiled code can be brought up on a Virtual Platform, great time savings can be made in a typical project design workflow, and a greater understanding of the available design space achieved. This paper looks at a multi-core Linux design, with a hosted application used to track the seabed depth, implemented on an X86 host. The design is simulated in near real-time, and detailed debug data is available both on the i.MX 6 and hosted software native-code application.

In this section, NXP (SIP) will introduce the key products surround the USB Type-C connectors. The section will covers Power Delivery Controller, Power Delivery PHY, CC logic controller, high speed switch and high speed redriver. We will go over NXP Type-C hardware architecture, differentiation and product advantage.

This presentation will demonstrate the capabilities of the new i.MX 7 System-on-Chip, a hybrid solution containing a Cortex-A7 processor and a Cortex-M4 processor. Particular attention will be given to the hardware modules and software counterparts allowing both cores to communicate with each other. This hybrid architecture will be highlighted through various potential use cases/product scenarios and a Qt powered application running on top of Linux along with FreeRTOS will be showcased, focusing on asymmetric processing.

The QorIQ Communications portfolio has traditionally used Power Architecture® based cores. The latest QorIQ LS series of processors has expanded to use ARM® core technology. There are a lot of software-visible architectural differences between these two types of cores, and system software is dependent on the core architecture. If a system software developer who has experience with Power Architecture based devices transitions to ARM-based processors, the developer must understand the differences between the cores so that the software can be easily migrated from a Power Architecture core to an ARM core. This session compares these two core architectures and sheds light on how software can handle the differences. Watch Video Presentation

While many look for hypervisor based solutions when separating multiple operating systems running on multiple cores in the new embedded devices from NXP, an easier solution is often overlooked. This session will describe ARM TrustZone as a technology currently found in the ARM Cortex A family of the devices, but being introduced by ARM in other variants. A few use cases will be presented - these include secure gateway on a Layerscape LS1021 device, and an automotive instrument cluster on an i.MX6 dual core device.

The Light Emitting Diode (LED) has revolutionized signaling on control panels and appliances from coffee makers to car dashboards to factory and data center equipment. LEDs give LCD Displays an efficient and more natural backlight, and have upped the ante in dazzling casino and gaming entertainment parlors. Driving and controlling individual LEDs starts with a simple technical question "Constant Voltage or Constant Current?", and is quickly followed by "How many channels do you need?" NXP's LED Controllers are tailored for simple to increasingly complex LED requirements, and take the burden of blinking and fading off your system's microprocessor. Watch Video Presentation

Low-power is a system level challenge. Unfortunately, there is not just one feature that resolves the challenge. With LPC, we will focus on delivering low-power capabilities across a broad range of products: Low-power boot, intelligent clocking, ultra-efficient processing, flexible low-power modes and autonomous, low-power peripherals. In this session, we focus on each one of these capabilities, how they address the challenges of designing low-power applications and highlight differentiators LPC MCUs offer the low-power market. What's the most efficient way to communicate with peripherals, how to optimize data transfers, the effects different power modes and clock gating functions have on energy. This session discusses these topics plus explains how one can leverage the unique modes and features available on LPC MCUs to improve energy efficiency of IoT applications and other embedded systems.
