Automotive applications based on modern processor technology require more complex hardware design than traditional microcontroller solutions: volatile and non-volatile memories are provided external to the device and multiple power supplies are required. This session provides a guide to developing a hardware platform using the S32V234 processor as an example. Topics covered include: power supply design considerations, memory layout and technology, camera and display connectivity, fast interface technology and serial bus physical interfaces.

This session introduces the standard and low cost development boards for the S32V234 automotive vision processor. The session includes an overview of the features of the processor and the platform with development hands-on exercises for the processor using a Linux platform and vision software development kit.

This session will cover the different vision processing capabilities of the S32V234 automotive vision processor with a focus on the Image Sensor Processor (ISP). The presentation will demonstrate how the cost of a vision system can be cut down by using the ISP to accept raw camera input data and to process it using algorithms like debayering, white balancing, format conversion, HDR and de-noising. The aim of the session is to give an introduction to camera processing, to present the architecture of the ISP and to demonstrate how it can be programmed using a visual tool developed by NXP.

There is an increasing number of high/ultra high speed drives required by the industry. The theory offers the rules how to drive fast motors, however not all them are easily applicable in the real word. The significant issue is that the rules requires a pretty powerful device to be enough fast to control fast motors. The presentation offers the comparison of the theory with the experiences out of the customer project targeting the high speed motors controlled by a less powerful devices, where the less powerful controller is a pretty challenge within the overall task.

As more and more individuals acquire automobiles and city populations increase, road way congestion worsens year-by-year. Traffic Congestion results in billions of dollars in lost productivity: individuals are confined to hours upon hours of menial vehicle operation in stop-go conditions. Solution: Advances in NXP's ADAS Radar, Vision, and V2X technologies can alleviate congestion and regain lost productivity - 1) reducing personal stress, 2) improving commuter productivity, and 3) reducing traffic accidents. The session will show how controlling driver response variance, (e.g. making acceleration, deceleration, and minimum safe driving distance constant), relieves congestion jamming conditions. The session concludes with a mapping of ADAS DSRC features to NXP devices. Watch Video Presentation

Get up and running in minutes with the NXP S32K platform using the S32 SDK and S32 Design Studio. This hands-on session will introduce the full flexibility and capability of the S32 SDK package, outlining the excellent out-of-the-box experience, ease of use and shorter time to market. Attendants will learn how to use it in correlation with S32 Design Studio IDE to quickly create suitable applications for general-purpose use-cases, running through all the development steps (installation, software configuration & RTOS integration, inserting application code and target debug).

Aimed to be a hands-on the exercise would consist in using a vision processor to run CNN on various pictures to recognize traffic signals (Stop, Turn, Yield, etc). First we will cover basic concepts on machine learning for the algorithms to be used. After the class part is over, we will use a vision processor to run CNN to recognize between traffic signs and no traffic signs.

Cars depend on a range of systems that must guarantee safety for their drivers. Linux and Open Source have already entered the infotainment segment, but expanding to ADAS presents new challenges with regards to safety and change control. This session will provide an overview of the internals of the kernel, the safety-critical components, implementation of fault recovery mechanisms and finally how open source software can be used for Autonomous Drive applications.
