This session provides an overview of the new opportunities and challenges opened by applying Automotive Ethernet in in-vehicle Networks. We will describe how the NXP portfolio of PHYs and Switches addresses these challenges and outline the new opportunities arising from the combined portfolios after the merger. The presentation will also address ways of using the Automotive Ethernet portfolio in the industrial and automation markets. Watch Video Presentation

The session will provide an overview of the most recent developments to support Radar systems in the frequency range from 76 GHz up to 81 GHz. High level block diagrams and key specifications of NXP multi-channel transceivers will be presented. It will also be discussed how the NXP transceiver solutions can help to enable modern low power consumption sensors with robustness against frequency interference, small size, and high-performance due to scalability. In combination with NXP Radar micro-processors and mircro-controllers typical Radar system architectures will be introduced. Especially for the development of small and compact cocoon, nano radar sensors an example is presented which shows the combinations of NXP Radar tranceivers, NXP Radar processors and NXP power supply solutions. The presentation will also give an outlook to technology trends and future upcoming NXP Radar solutions.

V2X technology has the potential to drastically reduce road accidents and improve the traffic flow by fusing in-car sensor data with data obtained from other road users and from the surrounding infrastructure - visibly or unvisbily and far beyond the driver's line of sight. Vehicle to cloud data communication provides a pathway for anonymous data collection and dissemination. When the true potential for V2X is realized and it becomes a true part of the vehicle safety system it is vital that the authenticity and security of data are guaranteed. In addition, the vehicle control units that coordinate active stability systems must be protected against external influences that might subvert the mechanisms design. This presentation will explore the various security countermeasures needed to make V2X a safe and secure technology for the future. Watch Video Presentation

Many embedded projects are in safety-critical applications, particularly within automotive applications. This session will take a look at the advantages of a functional safety-certified toolchain. Additionally, we will examine how some of the inherent dangers of C/C++ can be neutralized by adopting a coding standard and accompanying coding guidelines with static code analysis. We will draw inspiration from the MISRA rule set and from the requirements and recommendations of the ISO 26262 safety standard, and show numerous examples of what can go wrong.
