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).

This presentation will look at the lessons learned from vehicle hacks and introduce a whole vehicle multi-layered approach to automotive security. In 2015, automotive security was rarely far from the headlines of technical and public media, with a number of very public hacks of some major vehicle brands. The result was a renewed focus on vehicle security. There will be an introduction to the NXP portfolio of automotive products from microcontrollers, secure transceivers and secure elements and how they all fit together to offer a complete security solution for connected vehicles today and tomorrow.

The hottest topic in automotive design today is the concept of the eCockpit -- where all visual functions in the car are controlled across multiple screens and fully integrated for the driver’s convenience. The key technology that enables eCockpit to run on a single processor also offers new capabilities in industrial, embedded and consumer products such as drones, manufacturing HMI interfaces and smart displays. This class will cover the fundamental technologies and architectural techniques in the i.MX 8 processor which enables rich eCockpit functionality, how NXP has implemented the world’s most significant full chip virtualization capabilities in an ARM-based processor and breaks down the eCockpit demo from the Tech Lab.  Watch Video Presentation

The two big topics in automotive electronics development in the last five years has been functional safety and security. Sometimes these terms are used synonymously, sometimes completely separately. This thought provoking presentation will explore where the two topics overlap, where they result in contradictory requirements, and indeed whether they are complementary. Watch Video Presentation

During this course we will review how to use the new analog Freedom board FRDM-12XSF available for 12V eXtreme Switch devices thanks to the analog Processor Expert software and Kinetis Design Studio component. This training will cover full system enablement from hardware (MCU + analog), software (MCU agnostic) perspectives and demonstrate how to quickly drive different type of loads (resistive, inductive and capacitive). Thanks to its processor eXpert component, the interaction between MCU, sensor and our device will be facilitate, this training will cover different exercise to make the trainee fully enabled.

With the very public hacks of some major vehicle brands in 2015, there is a renewed focus on vehicle security. There is a large range of vehicle electrical architectures, with significant regional variations, but there is an acceleration towards a domain orientated secure network. This presentation will look at the growing importance of the central gateway in a world of increased connectivity and security. As Ethernet becomes more prevalent, the topic of IP routing & firewall will be introduced and its role in adding another security layer. Finally, the role of the central gateway in enabling OTA software updated beyond the telematics unit, to the entire network will be presented.

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 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.
