As IoT technologies and markets explode, selecting the right set of tools to get an idea off the ground as quickly as possible becomes a necessity for modern developers, PixiePro has the right set of performance and connectivity options to empower your next big project.

This session will provide a detailed introduction to NXP's HomeKit Software Development Kit (SDK) architecture, APIs and code adaptors. Through hands-on examples, you will learn accessory profile configurations, how to integrate with accessory application software, and how to build and debug a demo accessory (Restricted to verified MFi licensees only).

This hands-on workshop provides a detailed architecture description of Thread technology and wireless mesh networking. The main Thread concepts will be reviewed and analyzed thoroughly. The attendee will have a deep understanding of the main concepts and how these are mapped to the NXP software API. The session will close with hands-on training to enable the attendee to understand software usage and configuration, low-power features and security concepts.

There are many variables to consider when implementing and integrating solid state RF power into a cooking appliance. Cavity size and shape, RF feed type, power, thermals, and configuration all factor into design consideration. This session will cover key consideration and methods of simulating to achieve better system design. Watch Video Presentation

NFC pairing makes life in a multi-device world more convenient. Tap-to-pair has become a common habit when connecting an NFC-enabled smartphone conveniently to a wireless speaker. Bringing this experience to the next level, even a multi-speaker audio system can be set up with NFC. If all speakers are equipped with an NFC chip, you simply tap one speaker to another to establish the Bluetooth® connection. That's what we call a true wireless stereo system - and it works with any phone, no matter if it is NFC-enabled. Same use case can be shown with NFC headsets. The workshop will guide participants through the implementation of an NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing use case. All participants should bring an NFC Enabled Android Device running Android version (Kit Kat) 4.4x or higher. In addition please install "NFC TagWriter" and "NFC TagInfo" from the Google Play Store.
