This paper will examine the use of an i.MX 6 IOT Gateway working together with a Cloud Services Platform (CSP), to collect and transmit data from a temperature sensor. The design options for seamless data transmission from device, to gateway, to cloud and then to a hand-held Smartphone will be considered and presented using Mentor Embedded Linux, Nucleus as well as Cloud Service Platforms.

Security is cited as one of the biggest obstacles preventing the IoT from reaching its potential. Learn how Trust Architecture in QorIQ processors can help you secure your IoT device, and provide end-to-end security for your IoT system - from the sensors to the cloud.

NXP offers commercial grade acceleration solutions for common networking applications in non-virtualized and virtualized environments. This session covers NXP’s acceleration solutions landscape on Layerscape and iNIC platforms. Layerscape provides acceleration solutions for Network and Security Applications, Switch Supplementary Applications and OpenFlow Based Applications leveraging LayerScape Accelerated Input Output Processor (LS AIOP).VortiQa-IAAS (Intelligent Application Acceleration Software) offers autonomous SSL processing (SSL termination) and SSL proxy capabilities and VortiQa-IVAS (Intelligent Virtualization Acceleration Software) offers an accelerated infrastructure for NFV (Network Functions Virtualization) to deploy and manage virtual networks and services in VNFs (Virtualized Network Function) on the QorIQ T2 based iNIC. VMM Offload is a NFV solution leveraging LS AIOP.

Virtual network functions offer a great deal of flexibility, allowing for dynamic provisioning of network services. Handling network services within a VM and meeting performance requirements can be challenging. It's essential to utilize specialized hardware accelerators to meet the desired performance targets. ODP/DPDK are becoming defacto standard for NFV abstracting the hardware accelerator interfaces from VNF applications. In order to leverage the data plane capability of underlying platform the hardware acceleration can be exposed to the VMs via proprietary interfaces through direct-assignment or standardized interfaces. In this session we discuss how we can leverage the hardware acceleration on QorIQ platforms for developing optimized virtual network functions with DPDK/ODP.

Exploration of the use cases and applications that are ideal for the DPAA2, including vCPE, UTM, the intelligent edge, Top-of-Rack switching and storage.

The AIOP C programmable packet engine is a fundamental component of the Data Path Acceleration Architecture (DPAA2). It provides customers with an opportunity to achieve the best performance per watt solution, by offloading routine packet processing tasks to the AIOP packet engine, while doing more complex processing on the ARMv8 cores. This sessions explores how customers can get to fast time-to-market with high performance, commercial grade acceleration packages from NXP.
