New entrepreneurs and innovators today can quickly prototype, thanks to the new Maker movement. This seemingly endless world of possibilities, however, hits a strong limitation when it comes to manufacturing a product in mass production, due to a missing step, or link, between making a proof of concept and manufacturing it. This speech, will show how SECO picked up on the gap between Makers and Industry, by fusing its embedded expertise with the newly acquired Maker Movement experience, through its community movement and board: UDOO.

This session will highlight the advantages of Bluetooth® smart mesh technology for the Internet of Things (IoT). It will focus on the ease of use and low cost of deployment of a mesh network in IoT applications, using an interactive smart mesh implementation on Kinetis KW41Z MCU as a demo vehicle, thus helping demonstrate how this device is an ideal solution for smart mesh customers.

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

The LED drivers provide all the necessary functionality to ensure a compact, low-cost and flexible design for advanced LED headlights. In this session learn how our LED drivers address the key trends and current and future requirements for advanced LED headlights. See the demo for your self! Watch Video Presentation

Low-power is a system level challenge. Unfortunately, there is not just one feature that resolves the challenge. With LPC, we will focus on delivering low-power capabilities across a broad range of products: Low-power boot, intelligent clocking, ultra-efficient processing, flexible low-power modes and autonomous, low-power peripherals. In this session, we focus on each one of these capabilities, how they address the challenges of designing low-power applications and highlight differentiators LPC MCUs offer the low-power market. What's the most efficient way to communicate with peripherals, how to optimize data transfers, the effects different power modes and clock gating functions have on energy. This session discusses these topics plus explains how one can leverage the unique modes and features available on LPC MCUs to improve energy efficiency of IoT applications and other embedded systems.

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.

IoT applications often share some basic requirements; the applications themselves need to be small, fast and low-energy, while the time to market should be as short as possible. To help you meet these demands, a wide range of possibilities and techniques for performing smart debugging of code is actually already at your fingertips. At this session you will learn how to use debug features like various types of complex breakpoints, macros, stack checking, event logging, live data, profiling and runtime code analysis in a smart way for comprehensive debugging of your code.

One particular wave of innovation in the world of ARM is an increase in heterogeneous CPU designs, where different classes of ARM processor are implemented on the same device. NXP are at the forefront of this wave. For example the i.MX 7 family of devices implement both a Cortex-A7 application processor and a Cortex-M4 embedded processor. In this session we will discuss the challenges that such a design brings to a developer, as well as how with DS-5, ARM gives you a powerful tool to address them.

Saving Space in your Reference Design with eSIM. eSIM (eUICC) and what it means for chipset makers and device OEMs. Today consumers want bigger screens, more battery life, more storage, more rich media content etc. The (R) evolution that eSIM will create is unique, disruptive and can be compared to the time when black and white TV went to Color. The OEMs are adopting slowly, but like the days of B&W TV, the networks weren’t ready, and neither are the Mobile operators in the case of eSIM!

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.
