Using Accelerometers, Magnetometers, Gyroscopes, gathering Sensor data can be tricky and not straight-forward. In this class, we will go into a Sensor Deep-Dive, where each sensor will be visualized and explained in detail. When collecting data there are several things that can make collecting the data easier, more efficient, and avoiding erroneous data all together. We will have several demonstrations and examples to show the pitfalls and successes of collecting data.

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.

This session will provide an overview of the QorIQ's hardware root of trust, key protection, and strong partitioning capabilities. Watch Video Presentation

FIDO Alliance is getting huge traction in the secure authentication world and the member count has surpassed 250 companies. Secure Element based FIDO U2F Authenticators add another security layer to consumer online authentication for cloud services and have been deployed for services like Google, Dropbox, Github, and others. These Authenticators are available in various form factors (Cards, USB keys, Fobs, Wearables and embedded) and support multiple interfaces like USB, NFC and BLE to connect users to critical online services using the FIDO authentication protocol. In addition to FIDO credentials, NXP provides vSE based multi-credential (PKCS#15, EAC, BAC, SAC, Mifare, PIV ) as well as an online services platform including eDoc derived mobile credential management connecting relying parties to enable secure mobile authentication for eGov services.
