This hands-on class will walk you through developing two separate applications. First, learn how to leverage a FlexIO driver to add some autonomous monitoring and reaction to sensor data. Secondly, learn how to create a complex parallel interface (TFT driver).

Embedded system developers often have the impression that adding wireless connectivity to a device is a “black art,” only suitable to be performed by hardware and software wizards. We'll provide an overview of the challenges to overcome when building connected devices. We'll show how GainSpan wizards have made adding wireless connectivity to NXP-based MCUs an easy task suitable for any muggle. We will showcase GainSpan’s easy-to-use Wi-Fi modules and features of the built-in networking stack and services that take the difficulty out of adding wireless connectivity to an embedded design using NXP MCUs by demoing wireless connectivity using the Kinetis SDK, i.MX Application processor platforms and LPCXpresso-based development board. Audience will leave the session with the knowledge and motivation to get started on integrating wireless connectivity into their next NXP-based embedded design.

Participants will use the Sensor Dataloggers from the previous class to gather data representing specific Sensor events and/or signatures. The participants will then use the Sensor Mining and Algorithm Development tool to create some simple algorithms for Accelerometers, Magnetometers, and Gyroscopes. By the end of this hands-on class, the attendees will have gathered Sensor experience using tools to quickly create and test algorithms.

Learn how QorIQ LS Series solutions are powering virtualized networking. Compelling cases will be made relative to performance (both by general purpose processor and offload capabilities – AIOP), scalability (NXP’s LS1 and LS2 solutions) and flexibility (Open NFV and Service Chaining under standard and open releases – Open Stack, Open Daylight, etc.) Watch Video Presentation

This session offers deep understanding of buck regulator performance and its reliability aspect. Buck regulator is the most widely used topology. Once the system power need is calculated, identifying the right power management chip is critical to a project's success. Session attendees should be able to identify and review critical DC-DC converter specifications and choose the best power solution based on their need. Calculating/selecting the passives and discrete around the buck regulator to create a robust design is discussed. Finally, measurement of key parameters to ensure the thermal, and loop stability is shared.

All MOSFETs are NOT the same, a truism particularly relevant to motor control. The session will explain how feedback from 50+ companies active in this field has given rise to NXP’s unique MOSFET portfolio and roadmap designed specifically for battery-powered motor control applications. From drones and power tools, to vacuum cleaners and electric lawnmowers, NXP now offers exceptional power components to compliment the company’s microcontroller products. The latest 300A MOSFETs and example Freedom board designs will be demonstrated. Watch Video Presentation
