This session will provide tips that will help speed up silicon bring up of the QorIQ LS1043A processor.

The session will provide an overview of the most recent developments to support Radar systems in the frequency range from 76 GHz up to 81 GHz. High level block diagrams and key specifications of NXP multi-channel transceivers will be presented. It will also be discussed how the NXP transceiver solutions can help to enable modern low power consumption sensors with robustness against frequency interference, small size, and high-performance due to scalability. In combination with NXP Radar micro-processors and mircro-controllers typical Radar system architectures will be introduced. Especially for the development of small and compact cocoon, nano radar sensors an example is presented which shows the combinations of NXP Radar tranceivers, NXP Radar processors and NXP power supply solutions. The presentation will also give an outlook to technology trends and future upcoming NXP Radar solutions.

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.

We will discuss how to make use of the secondary core with a FreeRTOS based firmware implementing the closed loop controller to keep the robot balanced upright. On the powerful main CPU complex, a dual Cortex-A7, Linux is running a Qt based user interface. We will go into details about the rpmsg/OpenAMP based messaging offerings provided by NXP. The robot demo application makes use of rpmsg to communicate between the two independently running processor cores and operating systems.

Companies and consumers alike are excited about the opportunities offered by the IoT and the Smart Home. Concerns on user-friendliness and security are however holding potential customers back: how can I install it? , what if my neighbor hacks into my network? NFC technology addresses these cost, ease of use and security concerns by offering short distance out-of-band pairing capabilities that reduce the complex commissioning system to a simple 'tap'. And with NXP's connected NFC tag technology, IoT nodes of all sizes do not even need to be powered. Watch Video Presentation
