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

Experience the power of market leading real time operating system, FreeRTOS and Kinetis MCUs. Learn with experts about the FreeRTOS and how to enable FreeRTOS on Kinetis MCU's: Creating a Kinetis SDK project with FreeRTOS and Kinetis Design Studio, configure it for best code size and performance, debug it with Kernel Awareness in Eclipse and how to get detailed application and systems performance data using FreeRTOS+Trace performance analysis tools.

Many customers struggle getting their first GUI design running, and often this results in schedule and budget problems. This class covers the issues and SOLUTIONS required to get a Graphical User interface up and running. We provide solutions to standard embedded communication requirements like Ethernet, USB, Wi-Fi, and Serial. We present a Case Study of a new product using a touch screen GUI, LEDs and audio to communicate the fluid level and temperature of a beverage container back to the user. We cover the pros and cons of developing your own software or of using proven off-the-shelf solutions based on standard building blocks. We also address the buy vs. make hardware decision and look at time to market and risk factors. The class ends with a demonstration of the solution implemented with an off-the-shelf NXP LPC microcontroller based hardware module and simple custom expansion board.

This presentation will demonstrate the capabilities of the new i.MX 7 System-on-Chip, a hybrid solution containing a Cortex-A7 processor and a Cortex-M4 processor. Particular attention will be given to the hardware modules and software counterparts allowing both cores to communicate with each other. This hybrid architecture will be highlighted through various potential use cases/product scenarios and a Qt powered application running on top of Linux along with FreeRTOS will be showcased, focusing on asymmetric processing.

To use the processor in an integrated design is one way. To use an embedded module is another way and will speed up the design, reduce the design risk and lower the design cost. What support will be offered by the different module suppliers? What limitations and restrictions are there, if you use an embedded module? A market overview and guideline to select your embedded module supplier.

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.

Near Field Communications (NFC) is appearing on many new smartphones, and offers secure money transactions (Apple Pay and Google Wallet) and convenient access to public transport or even your hotel room. NXP's NFC receiver is a key component that enables mobile NFC hardware. Today we'll talk about how to get more from your NFC experience by boosting the Smartphone battery voltage, or reducing the NFC antenna size - for more stylish slim phones - while not upsetting other circuits in the phone with unwanted RF noise.

The new USB TYPE-C and PD specification has brought the new possibilities on power implementation through USB port, that will give the end customer a very different experience. At the same time, the new specification has raised the requirements on the power components with higher voltage and higher current. Also the ability to swap current source and change output voltage makes the power structure design even more complex. In order to distribute power in a reliable way on TYPE-C port, NXP has developed a set of Power switches for it. Watch Video Presentation
