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.

Detailed, hands-on training session for developing your application using the LPCXpresso ecosystem, including USB and Ethernet stacks, and free emWin libraries that embedded engineers need for successful USB application development.

From solving a simple problem - How did a 1980s TV 'talk' to your new Video Cassette Recorder (VCR)? - The Inter-Integrated Bus has solved many of today's low speed communication problems. Known affectionately as the I2C (pronounced eye-squared-see) bus, just two wires can connect a variety of electronic components that help us enjoy many products from Smartphones to Cloud Server farms. In industry the I2C bus is a simple and reliable link for sensors, indicators, human interface, and behind-the-scenes equipment set up and control. We talk about how it works, and what it can do for your next electronics project. Watch Video Presentation

Learn how to effectively use the integrated SPI-NOR flash on the SCM-i.MX 6Dual/6Quad. Topics covered will include the characteristics of a Linux image that will fit entirely into 16 MB SPI-NOR, and examples for how to leverage the SPI-NOR along with external boot sources such as eMMC. Attendees will also get to try multiple scenarios using the Quick Start board.

With the introduction of MIFARE Plus® EV1 NXP enables universities currently using MIFARE Classic to introduce latest technology in the existing system, upgrade the security of applications depending on their needs and complement daily use cases with mobile devices. Through the option to upgrade individual applications of your system fast security upgrades for critical applications are possible whereas non-critical applications remain in the existing mode without any changes. MIFARE Plus EV1 further includes the option to complement existing applications with mobile use cases. Through its enhanced possibilities MIFARE Plus EV1 based cards can now easily be integrated in cloud applications while maintain banking grade security.

By accurately modelling the i.MX 6, so that compiled code can be brought up on a Virtual Platform, great time savings can be made in a typical project design workflow, and a greater understanding of the available design space achieved. This paper looks at a multi-core Linux design, with a hosted application used to track the seabed depth, implemented on an X86 host. The design is simulated in near real-time, and detailed debug data is available both on the i.MX 6 and hosted software native-code application.

Learn how QorIQ processors and VortiQa software are enabling solutions for iNICs Smart NICs, UTM appliances and virtualized security applications.

This session will provide a detailed introduction to NXP's HomeKit Software Development Kit (SDK) architecture, APIs and code adaptors. Through hands-on examples, you will learn accessory profile configurations, how to integrate with accessory application software, and how to build and debug a demo accessory (Restricted to verified MFi licensees only).

This beginning hands-on session will walk you through the steps to configure the device and boot U-Boot. Learn how to configure the device reset control word (RCW), flash the device, and debug U-Boot. This session will use the CodeWarrior Development Studio for ARM®v8 ISA to boot the QorIQ LS1021A Reference Design Board (RDB).

You can eliminate much of the hardware design complexity by using NXP's Single Chip System Modules (SCM). Learn what you still need to know when designing hardware based on SCM.

QorIQ Configuration and Validation Suite (QCVS) is a collection of tools that are critical for board bring-up of designs using QorIQ System-on-Chip (SoC) processors. From configuration of the RCW, to configuration and validation of DDR and SerDes, the QCVS offers user-friendly, intelligent tools for your bring-up tool belt. Watch Video Presentation

The mil/aero industry is experiencing an increasing demand for COTS DO-254 safety critical solutions. Trends such as the digitization of cockpits, commercial technology complexity, and the use of common avionics subsystems in military and commercial aircraft have solidified the need for DO-254 compliance in military platforms. DO-254 certification was traditionally achieved using costly custom built systems; however, cost-effective COTS modules are now becoming the hardware of choice to reduce the applicant’s risk, time to market, and budget concerns while meeting stringent certification requirements. We will discuss the benefits and concerns of implementing COTS modules for DO-254 certification.

Charging smartphones without the need to plug in a charging wire increases convenience and enables on-the-move charging in public spaces. First generation wireless chargers consist of over 100 components and are too expensive for mass market adoption. The NXQ1TXH5 is a one-chip Qi low power wireless charging transmitter integrating all the digital, analog and power functions for a Qi wireless charger. The high integration enables a very low component count and an easy to design wireless charger. This also reduces the cost of a wireless charger by as much as a factor 3. The NXQ1TXH5 is a real digital plug & play platform without the need for external analog design effort. A 2-layer PCB with signal & power routing at the top layer and a full copper bottom layer for thermal performance is all you need. Connect power supply and decoupling at the input and an LC circuit at the output to transmit the power to the receiver, and your wireless charger is ready to go! Watch Video Presentation

While many look for hypervisor based solutions when separating multiple operating systems running on multiple cores in the new embedded devices from NXP, an easier solution is often overlooked. This session will describe ARM TrustZone as a technology currently found in the ARM Cortex A family of the devices, but being introduced by ARM in other variants. A few use cases will be presented - these include secure gateway on a Layerscape LS1021 device, and an automotive instrument cluster on an i.MX6 dual core device.
