As more and more individuals acquire automobiles and city populations increase, road way congestion worsens year-by-year. Traffic Congestion results in billions of dollars in lost productivity: individuals are confined to hours upon hours of menial vehicle operation in stop-go conditions. Solution: Advances in NXP's ADAS Radar, Vision, and V2X technologies can alleviate congestion and regain lost productivity - 1) reducing personal stress, 2) improving commuter productivity, and 3) reducing traffic accidents. The session will show how controlling driver response variance, (e.g. making acceleration, deceleration, and minimum safe driving distance constant), relieves congestion jamming conditions. The session concludes with a mapping of ADAS DSRC features to NXP devices. Watch Video Presentation

Virtual network functions offer a great deal of flexibility, allowing for dynamic provisioning of network services. Handling network services within a VM and meeting performance requirements can be challenging. It's essential to utilize specialized hardware accelerators to meet the desired performance targets. ODP/DPDK are becoming defacto standard for NFV abstracting the hardware accelerator interfaces from VNF applications. In order to leverage the data plane capability of underlying platform the hardware acceleration can be exposed to the VMs via proprietary interfaces through direct-assignment or standardized interfaces. In this session we discuss how we can leverage the hardware acceleration on QorIQ platforms for developing optimized virtual network functions with DPDK/ODP.

The QorIQ Communications portfolio has traditionally used Power Architecture® based cores. The latest QorIQ LS series of processors has expanded to use ARM® core technology. There are a lot of software-visible architectural differences between these two types of cores, and system software is dependent on the core architecture. If a system software developer who has experience with Power Architecture based devices transitions to ARM-based processors, the developer must understand the differences between the cores so that the software can be easily migrated from a Power Architecture core to an ARM core. This session compares these two core architectures and sheds light on how software can handle the differences. Watch Video Presentation

Countless devices are joining the Internet of Things (IoT) daily. It is a key requirement that the device architecture of the device itself is secure; above and beyond the mandatory connection privacy. Embedded devices also require a device security approach that can follow future security trends, changes, and threats throughout their entire product lifecycle. This session looks at reported cases of device vulnerability in the industry, available technology, and best practices for designing secure connected products. Based and built on the Digi ConnectCore for i.MX6UL connected SOM platform, and without the traditional burden of effort related to design and implementation.

New entrepreneurs and innovators today can quickly prototype, thanks to the new Maker movement. This seemingly endless world of possibilities, however, hits a strong limitation when it comes to manufacturing a product in mass production, due to a missing step, or link, between making a proof of concept and manufacturing it. This speech, will show how SECO picked up on the gap between Makers and Industry, by fusing its embedded expertise with the newly acquired Maker Movement experience, through its community movement and board: UDOO.

AC/DC converters need to provide a defined and safe supply voltage from AC mains, varying from 90 to 264 V AC. Key requirements are efficiency, no-load power consumption and size. A new requirement for wall chargers is communication to the mobile, enabling faster charging by changing voltage or current. Most common AC/DC topologies are flyback and resonant. A flyback converter features lowest cost, but magnetics size becomes larger at higher output power. In that case, resonant converters are preferred, although efficiency is lower at low loads. NXP has invented a resonant concept that overcomes this issue. The presentation will introduce the mentioned AC/DC technologies and NXP’s product advantages.
