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.

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

There is an increasing number of high/ultra high speed drives required by the industry. The theory offers the rules how to drive fast motors, however not all them are easily applicable in the real word. The significant issue is that the rules requires a pretty powerful device to be enough fast to control fast motors. The presentation offers the comparison of the theory with the experiences out of the customer project targeting the high speed motors controlled by a less powerful devices, where the less powerful controller is a pretty challenge within the overall task.

A look at new types of low- or battery-powered and space-constrained applications made possible be the latest innovations in communications processors, including portable storage, IoT Gateways and embedded control.

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.

The modern car has already gone beyond a simple mode of transportation to a platform for connectivity. The challenges of balancing performance and cost have the new requirement to meet security as the car becomes connected to the rest of the world. This class will review the security implications for CAN communications. The class will walk through a hands-on connecting a CAN network of two MPC5748G devices via secure CAN communications. Leveraging the SHE firmware on the MPC5748G HSM. CAN messages with be signed before transmission and authenticated on the receiving end using CMAC and AES-128.

Embedded Planet designed the new NXP LS1043 Gateway. Come learn the details of the hardware and software designed for this next generation residential Gateway.

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.
