ODP and DPDK are open-source project that defines a standard set of APIs for data-plane to be used across the different network processor architectures. This session details how the standard DPDK and ODP APIs are being mapped to NXP data-path acceleration for specific packet processing elements (packet IO, classification, scheduling, crypto, etc.). It also propose various possible API extensions to get additional performance on NXP SoCS. This presentation will cover how the ODP and DPDK can provide the necessary infrastructure for virtualized environments.

Lecture on NFC commissioning and various use-cases NFC enables in Smart Home/IoT to save cost and enable convenience. NFC gives best of user experience for installing devices in Smart Home & Buildings and in-addition also useful for Diagnostic, de-commissioning, OTA upgrade and various other useful features.

Introduction to QN9020 development board and SDK and design with QN9020 for wearables and IoT devices plus integration NXP BLE features into iOS or Android app.

We'll walk through the available tools and middleware for rapid development of graphics applications across multiple operating systems, and look at advanced profiling and debugging of the rendering subsystems on the i.MX 6 and i.MX 8 applications processors.

Learn how Qt for Device Creation may be used to create advanced user interfaces in a few simple steps. Qt is a cross-platform C++ framework that offers tools to create modern and fluid user experiences. The Qt framework may utilize the OpenGL ES capable i.MX6 or perform simplified rendering for the new i.MX7. We will take a look at Qt and use Qt for Device Creation to develop a GUI application optimized for projects requiring low power and real-time tasks which are suitable for wide-range of industrial applications, while keeping advanced security features to be used in IoT applications—all with confidence and convenience. Attendees will discover how easily it is to enable a low power device with performant GUI effects. This evolution requires virtually no changes to the software or hardware -- made possible by the Qt Framework and standardized pin-compatible computer modules from Toradex.

NFC pairing makes life in a multi-device world more convenient. Tap-to-pair has become a common habit when connecting an NFC-enabled smartphone conveniently to a wireless speaker. Bringing this experience to the next level, even a multi-speaker audio system can be set up with NFC. If all speakers are equipped with an NFC chip, you simply tap one speaker to another to establish the Bluetooth® connection. That's what we call a true wireless stereo system - and it works with any phone, no matter if it is NFC-enabled. Same use case can be shown with NFC headsets. The workshop will guide participants through the implementation of an NFC, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi pairing use case. All participants should bring an NFC Enabled Android Device running Android version (Kit Kat) 4.4x or higher. In addition please install "NFC TagWriter" and "NFC TagInfo" from the Google Play Store.

Designer have a simple way to achieve functional safety standards with NXP's functional safety microcontroller portfolio. During this session we will cover how functional safety applies to both the automotive and industrial markets and the support NXP offers in each step. Watch Video Presentation

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.

If you may risk a dead battery in your Smartphone, table PC, or digital smart watch, or you get tangled up with the wrong charger cord on your nightstand or office desk, the simplicity of a wire-less charger is your dream come true! But wireless chargers need a lot of technology and are not created equal. NXP's family of Transmitter and Receiver components offer solutions for both the Qi and Rezence standards. We take a look at both and offer some practical hardware solutions to cut that cord. Watch Video Presentation

All MOSFETs are NOT the same, a truism particularly relevant to motor control. The session will explain how feedback from 50+ companies active in this field has given rise to NXP’s unique MOSFET portfolio and roadmap designed specifically for battery-powered motor control applications. From drones and power tools, to vacuum cleaners and electric lawnmowers, NXP now offers exceptional power components to compliment the company’s microcontroller products. The latest 300A MOSFETs and example Freedom board designs will be demonstrated. Watch Video Presentation
