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

Aimed to be a hands-on the exercise would consist in using a vision processor to run CNN on various pictures to recognize traffic signals (Stop, Turn, Yield, etc). First we will cover basic concepts on machine learning for the algorithms to be used. After the class part is over, we will use a vision processor to run CNN to recognize between traffic signs and no traffic signs.

Through NFC functionality your app can even read out data and store new data to a MIFARE card. Holistic user experience - just a tap away. Watch Video Presentation

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

When adapting Android to a custom product, system updates are a very important matter. Fortunately Android provides a reliable update mechanism which can also be customized to your needs. Learn how to use it and/or implement some customizations from the recovery image to the OTA client application. A demonstration will be featured showing different use cases on i.MX6-based hardware.

This session will cover overview of porting Ethernet driver and debug procedure in U-Boot and also show the introduction on auto-update command. Watch Video Presentation

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.

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).

A modern car is more than just transport, it provides comfortable heating and cooling, navigation systems, entertainment systems, and a lot of data about the car's health and performance. Including how well you are conserving fuel or when to seek service. All of this is a challenge to present to the driver and passengers, without distraction to driving, under all conditions from bright daylight to the dark of night, in any temperature. We talk about both Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) and Light Emitting Diode (LED) component solutions that keep your dashboard simple, readable, and helpful. Watch Video Presentation

In this section, NXP (SIP) will introduce the key products surround the USB Type-C connectors. The section will covers Power Delivery Controller, Power Delivery PHY, CC logic controller, high speed switch and high speed redriver. We will go over NXP Type-C hardware architecture, differentiation and product advantage.

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.
