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.

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

This hands-on class will walk you through developing two separate applications. First, learn how to leverage a FlexIO driver to add some autonomous monitoring and reaction to sensor data. Secondly, learn how to create a complex parallel interface (TFT driver).

Many embedded projects are in safety-critical applications, particularly within automotive applications. This session will take a look at the advantages of a functional safety-certified toolchain. Additionally, we will examine how some of the inherent dangers of C/C++ can be neutralized by adopting a coding standard and accompanying coding guidelines with static code analysis. We will draw inspiration from the MISRA rule set and from the requirements and recommendations of the ISO 26262 safety standard, and show numerous examples of what can go wrong.

QorIQ DPAA has a hardware accelerate decompression and compression engine (DCE) that can be used for storage market and bandwidth optimization applications.

Plasma cleaning has been used extensively in the IC packaging industry for cleaning assembly materials to improve its cleanliness for the subsequent process, and enhance the overall package or device reliability. One of the challenges is how to establish the compatibility of the cleaning process as various materials are exposed to the plasma. The control of contamination is very important with the recent use of Cu wires in IC packaging. Bond pad corrosion has been found to be critical in device and package reliability and this is one of the main issues that will be tackled in this paper. Evaluation results that include surface analysis and reliability testing using the different plasma cleaning configurations and its other applications will be presented.
