Using Accelerometers, Magnetometers, Gyroscopes, gathering Sensor data can be tricky and not straight-forward. In this class, we will go into a Sensor Deep-Dive, where each sensor will be visualized and explained in detail. When collecting data there are several things that can make collecting the data easier, more efficient, and avoiding erroneous data all together. We will have several demonstrations and examples to show the pitfalls and successes of collecting data.

The innovative LPC portfolio of MCUs, based on ARM® Cortex®-M cores, continues to expand to support next-generation performance, power, security and connectivity needs for many applications.

Electronics are part of everything we do nowadays, whether we are talking about mobile gadgets or a space rocket. Regardless of the complexity of the products designed, at some point, they have to be brought to actuality, so they have to be manufactured. This session addresses the impact of some of the most important printed circuit board attributes that affect quality, cost, and lead time.

This session will cover emerging trends in crypto acceleration APIs, their benefits, and NXP's roadmap for supporting them. Watch Video Presentation

This session will provide an overview of the QorIQ security accelerator block, its device driver, and its use in IPsec and SSL acceleration. Watch Video Presentation

Though cryptographic algorithms like AES are crypto-analytically secure, real implementations must at least be tested against logical attacks such as API misuse. Smart cards and similar devices also face fault and side channel attacks. Such attacks exploit physical effects to manipulate the device or learn about secret information. As these attacks are very critical, customers in the smart card industry ask for third party evaluation (e.g. Common Criteria or EMVCo) to confirm high assurance levels. If passed, a certificate is issued by a trusted party. With the rise of the IoT, physical attacks and respective third-party witnessing of resistance might soon be relevant there as well.
