The EdgeLock™ SE050 family provides a root of trust at the IC level. This CC EAL6+ certified secure element also supports compliance to standards such as ISO/IEC 62443 SL3. The EdgeLock SE050 stores the keys and credentials to manage authentication and access rights securely. But how are those credentials stored on the secure element? And what about changing or updating the credentials in a secure way in the field? Along with a demo consisting of various NXP components you will experience how to provision and change credentials on an EdgeLock SE050 for secure access for industrial and smart home applications. You will also learn about the different options to manage credentials and how to use NXP’s EdgeLock 2GO Managed Service to configure your IoT device. Following the demo we will go through the different HW and SW building blocks and explain how to implement such a use case based on NXP solutions. NXP components include: EdgeLock SE050 Secure Element, EdgeLock 2GO Service, i.MXRT1060 Crossover MCU, CLRC663 NFC Frontend, 88W8977 WiFi 4 and Bluetooth SoC (using PAN9026 module).

The biggest challenge in embedded GUI development is managing changes in design (iterations) that nearly all projects encounter. Historically, changes at the design level resulted in teams needing to hunt for and replace all changed assets manually within the project. This would result in development delays, changes being missed, coded behavior being lost, and ultimately, poor UX. Join this session to learn how customers from medical to automotive have leveraged Storyboard’s Rapid Design Import and Iteration Technology to streamline design changes and develop embedded GUI applications that provided outstanding user experiences while getting to market on a tight deadline. Presenters: Garry Clarkson, FAE, Crank Software Shelby Unger, MCU Ecosystem Product Marketer, NXP

There are many challenges in the automotive industry today to cost-effectively and widely access and the massive amount of data available in new vehicles. Vehicle data from dozens of sensors like camera, LiDAR, radar and inertial motion, along with operational data from vehicle ECUS can provide valuable real-time insights into vehicle driving environments and vehicle performance. Key vehicle data can be pre-processed on the edge in the vehicle and compressed up to 98% while maintaining high fidelity for advanced analytics and training/deploying machine learning models to continuously improve vehicles from design through their production lifecycle. In this session, we will identify the industry challenges and how a consortium of five industry companies formed The Fusion Project to provide a complete vehicle-to-edge data lifecycle that integrates machine learning training and deployment in a cost-effective way that reduces training time by 10x. Presenter: Brian Carlson, Director, Global Product and Solutions Marketing, Vehicle Control and Networking Solutions, NXP

Two key automotive transformation areas are connected and electric vehicles (EV) which will bring opportunities for new vehicle services and efficiencies that improve user experience and increase the efficiency of EVs to extend range. NXP has brought together our technologies and expertise in both of these areas, in collaboration with Amazon Web Services (AWS), to provide a vehicle-to-cloud solution to monitor and improve EVs. In this session, we will provide insights into the implementation of the Connected EV Management System based on the NXP GoldBox based on the S32G vehicle network processor for service-oriented gateways and the GreenBox based on the S32S for propulsion domain control, along with the key software and cloud technologies from AWS, and how they all work together to provide value propositions for connected EVs.
