2016 May 16 - 19 we will again be at the NXP Technology Forum. Formerly called ftf it is now the NXPFTF 2016 TechNexion will be there and show our latest small Modules or chat with you about our Software and where to get it. Of course we are also looking forward to see all the new cool things we are expecting NXP to show. Being exited to have our tiny PICO Module scaling from Cortex-A7 i.MX6 Ultralite over Cortex-A9 single/dual lite/quad or with the NXP i.MX7 solo and dual (both Cortex-A7) but also introducing our other solutions. I'm sure there are a lot of customer which will find our EDM solution the perfect fir for their needs: We are looking forward to meet yo and all the other amazing people and exchange our ideas! For sure it will be a great event, also if now under a slightly different name, but that's still ok  FTF, here we come!!

Adeneo Embedded, an embedded systems integrator in collaboration with Adeneo Mobility, now offers Qt 5.2-enabled Linux and Android solutions for Freescale® Semiconductor’s  i.MX 6 series processors. Adeneo Embedded, a  Freescale Connect Premier partner, has worked extensively with the  graphical and multimedia aspects of Freescale i.MX 6 series processors. Digia owns Qt technology and as its official partner for Qt, Adeneo Embedded is able to combine the graphics power of i.MX 6 series processors and the features of Qt to create “Qt enabled” board support packages(BSPs). The latest version of Qt supports features such as cloud services, support for Android, improvements to the JavaScript Engine/Qt Desktop support and new modules for connectivity and location. Qt technology is well suited to bring out the best multimedia capabilities of i.MX 6 series processors. Adeneo’s expertise in both of these technologies is showcased by some of the demos released on multiple operating systems running on Freescale i.MX 6 processors. By providing “Qt-Ready” Linux and Android BSPs for i.MX 6 series processors, Adeneo Embedded provides a unique out-of-the-box experience to OEMs for the development of advanced embedded devices with complex graphical user interfaces. Adeneo Embedded also completes these ready to use reference development solutions with a compelling automotive dashboard demo based on Qt technology integrated with Freescale’s i.MX 6 series processors: -       The Adeneo Embedded automotive dashboard demo running on Qt-enabled Linux on the  Smart Application Blueprint for Rapid Engineering (SABRE) platform based on i.MX 6 series highlights Qt cross platform compatibility along with Qt Embedded and Qt Mobile interoperability. -       The Adeneo Embedded automotive dashboard demo adapted to iOS/Qt-enabled Android showcases the portability of Qt in embedded and mobile environments. This QtQuick demo can run on Android (smartphone,  tablets and embedded platforms) and on iOS (iPhone and iPad). Adeneo Embedded Qt demos using Freescale platforms can be downloaded at http://www.adeneo-embedded.com/About-Us/Partners/Silicon-Vendors/Freescale-Demos Linux and Android reference BSPs using Freescale platforms will be available from: http://www.adeneo-embedded.com/Products/Board-Support-Packages/Freescale-i.MX6 For more information contact : sales@adeneo-embedded.com www.adeneo-embedded.com

Adeneo Embedded's senior engineer Tristan Lelong has put together this very useful whitepaper which describes the process of using USB loader to program a new i.MX6 platform.

iWave Systems, one of the early adopters of i.MX6 technology has designed i.MX6 based network switch/router solution. The task involved the design and development of a custom carrier card for our i.MX6 Qseven Module, the carrier card also consists of microcontroller. Together with the i.MX6 Qseven module and carrier card, the solution provides router capabilities. i.MX6 based Router Solution The carrier card was designed by iWave to meet the network Router requirement using iWave’s i.MX6 Qseven SOM. The Wi-Fi modules and GPRS modules (mini PCIe form factor) were interfaced to the PCIe 2.0. With the Gigabit Switch connector, the board supports four RJ45 connectors. Totally, there are six Mini PCIe slots available, accommodating both PCIe and USB signals. Microcontroller, in the carrier card, monitors parameters like voltage levels and power status. It also provides user interface by controlling appropriate LED’s to indicate which mini PCIe module is active. Block Diagram iWave’s i.MX 6 Qseven SOM is connected to the PIC Microcontroller through I2C. Connection is in such a way that iMX6 processor, as a Master and PIC microcontroller, as a Slave. Master and Slave to communicate effectively, iWave has designed a unique customized Communication Protocol in which master (iMX 6) will control the peripherals connected to slave (PIC) through protocol commands. iWave also implemented a software in our Qseven  module that enables the upgrade of the microcontroller firmware.
