Safety critical systems, whether in avionics, automotive, and medical applications are built on requirements. Today the complexity of these systems in each market is expanding at an exponential rate. Combine that with compressed product development schedules and the need for a strong requirements fo...

As connected devices become more prevalent, industrial systems are growing and advancing at an unprecedented rate, exposing networks that have otherwise been isolated from attacks. This has created an enormous risk for businesses operating industrial processes and placed an emphasis on the need for...

Embedded systems and medical devices continue to go down the same path - choosing the most appropriate processor; finding a secure operating system; building a simple user interface; and so on. In this E-cast we will touch on all of these facets, one by one. First, the list of questions that surroun...

Putting together the various pieces of an IoT system is like assembling a jigsaw puzzle. But it's a finite task that most engineers can get through. When it comes to the operating system, other runtime software and the development tools available, here are seemingly endless possibilities. Hence, on...

The Software Foundation for Developing Next-Generation Autonomous Systems. In order for autonomous cars to become mainstream, these vehicles must intelligently connect and communicate not only within their own complex vehicle systems but with the external world as well. We'll examine the intricacies...

While we can't build your complete system, we can take you through some of the key stages that'll put you well on the way toward finishing your design. In Day 2 of this three-day class, we'll look at the common subsystems with an IoT edge device and what you need to know to connect to the Fog and th...

All processors are the same, right? Well, not exactly. In fact, they vary greatly in terms of price, performance, power consumption, and a host of other features that can make or break your design. In Day 1 of this three-part class, we will go over different design requirements and where the Intel A...

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ZigBee, cellular, LPWAN, and a growing number of other wireless technologies are all crowding into the IoT space looking to connect their share of billions of edge devices. But you can't wait for the protocol "standards wars" to be decided - you need to get to market quickly with d...

Look under the hood of many IoT solution providers and you'll find incomplete solutions. Shortcomings are commonly related to device manageability, security, analytics, integration with business applications, and centralized management of enterprise applications --particularly for industrial compani...

Software plays a pivotal role in the operation of life-critical medical devices, so much so that software can be thought of as the lifeblood of a medical device. Make the right choice and your real-time operating system (RTOS), HMI and custom hardware will work in perfect unison. A poor choice of s...

ISO 26262 is the de facto safety standard for road vehicle electronic systems development and production. This comprehensive ten-part standard applies to all elements of vehicle design including functional safety, system development, hardware, software, supporting processes and more. Although it ca...

Military signal intelligence (SIGINT) and image processing applications require the processing of very large data sets to predict and evaluate future courses of action. Government researchers such as the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Synthetic Environment for Analysis and Simulations (SEAS)...

Today's design engineers are inundated with IoT products but most of these products only deliver part of the solution. Their features sets can differ greatly and often you don't know what you have (or don't have) until it's too late.

Powerful computer hardware with multiple cores and multiple graphic displays are making an impact in every embedded industry, especially automotive. Virtualization of operating systems and services seems like a natural progression to run on this hardware. But how do you do this properly? Safely? S...

Automotive and industrial gateway applications require the integration of IoT connectivity, hardware security and functional safety. The MPC5748G from NXP is ideally suited for these applications and this technical presentation will showcase these features using the associated DEVKIT-MPC5748G develo...

Class 3 will delve into mitigating software supply-chain risk by implementing a thorough security audit process of one's software, which has become more critical as more code is being "leveraged" as opposed to written. We will discuss potential risks of leveraged code: previously trusted legacy code...

Class 2 will be a follow-on topic to class 1, where we will discuss the concept of concurrency. It's clear that today's developers need to be designing more efficient and higher performing applications using multi-threading, and testers need to understand how to efficiently pinpoint potential race c...

In this class, we will teach software developers, testers, and analysts how taint analysis can identify exploitable areas within an application and/or system that could be used as an entry point by a hacker. Using IoT as our example, we will help perform proper taint analysis, evaluating how data mo...

Hardware hacking and attacks against embedded systems are no longer limited to hobbyists who simply want to have fun making products do things they were never intended to do. Nation states, criminal organizations, and others looking to maliciously subvert, monitor, manipulate, or intentionally damag...

Understanding how to scale IoT applications from prototype to production is a critical component to IoT deployment success. Part I of our IoT scaling panel discussed scaling by sensors, performance, users, and geography. In part II of our IoT Panel Discussion our industry experts will pick an IoT in...

The internet of things has been a hot topic for past few years. Proof of concepts are rising in many industries. However, for a mass implementation in industrial playing field there are some big challenges still. Common ones are: different communication protocols, different stake holders, and presen...
