Today’s automotive designs must contend with a variety of challenges including scalability, security, software integration and the increased use of different radio technologies. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Fredrik Lonegard from u-blox, Patrick Stilwell from NXP and Amelia Dalton explore how the use of modules can help address a variety of automotive design challenges and the benefits that ublox’s JODY-W3 host-based modules can bring to your next automotive application.

Today’s intelligent connected vehicle designs are smarter and safer than ever before and this has a lot to do with a rapidly increasing technological convergence of sensors, machine learning, over the air updates, in-vehicle high bandwidth networking and more. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Brian Carlson from NXP about NXP’s new GoldVIP Platform. They examine the benefits that this kind of software integration platform can bring to automotive designs and how you can take a test drive of the GoldVIP for yourself.

Interoperability in our growing Internet of things ecosystem has been a challenge for years. But the new Matter standard is looking to change all of that. It could not only make homes smarter but our design lives easier as well. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Sujata Neidig from NXP examine how Matter will revolutionize IoT by increasing interoperability, simplifying development and providing a comprehensive approach to security and privacy. They also discuss what the roadmap for Matter looks like and how NXP’s Matter reference platforms can help you get started with your next IoT design.

Today’s IoT designs demand comprehensive security implementation, but incorporating a robust security solution in your design can be a complicated and time-consuming process. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Antje Schutz from NXP explore NXP’s EdgeLock Secure Element and Secure Authenticator Solution. They examine how this flexible, future-proof and easy to deploy solution can be a great fit for a variety of IoT designs.

With the sheer amount of automotive software cost and complexity today, we need a way to maximize software reuse across our process platforms. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton and Daniel Balser from NXP take a closer look at the software ecosystem for NXP’s S32K3 MCU. They investigate how real-time drivers, a comprehensive safety software platform, and high performance security system will help you tackle the cost and complexity of automotive software development.

Dual Core microcontrollers can bring a lot of benefits to today’s modern embedded designs in order to keep all of our design requirements in balance. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Patrick Kennedy from NXP about why newer design requirements for today’s connected embedded systems are making this balancing act even harder than ever before and how the i.MX RT1170 can help solve these problems with its heterogeneous dual cores, MIPI interface, multi-core low power strategy and SRAM PUF technology can make all the difference in your next embedded design.

Connectivity is going to play a vital role in the future of connected and autonomous vehicles. One of the keys to the success of our future automotive designs will be the incorporation of service-oriented gateways. In this episode of Chalk Talk, Amelia Dalton chats with Brian Carlson from NXP about the role that service-oriented gateways will play in the future of connected and autonomous vehicles and the details of NXP’s new S32G2 vehicle network processors that are going to make all of this possible.

Sometimes, the name says it all. NXP’s i.MX 7ULP is the lowest-power applications processor in the market, leveraging FD SOI process technology, heterogeneous domain computing and thoughtful SoC design. With both Arm® Cortex-A7 and Cortex-M4 cores, the i.MX 7ULP combines on-chip support for 2D and 3D graphics for modern graphics in wearable, portable, and unique IoT applications. The i.MX 7ULP is supported with a hardware development EVK and Linux® and Android® software. Interested? Watch the video to see what’s possible.
