12h00 - 12h30 The Nucleo Eco-system
Alessandro Cremonesi, STMicroelectronics - Central Labs
STM32 Nucleo board as the hub of applications related expansion boards eco-system.
12h30 - 13h00 Introducing Intel’s Edison board
Dr. Matthias Hahn, Intel
The Intel® Edison development platform is the first in a series of low-cost, product-ready, general
purpose compute platforms that help lower the barrier to entry for entrepreneurs of all sizes-from
pro-makers to consumer electronics and industrial companies working in the Internet of Things (IoT).
This brief workshop aims to give attendees a high level overview of the hardware and introduce them
to the software techniques and concepts for an x86 platform running Linux and interfacing I/O in
a non-real-time system
Session 4 - Small Form Factor Boards
13h30 - 14h00 The ARM module market story
Wolfgang Heinz-Fischer , TQ
The ARM module market is very fragmented. Different standards are addressing the market. How can
the developers find the right module and distinguish between marketing and technical arguments.
A comparison of the different modules and an orientation guide.
14h00 - 14h30 Computer on Module - Carrier Board Design Challenges
Patrick Dietrich, Connect Tech
Planning a computer on module carrier board design? The engineering team at Connect Tech have
completed dozens of carrier board designs for COM Express, Qseven and SMARC. We will share design
tips regarding: COM Express Power Schemes, adding external graphics processing capabilities or I/O
capabilities, USB 3.0 implementation with ruggedized interconnect and thermal heatplate/heatsink
selection.
Session 5 - Internet of Things: Chips, Tools & Software for Device Development
15h00 - 15h30 IzoT - the Multi Protocol Industrial IoT Solution
Hans Happ, Avnet Memec
IzoT from Echelon is offering a multi protocol solution for the Internet of Things (IoT) running
LonWorks, LonWorks IP, BACnet IP, BACnet MS/TP, IP via a single Chip. Except for BACnet MS/TP, where
an additional RS485 transceiver is needed, all the protocols are supporting the worldwide well excepted
78 kbit free topology twisted pair FT/TP network. This offers the possibility to support IPv4 and IPv6
addressing via a low cost and reliable well known cabling system.
15h30 - 16h00 A Gigabyter’s Guide to the IoT Galaxy
Amit Gattani, Micron Embedded Business
The massive economic value that the Internet of Things (IoT) is expected to create is predicated on
connecting billions of devices to a cloud-based infrastructure for real-time decision making that will
drive efficiency and productivity improvements in every aspect of our lives. Today, more than ever before,
memory products and solutions play an increasingly critical role in the IoT data- and decision-making
cycle of capturing, transmission, analysis, and storage. In this emerging landscape of IoT, embedded
designers face a tough balancing act of power, performance, form factor, cost, security, and reliabil-
ity requirements and trade-offs. It is critical for these designers to understand the memory solutions
and tools available to them, as well as the vital role that choosing the right memory solution plays in
successful build-out of the IoT infrastructure.
