BCD-Atlantik will be hosting workshops at the IWM Duxford, geared at helping designers get the best performance from two key embedded module lines.

The first workshop will be held on May 8, 2018 and is based around the latest DIGI ConnectCore 6UL IoT development kit and YOCTO Operating System.

BCD says this will be a hands-on event, intended to assist in developing customised Linux distribution for the NXP i.MX6(UL) based ARM Cortex-A7 and Cortex-A9 Multi Core System on Modules (SoM) and SBCs.

Starting with an overview of the Digi ConnectCore i.MX6UL and i.MX6 embedded product benefits, the workshop aims to cover an introduction to the Yocto Operating System, Digi TrustFence Security Framework Overview, ConnectCore for i.MX6UL SBC Express and Yocto Hands-on Training.

Delegates should learn about the development environment setup and first steps, U-Boot Bootloader, application development using Eclipse or QT Creator, creating a custom Yocto layer and adding a custom application to a project, OS customisation and Device Tree Introduction and Kernel configuration

On May 9, 2018, the second workshop aims to cover designing Embedded Wi-Fi on the Lantronix – xPico 200 Series. The goal is to assist designers to deliver seamless and secure Ethernet, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity. The Lantronix xPico 200 series is designed to allow OEMS to build and deploy their smart connected products with reduced complexity and lower risk.

This day’s workshop will commence with an introduction to Lantronix and tits products oxPico 240/250 and the MACH10 IoT application development and deployment platform. Two hands-on sessions will take place during the day.

Session 1 aims to cover, oLab1: FW upload + secure boot, oLab2-4: Tunnel (Serial to Ethernet, serial to WLAN0, serial to AP0), oLab5: Ethernet to WLAN0 bridge, oLab 6-8: Web manager, customise web page and multi user settings, demo MACH10 (OEM, portal, end user view), FW upload, remote reboot.

Hands-on session 2 intends to demonstrate Lab9: MACH10 end user view and Lab 10: SDK (Hello world, TCPtunnel)

Both workshops open at 9:00am for registration with a 9:30am start, Q&A sessions will follow each session at around 4:30pm.
