  The Smart Grid Revolution: NXP's Vision for an Intelligent Energy Future

  Aug 18, 202621 minS1

  The Future Power Grid: From Centralized Control to AI-Powered Microgrids (with Marcelo Marques) Kyle Dando and Bridgette welcome repeat guest Marcelo Marques from NXP's power and energy team to discuss why the power grid is often taken for granted and how it must evolve. Marcelo explains the grid's real-time balancing act—where generation must instantly match demand—using examples like England's halftime tea surge and the 2012 India blackout. As renewables, bidirectional EV charging, home batteries, solar, and massive data centers proliferate, the grid shifts from one-way centralized control to a distributed "matrix" of microgrids, increasing complexity and unpredictability. He outlines four key challenges: real-time edge intelligence and its cost, security, interoperability, and functional safety. Marcelo describes how NXP's portfolio addresses these needs and highlights a CES microgrid demo where coordinated AI agents optimize charging and energy use across buildings, vehicles, and devices.

  From Graveyard Reflections to NXP Revelations

  Aug 11, 202614 minS1

  Edge Verse Techcast: Perspective, MCUXpresso SDK LTS Update, Tool Time, and MCUXpresso for VS Code Benefits Kyle hosts the EdgeVerse Techcast solo while Bridgette is sick, sharing a personal lesson from college based on Og Mandino's The Greatest Salesman in the World (scroll five): when feeling overwhelmed, walk through a graveyard to gain perspective and gratitude. He then shifts to NXP updates, noting active work on MCUXpresso SDK long-term support patch updates, with the LTS release scheduled for October following the 26.09.00 release. Kyle also highlights "Tool Time," a monthly 15-minute LinkedIn series on the NXP Developer Zone page featuring 10-minute tool demos such as the SEC Tool and GUI Guider. Finally, he outlines five benefits of MCUXpresso for VS Code: one-click installer, strong GitHub/SDK integration, Application Code Hub access, VS Code's fast editing and IntelliSense/Copilot support, and right-click integration with security and configuration tools.

  Unveiling Innovation: The NXP Remote I/O Platform and the Future of Industrial Automation

  Aug 4, 20269 minS1

  Remote I/O Is Becoming an Intelligent Edge Platform: Networking, Security, Diagnostics & NXP's RIOP Hosts Bridgette Stone and Kyle Dando discuss how remote I/O in industrial automation is evolving from a simple sensor/actuator interface into an intelligent edge platform as factories become more connected and intelligent. Guest David Piskula from NXP explains that modern remote I/O must support deterministic industrial Ethernet (EtherCAT, PROFINET, Ethernet/IP), high-accuracy measurements, diagnostics, cybersecurity, predictive maintenance data, and future software updates, while meeting shorter development cycles. He highlights integration as a key challenge and describes NXP's Remote I/O platform (RIOP), combining the i.MX RT1180 Crossover MCU, industrial networking via the NXP Port Industrial Networking Suite, precision analog front ends, and software/reference applications to reduce engineering effort. Listeners are directed to nxp.com/riop, the PLC IO kit quick start guide, and Application Code Hub examples, including an out-of-box evaluation and a multi-protocol repository.

  Audit Alert: Andrei's Expert Take on NXP's Software Suite

  Jul 28, 202623 minS1

  Arrow Audits NXP MCUXpresso: eIQ Time Series Studio, GUI Guider & VS Code Transition Tips Bridgette Stone and Kyle Dando host an "audit" of NXP's MCUXpresso ecosystem with Arrow Electronics FAE Andrei Cosara, who shares feedback from working with developers across industries. Andrei highlights eIQ Time Series Studio as a game-changing way to build lightweight edge machine learning models from existing unidimensional sensor data, including new waveform snippet labeling for classification. He then shares praise for GUI Guider's easy drag-and-drop workflow and well-structured generated code. He notes challenges customers face transitioning from MCUXpresso IDE to MCUXpresso for VS Code, recommending built-in VS Code AI agents to diagnose errors and ramp faster. He also describes common AI/ML part-selection difficulties and emphasizes Arrow's value through workshops, free engineering services, and the Digital Test Drive remote board farm for evaluating and benchmarking models on real hardware.
