Ecotron Joins NXP Tech Days Irvine 2025
On September 9th, the Ecotron team had the privilege of participating in NXP Tech Days Irvine, part of NXP’s global training program that brings together engineers, product experts, and industry leaders for a day of in-depth learning and collaboration. The event combined technical sessions, hands-on workshops, and live demonstrations—fostering an atmosphere that was both highly professional and forward-thinking.
The agenda spanned a wide range of cutting-edge topics, from microcontrollers and applications processors to automotive innovations and next-generation sensors. Our team took part in sessions such as S32K5 Microcontroller Family: Shaping the Future of Zonal SDV Architectures, i.MX Applications Processor Portfolio for Industrial & IoT, and NXP Next Gen Sensors Overview. Each presentation underscored how NXP technologies are solving today’s design challenges while enabling breakthroughs in automotive, IoT, and industrial applications.
For Ecotron, these insights are invaluable. They not only strengthen our expertise in developing next-generation automotive electronics and intelligent systems but also align directly with our mission to deliver innovative solutions that empower the future of software-defined vehicles (SDVs) and connected technologies.
One of the highlights of Tech Days was getting to connect with our partners at MathWorks. We had the chance to meet with Himanshu Gulhane, Senior Technical Consultant at MathWorks, and check out their booth where they brought along a really engaging demo. Using MATLAB and Simulink, they showcased a real-time electric vehicle setup where BMS and motor control algorithms—developed in Simulink and deployed to NXP hardware—communicated over CAN with the NXP “gold box,” sending live data to AWS Cloud and visualizing it on Grafana dashboards. The system also enabled direct, real-time motor speed control from a Simulink host model on a laptop.
Beyond the technical side, the conversations reminded us of the value of partnership. Events like this are about more than just the tools on display; they’re about building relationships and learning how different parts of the ecosystem fit together. Seeing how MathWorks’ modeling and simulation platforms connect with hardware solutions, including our own work with EcoCoder, was a reminder of how collaboration pushes innovation forward.
At Ecotron, our connection to NXP technology runs deep. We integrate NXP’s advanced chips across many of our platforms—from the i.MX8QM powering controller development to the S32G processor at the heart of our EC2232G2B01 Central Computing Unit (CCU). These technologies are essential to delivering the powerful, efficient, and reliable systems that drive our advanced automotive solutions and support the demands of next-generation mobility.
NXP Tech Days Irvine was an outstanding experience for our team. The event offered insightful presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and valuable opportunities to connect with industry experts. We came away with fresh ideas, stronger relationships, and a deeper appreciation for the role NXP plays in enabling innovation. Events like these reinforce Ecotron’s commitment to learning, collaboration, and building the future of intelligent automotive systems alongside our partners.
