Kyle Dando (00:11):
Hey everyone, and welcome back to the Edge TechCast.
This is your favorite placefor everything, nxp Software
tools and enablement.
I'm your co-host, Kyle Dando, andtoday we're shaking things up a
little with something different.
This is an open mic episode whereBridgette and I go a bit off
script to share updates, stories,and maybe even a few surprises.
Bridgette Stone (00:35):
And I'm Bridgette Stone, your other co-host.
Honestly, Kyle, I think this is agreat chance for folks to get to
know you just a little bit better.
You're more than just your dry humor,singing and obsession with VS code.
Right
Kyle Dando (00:50):
Well, time will tell about that, but I think it's fair that we
should turn the spotlight on you too.
Our listeners probably already like youmore than me, but let's just find out if
they still do after what we share today.
Bridgette Stone (01:02):
Deal.
And hey, beyond all the tech updates,this is also a chance to talk about
some of the other stuff we've beeninto, like our shared fitness journey.
Turns out debugging code and liftingweights both require some serious form.
Kyle Dando (01:16):
True, true.
Whether it's our SDKs or ourdeadlifts, we're all about
getting stronger every day.
So fair warning, you might hear a fewreps of fitness puns along the way.
Bridgette Stone (01:29):
All right, Kyle, since this is open mic, I'll
hand the mic over to you first.
What's been on your mind lately?
Anything you wanna sharewith our listeners?
Kyle Dando (01:38):
Oh, absolutely.
There are just a couple updatesI think that the developers
listening will really care about.
So this is a great opportunity.
First up, the MCUXpresso SDK25.06 preview just dropped.
Bridgette Stone (01:53):
Ooh, a preview.
Why should the people care about that?
Kyle Dando (01:57):
Well, that's a good question.
So this preview conceptmight sound familiar.
We actually introduced it wayback in our very first episode
where Jimmy Chen, outlined thearchitecture of our SDK changes.
So the idea is to give our developersearly access to the SDK updates
before the final production release.
(02:18):
With this 25.06 preview, developerscan see over 690 changes from the
previous release, and that's a lot oftransparency and it helps these customers
assess , how these updates might impacttheir code before things go live.
Bridgette Stone (02:35):
So it's like a heads up, test early, plan ahead.
But let me ask the obvious, if it'snot the production version, why
would someone wanna even use it?
Kyle Dando (02:45):
That's totally fair.
We always tell customers don't ship withthe preview version, but using it for
evaluation and an internal testing thatis going to be super helpful for them.
So the customer's gonna get twomonths of runway to adapt to the
changes before the productionrelease hits their stable code base.
(03:06):
And it's all about giving our customersa smarter, more agile way to sync
up with the NXP software releases.
Bridgette Stone (03:13):
Ahhh right, and I remember Jimmy also mentioned
there are two previews for everyquarterly release, correct.
Kyle Dando (03:20):
Absolutely.
So there are two previews thatproceed the quarterly release.
That cadence makes it real easy fordevelopers to stay in step with us.
It's almost like continuousintegration, but for our embedded SDK.
Bridgette Stone (03:35):
Very, very cool.
Okay, so that's update one.
What else you got on your list?
Kyle Dando (03:40):
All right.
Well, the second update is somewhataligned with that, but it kind
of ties in Visual Studio Code.
So this is an update that fixesa problem that a lot of our
developers have been waiting for.
in In the last release, peoplehad trouble creating freestanding
projects in visual studiocode using our new GitHub SDK.
Basically, they were forced to buildwhatever projects they wanted inside
(04:03):
of the NXP repo, which doesn'treally work well for most use cases.
Bridgette Stone (04:09):
I think I remember seeing some feedback on that.
Not ideal.
Kyle Dando (04:13):
True, true.
But again, we are making changesthat are going to improve
our customer's experience.
So this is just a growing pain.
But with the new 25.06 preview thatwe just talked about, it's fixed.
So again, developers can nowevaluate and create freestanding
projects, wherever they want.
It's a huge improvement, both fortheir workflow and the flexibility.
Bridgette Stone (04:38):
How do they access the fix?
Kyle Dando (04:40):
Well if, if they're using VS Code, all they have to do is select
the 25.06 preview from the repositoryversions, that are shown in the
dropdown when they import repository.
Or if the listener is a command linesavvy user, they can just make sure that
they check out the 25.06 preview branchand then they'll have the ability to run
(05:03):
the project Wizard in VS Code or they canuse our West Extension command to export
the project to a freestanding location.
Bridgette Stone (05:13):
Very cool.
So it sounds like this updateis packed with community
driven improvements as well.
Kyle Dando (05:18):
It is, it is, for example, another fix just
coming up in our next preview.
For preview number two, just 60 daysafter being reported, it shows the users
that we're able to get their feedbackand quickly get the fixes out to them.
And this is again, abouta freestanding project.
The ability to now add custom board filesor maybe a custom configuration file.
(05:43):
That had been an oversight.
Now what they're going to be able to dois select which files they want in that
freestanding project, even some of themore board and clock specific files.
It's a great example again, of howthis preview is showing the customers
how they can get quick fixes fromour responsive software team.
Bridgette Stone (06:03):
Love it and nice call back to our earlier
episodes too, SDK VS code.
You're stitching this together.
Kyle Dando (06:10):
Thanks, and as they love to say, I love it when a plan comes together.
So now that we've had fun with ourfirst updates from me, I think it's
fair that I turn the mic over to you.
So here's the open mic, and Ihope you're ready for the power.
Bridgette Stone (06:25):
Always.
So lately I've been spending time in theApplication Code Hub, and let me tell
you, the pace of updates has been amazing.
We're at 163 entries.
It's become such a rich resource fordevelopers with new examples dropping
daily that actually helps you get realworld projects kicked off right away.
(06:46):
We've launched 11 new FRDM Boardswith over a dozen coming soon.
Wink, wink.
Kyle Dando (06:51):
All right.
Well, do you have any favorites thatyou've been seeing come down the pipe?
Bridgette Stone (06:55):
Well, of course I've been borderline obsessed
with the FRDM-MCXN947 Board.
It's hands down one of myfavorite FRDM Boards so far.
Not only does it feature dual Cortex-M33cores, running up to 150 megahertz,
but it also includes NXP's EIQ,neutron NPU, in addition to other
(07:15):
on-chip accelerators, which makesit a great fit for AI/ML workloads,
especially tiny ML applications.
Kyle Dando (07:23):
All right, you and your FRDM Boards, I should have
seen that coming when I asked youwhat you're most interested in.
Bridgette Stone (07:29):
Hey, what can I say?
It's a powerhouse, and you know, I'm asucker for anything that can lift heavy.
This board's basically the barbellof embedded development, built
for performance, balanced forefficiency, and always ready to flex.
Kyle Dando (07:43):
So what you're saying is "this board spots itself".
Bridgette Stone (07:47):
Exactly USB-C, CAN FD, I3C, ethernet.
It's got industrial grade connectivitygains plus support for Arduino,
microbus, and PMOD add-ons.
So it's super flexible forall your project routines.
And yes, it pairs beautifully withthe Application Code Hub projects.
(08:07):
That's like your training program.
Kyle Dando (08:09):
Okay.
Okay.
I'm, I'm convinced.
I love the FRDM.
So it sounds like a prettystrong platform in every sense.
Bridgette Stone (08:16):
Totally.
It even comes with an onboard MCUlink debugger Flex io for LCD Control
and dual bank flash so you canupgrade firmware without downtime.
For developers building industrialedge or ML focused apps, this
board does not skip leg day.
Kyle Dando (08:33):
Um, and, and naturally I already know because you're so
prepared that you're planning to bringon a special guest to go a little bit
deeper into this specific application?
Bridgette Stone (08:43):
Don't you know it.
Consider this your teaser.
We'll dive into more of thistech in an upcoming episode.
Kyle Dando (08:49):
Awesome.
All right.
Well, another strong nod to our pastthemes, you were able to tie in both
the SDKs, VS code, the applicationcode hub, and now the FRDM-MCXN947.
So look at us staying on brand, andI guess we could say staying swole.
Bridgette Stone (09:07):
Exactly.
Code strong Kyle.
Kyle Dando (09:10):
So now let's put the open mic down.
Bridgette.
That was a nice way to revisit our pastepisodes, but as I said at the beginning,
I think our listeners are wanting more.
Bridgette, I think they deserve more.
Bridgette Stone (09:22):
Kyle, should I be afraid?
Kyle Dando (09:25):
Nah.
Nah, trust me, Bridgette.
Trust me.
I think we should spend the next half ofthis podcast allowing the listeners to
get to know a little bit more about us.
Alright, so Bridgette, what's one thingthat's shaped you into the strong,
persistent and wildly creative MarcomManager that I've had the pleasure
of co-hosting this TechCast with?
Bridgette Stone (09:45):
You know, I've always been a naturally curious person.
I was the kid who actually likedschool into everything from science to
sports, constantly asking questions,probably too many questions, and trying
to figure out how the world worked.
I was definitely the kid with myhands up on every rollercoaster ride.
All in all the time!
Even if I didn't know exactlywhere the ride was heading.
(10:08):
The same spirit carried into my career.
I also have a sister with Down Syndrome,and growing up with her taught me a lot.
About communication, aboutempathy, and finding different
ways to connect with people.
I think that helped shapedhow I listen, how I explain
things, and how I see the world.
Later, I studied psychology incollege, still not sure what I wanted
(10:28):
to do, but fascinated by how peoplethink and how decisions are made.
And that turned out to besurprisingly useful in tech marketing.
So it's really been a mix of curiosity,connection, a little bit of behavioral
science that brought me here.
Now I get to take that complex technologyand help people actually relate to it.
And honestly, it's beena really amazing ride.
Kyle Dando (10:50):
Okay, well first off, I knew you were hands up on
the rollercoaster kind of girl.
That checks out.
I know you, you're the person whosigns up for a challenge before asking
what it is, just like co-hostingthis crazy tech cast and somehow you
always seem to stick the landing.
I didn't have any idea about your sister,but I'll tell you, your sister's very
(11:11):
lucky to have such a great sister.
You do have this gift for connectingwith people, no matter their background,
or how technical the topic is.
And psychology, well, thatjust explains, uh, so much.
No wonder you're so goodat Talking Tech Marketing.
With that background, you're basicallyalways a part-time therapist, part-time
(11:31):
translator, and a full-time hype squad.
Alright, now it's your turn to grillme, so please keep it semi- gentle.
I didn't stretch before this episode.
Bridgette Stone (11:44):
All right, so I got a fun one for you.
Let's say the whole techthing didn't work out for you.
What would alternate-universeKyle be doing right now?
And yes, you do have to answer.
Kyle Dando (11:55):
Well, I still have my fingers crossed, Bridgette, on my career.
No, this is, this is a great question.
Being a psychology major, you'll probablyagree that most of our listeners pose
the same question to themselves weekly.
But honestly, for as long as I canremember, I have always loved running.
(12:15):
And I don't just meanrunning to the store.
I mean really long distance runningand, I am definitely no sprinter.
If I needed to pivot my career fromtechnology, I would absolutely, with no
doubt, be a high school cross countrycoach, and I think I'd maybe teach high
school math on the side if they'd let me.
(12:36):
I've been very fortunate to haveamazing coaches in my career.
When I ran competitively in highschool and in college at Purdue.
Bridgette Stone (12:45):
Boiler up!
Kyle Dando (12:46):
Boiler up!
I found that.
I improved my mental performanceway more than my running times.
I just crave to pass on thesame guidance and wisdom to the
young kids that I see today.
And I guess I have a love for teaching,which explains one of the reasons I've
always gravitated toward technicalmarketing and training content.
(13:07):
Between us, my username for mosteverything in life is Purdue Runner.
I think it defines somuch more of who I am.
Is that personal enough, Bridgette?
Bridgette Stone (13:18):
That's honestly so awesome Kyle.
I love that.
You're all about endurance,mindset, and mentorship.
It totally tracks withhow you approach tech too.
Always playing the long game,helping people level up,
including your co-host over here.
So thank you.
But also Purdue Runner, thatmight just beat my FRDM obsession.
(13:40):
Well, Kyle, I think we've officiallyproven that when you hand us a mic with
no script, we're gonna run with it.
Kyle Dando (13:47):
Like I said before, we've done a pretty solid job
of covering the SDK previews.
We discussed the excellent FRDMBoards, and we continue to let
our listeners know about themagic of the application code hub.
And you know what?
I think it was great that we got a littlepersonal, because I think our listeners
wanted to hear that kind of information,and I'd call that a pretty solid flex.
Bridgette Stone (14:11):
Totally agreed.
Hopefully this gave our listeners abetter feel for who we are behind the
Tech Curious Minds, code nerds, andapparently part-time weightlifters.
Kyle Dando (14:22):
Yes, yes, yes.
Remember, always lift heavy code.
Use strong securityand don't skip leg day.
Bridgette Stone (14:30):
Especially if it's a dual core debug build.
Kyle Dando (14:35):
So until next time, hands up, hands on tight, and enjoy
the ride through the EdgeVerse.
Hey everyone, and welcome back to the Edge TechCast.

Bridgette Stone (07:29):
Hey, what can I say?
It's a powerhouse, and you know, I'm asucker for anything that can lift heavy.
This board's basically the barbellof embedded development, built
for performance, balanced forefficiency, and always ready to flex.
Kyle Dando (07:43):
So what you're saying is "this board spots itself".
Bridgette Stone (07:47):
Exactly USB-C, CAN FD, I3C, ethernet.

Alright, now it's your turn to grillme, so please keep it semi- gentle.
I didn't stretch before this episode.
Bridgette Stone (11:44):
All right, so I got a fun one for you.
Let's say the whole techthing didn't work out for you.
What would alternate-universeKyle be doing right now?
And yes, you do have to answer.

Being a psychology major, you'll probablyagree that most of our listeners pose
the same question to themselves weekly.
But honestly, for as long as I canremember, I have always loved running.
(12:15):
And I don't just meanrunning to the store.
I mean really long distance runningand, I am definitely no sprinter.
If I needed to pivot my career fromtechnology, I would absolutely, with no
doubt, be a high school cross countrycoach, and I think I'd maybe teach high
school math on the side if they'd let me.
(12:36):
I've been very fortunate to haveamazing coaches in my career.
When I ran competitively in highschool and in college at Purdue.
Bridgette Stone (12:45):
Boiler up!
Kyle Dando (12:46):
Boiler up!
I found that.
I improved my mental performanceway more than my running times.
I just crave to pass on thesame guidance and wisdom to the
young kids that I see today.
And I guess I have a love for teaching,which explains one of the reasons I've
always gravitated toward technicalmarketing and training content.
(13:07):
Between us, my username for mosteverything in life is Purdue Runner.
I think it defines somuch more of who I am.
Is that personal enough, Bridgette?
Bridgette Stone (13:18):
That's honestly so awesome Kyle.
I love that.
You're all about endurance,mindset, and mentorship.
It totally tracks withhow you approach tech too.
Always playing the long game,helping people level up,
including your co-host over here.
So thank you.
But also Purdue Runner, thatmight just beat my FRDM obsession.
(13:40):
Well, Kyle, I think we've officiallyproven that when you hand us a mic with
no script, we're gonna run with it.
Kyle Dando (13:47):
Like I said before, we've done a pretty solid job
of covering the SDK previews.
We discussed the excellent FRDMBoards, and we continue to let
our listeners know about themagic of the application code hub.
And you know what?
I think it was great that we got a littlepersonal, because I think our listeners
wanted to hear that kind of information,and I'd call that a pretty solid flex.
Bridgette Stone (14:11):
Totally agreed.
Hopefully this gave our listeners abetter feel for who we are behind the
Tech Curious Minds, code nerds, andapparently part-time weightlifters.
Kyle Dando (14:22):
Yes, yes, yes.
Remember, always lift heavy code.
Use strong securityand don't skip leg day.
Bridgette Stone (14:30):
Especially if it's a dual core debug build.
Kyle Dando (14:35):
So until next time, hands up, hands on tight, and enjoy
the ride through the EdgeVerse.
