1. Out of the Box
NXP S32Z280-400EVB evaluation board 12 V power supply with universal adapters Board standoffs.
1.1 Get to Know the Hardware
The S32Z280-400EVB provides a platform for evaluation and development of S32Z2 high-performance real-time automotive processors, facilitating hardware and software development and providing robust debug capabilities. NXP provides Real Time Drivers (RTD) to be installed on top of the S32 Design Studio IDE, which the RTD consists of example software applications for various features and peripherals of the EVB.
1.3 Board Features
- USB to UART interface
- 2 x RCON Controller for custom boot settings
- 1Kb EEPROM
- JTAG debug connector
- Quad flash
- 1 x 5Mbit/S CAN-FD and 2 x 8Mbit/S CAN-FD interfaces
- 1 x Micro-SD card socket
- 512Mb flash
- BMS, Aurora Trace, Zipwire connectors
- Automotive ethernet and LIN
- User LEDs
- Option to connect to the S32X-MB motherboard to extend I/O capabilities
1.4 Software Preparation
- S32 Design Studio IDE
- S32ZE Real Time Drivers Version 2.x.x
- FTDI VCP driver (required if the user wants to use UART interface)
2. Get Software
2.1 Download S32 Design Studio
Download and install S32 Design Studio IDE for S32 Platform.
DOWNLOAD S32 DESIGN STUDIO IDE2.2 Install the Real Time Drivers (RTD)
Download the S32ZE Real Time Drivers Version 2.x.x updatesite.zip. Open the S32 Design Studio. Go to Help→S32DS Extensions and Updates→Add Update Sites, and choose the downloaded updatesite.zip.
Find and select the two S32ZE Real-Time Drivers options from the list on the S32DS Extensions and Updates window, and click Install/Update.
3. Build, Run
3.1 Running an Example Application
- Open the S32 Design Studio 3.6.x or above
- Go to File→New→S32DS Project from Example
- Select from Dio Examples the
Dio_Example_S32Z2XX_SMU - Double click the
example_Dio.mexfile from the Project Explorer, click Update Code→OK - Click on the Pins configuration icon. Add a new row of routing item, and configure GPIO 14 on the
SIUL2_0peripheral as shown in the picture. This configuration will enable GPIO 14 to controlD12LED on the EVB - Click on the Peripherals configuration icon. Change the Dio Channel Id to 14, and change the PortPin Mscr to 14
- Click on the S32DS C/C++ icon, select the project and click the Build icon
- Connect the EVB to the 12 V power supply. Connect the S32 Debug Probe to the PC via USB, and connect the
JTAGcable between the EVB and the S32 Debug Probe. Turn on the EVB usingSW1 - Choose the
Dio_Example_S32Z2XX_SMUproject and click Debug - Resume the code and watch
D12on the EVB to start blinking. By default themain.cis configured to letD12blink for 10 times
