Getting Started with the S32J100-EVB-V2 Evaluation Board

This section covers the components and features of the S32J100 EVB. Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 to become familiar with the layout of the board.

This section will walk you through the steps to configure, power, and begin working with the S32J100 EVB.

3.1 Optional Heat Sink

Under normal operating conditions, it is not necessary to mount the heat sink.

To mount the heat sink, place the thermal pad on the S32J100, position the aluminum heat sink over the thermal pad, and press the mounting pins until they lock.

3.2 Default Configuration

The board can be configured using the SW3 dual in-line package (DIP) switches. Table 1 details the functions of each switch. Set the board to default when getting started.

Table 1. SW3 Board Configuration DIP Switch.

For development purposes, the S32J100 includes 16 bootstrap pins, referred to as parallel RCON. You will configure these pins on the S32J100-EVB-V2 using the DIP switches SW16 and SW17. Buffer connect the pull resistors only during reset. After the functional reset is released, you will disconnect the RCON pull resistors. The default configuration (run from the oscillator) is:

• SW17 RCON[15-8]: 0x00
• SW16 RCON[7-0]: 0xA3

Production boards do not require external RCON switch settings because the same configuration can be programmed into the S32J100 internal fuses.

3.3 Powering the Board

Use a 12 V, 1.5 A power supply with a barrel connector to power the board. If necessary, connect the included barrel connector adapter.

After connecting the power supply, you will turn on the power switch (SW15). The power-good (PGOOD) LED (D100) will light up to indicate that the board is receiving power.

3.4 Checking the Pre-Flashed Firmware

The board is preflashed with the S32J100 "standard" reference application.

After you power on the board, USER_LED2 (D111) The board is preflashed with the S32J100 "standard" reference application.

Connect a laptop or PC to the RJ45 connector on port 1. Use a network protocol analyzer like Wireshark to capture the diagnostic frames.

In this final step, you will install the software needed to evaluate the board.

4.1 Install Software

Follow the steps to obtain the software needed for the EVB.

1. Go to the Automotive package manager
2. Download the reference applications for the S32J100
3. Follow the guide included to get started with using the software

Note: The board is pre-flashed with the S32J100 reference application "standard".
