4.2 Configure and Build Project

The SDK project might be built directly via “Build button”

While RTD project needs to generate the configuration. Double-click on mex file to open Configuration Tool and click on the Update Code button for configuration files generation.

Note: You may use the buttons on top-right corner for change the perspective back to C/C++ view.

Once you finish your code/configuration modification, click on built button.

4.3 Load Code into MCU

In the S32 Design Studio menu click Run → Debug Configuration and select the appropriate predefined debug configuration and click on Debug to start loading built code into MCU.

Note: The picture shows the debug configurations for both SDK and RTD ADC examples for your reference.

NextProject and Tutorials: Introduction to OpenSDA

Introduction to OpenSDA

OpenSDA is an open-standard serial and debug adapter. It bridges serial and debug communications between a USB host and an embedded target processor. OpenSDA software includes a flash-resident USB mass-storage device (MSD) bootloader and a collection of OpenSDA applications.

The S32K14WEVB-Q064 comes with the MSD Flash Programmer OpenSDA Application preinstalled.

Follow these instructions to run the OpenSDA Bootloader and update or change the installed OpenSDA Application.

Enter OpenSDA Bootloader Mode Load an OpenSDA Application

Unplug the USB cable if attached
Set J104 on position 2-3
Press and hold the Reset (SW5)
Plug in a USB cable (not included) between a USB host and the OpenSDA USB connector (labeled “SDA”)
Release Reset

A removable drive should now be visible in the host file system with a volume label of BOOTLOADER. You are now in OpenSDA Bootloader mode.

Note: Follow the “Load an OpenSDA Application” instructions to update the MSD Flash Programmer on your S32K14WEVB-Q064 to the latest version.

While in OpenSDA Bootloader mode, double-click SDA_INFO.HTML in the BOOTLOADER drive. A web browser will open the OpenSDA homepage containing the name and version of the installed application. This information can also be read as text directly from SDA_INFO.HTML
Locate the OpenSDA applications
Copy and paste or drag and drop the MSD Flash Programmer Application to the BOOTLOADER drive
Unplug the USB cable and plug it in again. The new OpenSDA Application should now be running and a S32K14WEVB-Q064 drive should be visible in the host file system

You are now running the latest version of the MSD Flash Programmer. Use this same procedure to load other OpenSDA Applications.

The MSD Flash Programmer is a composite USB application that provides a virtual serial port and an easy and convenient way to program applications into the S32K1 MCU. It emulates a FAT16 file system, appearing as a removable drive in the host file system with a volume label of S32K14WEVB-Q064. Raw binary and Motorola S-record files that are copied to the drive are programmed directly into the flash of the S32K1 and executed automatically. The virtual serial port enumerates as a standard serial port device that can be opened with standard serial terminal applications.

Using the MSD Flash Programmer	Using the Virtual Serial Port
Locate the `.srec` file of your project, file is under the Debug folder of the S32DS project Copy and paste or drag and drop one of the `.srec` files to the S32K14WEVB-Q064 drive The new application should now be running on the S32K14WEVB-Q064. Starting with v1.03 of the MSD Flash Programmer, you can program repeatedly without the need to unplug and reattach the USB cable before reprogramming. Drag one of the `.srec` code for the S32K14W the S32K14WEVB-Q064 board over USB to reprogram the preloaded code example to another example.	Determine the symbolic name assigned to the S32K14WEVB-Q064 virtual serial port. In Windows open Device Manager and look for the COM port named `PEMicro/Freescale – CDC Serial Port` Open the serial terminal emulation program of your choice Note: For Windows you can use Tera Term , PuTTY or HyperTerminal Press and release Reset(`SW5`) at any time to restart the example application. Resetting the embedded application will not affect the connection of the virtual serial port to the terminal program It is possible to debug and communicate with the serial port at the same time. There is no need to stop the debug Note: Refer to the OpenSDA User’s Guide for a description of a known Windows issue when disconnecting a virtual serial port while the COM port is in use.
