2. Get Software

You can watch the video or follow the below step-by-step guide to set up your S32K344-WB Evaluation Board:

2.1 Get the Integrated Development Environment (IDE)

Download and install S32 Design Studio IDE for S32 Platform version 3.4.

Note: Version 3.4 is located under “Previous” tab

Note: You will receive activation code through email.

DOWNLOAD S32 DESIGN STUDIO IDE

2.2 Install the S32K3xx Development Package

Note: The software contains rich example set for both High Level Driver (HLD) and Low Level Drivers (LLD). The HLD example set is based on S32K3 RTD version 1.0.0, while LLD example set is based on S32K3 RTD version 2.0.0. The next instructions are for LLD example set. For more details about downloading and installing the HLD software please read the chapter 2 in the S32K344 Whiteboard SW(HLD) UserGuide

  • Go to Help
  • S32DS Extensions and Updates from the top menu to open the S32DS Extensions and Updates.
  • Navigate to the S32K3xx development package and install it.

Note: In case of installation issues, please ensure that the latest version of S32 Design Studio Platform package and S32 Design Studio Platform Tools package is installed.

Continue with the installation of the S32K3 Real-Time Drivers:

3.1 Set Up Jumpers in the S32K344-WB Evaluation Board

Note: Make sure the jumper J5 is closed and J87 is open. These jumper settings make sure the FS26 starts in debug mode which disables the watchdog.

Note: For details about default jumper settings please read the chapter 7 in the S32K344 White Board HW User Manual.

3.2 Connect Power Supply

Ensure that SW10 is in OFF position, connect the 12 V power supply adaptor and then switch SW10 to the ON position. If you see the reset LED(D15) blinking, it's possible that the FS26 is in normal mode and FS26 triggered the reset due to no watchdog feeding from the MCU. In such a case, switch SW10 OFF and ON again.

The successful power-on is signalized by several power-domain LEDs. For more details and LED positions please read the chapter 5 in the S32K344 White Board HW User Manual.

4.1 Build

The software contains rich example set for both High Level Driver (HLD) and Low Level Drivers (LLD). The HLD example set is based on S32K3 RTD version 1.0.0, while LLD example set is based on S32K3 RTD version 2.0.0. The next instructions are for LLD example set.

Download the s32k3_wb_self_test project in the software package S32K344_Whiteboard_Example(LLD)_RTM_1.0.0.zip. Import to S32DS, compile and upload the firmware to the board. Connect the board(J16) to the PC with the MicroUSB cable. Set the UART assistant parameters on the PC as 115200, 8, None, 1. You should be able to see below printing information.
