You can watch the video or follow the step-by-step guide below to set up your S32K3X4EVB-Q257 evaluation board.
Download and Install S32 Design Studio IDE for S32 Platform.
Note: You will receive activation code through email.
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 Real-Time Drivers for S32K3xx:
Download and install Elektrobit Tresos Studio / AUTOSAR Configuration Tool from S32K3 Standard Software Package.
Download and install the .exe
file of the S32K3
Real-Time Drivers for Cortex-M from the
S32K3 Standard Software Package.
The installer will ask for the EB Tresos installation directory on your disk, saving time in configuration.
Note: You will receive an
activation code via email. If you installed RTD prior EB Tresos,
create a SW32K3_RTD_4.4_x.y.z.link
file in:
C:\EB\tresos\links folder with the content:
"path=C:/NXP/SW32K3_RTD_4.4_x.y.z
", where x,y,z
refers to installed RTD version.
S32K3X4EVB-Q172 performs better when using the FreeMASTER Run-Time Debugging Tool.
Note: Check the FreeMASTER page for the latest version.
The FreeMASTER communication driver for S32K3 microcontrollers
is also needed;
download it from the Automotive SW - S32K3 - S32 FreeMASTER link
in the
S32K3 Standard Software Package.

Switch SW10
to the OFF position (fully to the
right).
Connect the 12 V power supply adapter and then switch
SW10
to the ON position (fully to the left).
This power-up procedure manage that SBC starts with the disabled watchdog. Four orange LEDs indicate active 12, 5, 3.3 and 1.5V power supply domains.
Connect a micro-USB cable to the J55
connector to
debug via the on-board S32K3 debugger.
Or use one of the available JTAG connectors to debug via the external S32K3 debugger.
Let's take your S32K3X4EVB-Q257 Evaluation Board for a test drive.
Open S32DS and from the menu, go to: File > New > S32DS Project
from Example. Select one of RTD example codes. You may choose
between examples with high-level API or with low-level API. For
example: Port_example_K344
.
Double-click on the .mex
project file.
Please unsure that you configure appropriate project and click on "Update Code" button for generating configuration files.
Return back to the C/C++ perspective.
Use Debug Configuration menu and select one of predefined debug configurations for building and uploading software into MCU.
Note: If you don't use the default on-board debugger, edit the Debugger tab for your setup.
The S32DS will switch into Debug perspective where you may let the code run.
The red LED will now blink for approximately 10 seconds.
