[#1]

This article is meant to show you the minimal setup required to allow your embedded application to start talking to FreeMASTER host application.

It is part of the FreeMASTER Tutorial series:

Communication Driver & S32 Design Studio

Prerequisites:

• FreeMASTER Communication Driver
• S32 Design Studio for ARM 2018.R1 with S32 SDK S32K1xx RTM 3.0.0

See example application source code in attachments.

If you read Communication Driver article you may have noticed that the the stand-alone package available on the FreeMASTER download page implements version 2.0 of the communication protocol.

• Why this video still uses an older version ? 
  • The latest version is relatively new, and not all platform have updated support.
  • S32 Design Studio and Model-Based Design Toolbox still use previous version of the driver.

The host application is fully backward compatible and supports both versions of the communication protocol.
