The entire suite of blocks is easily integrated within the new Battery Management Toolbox from Mathworks, so users can leverage these algorithms on top of our blocks. Integrates the Automotive Math and Motor Control Library release 1.1.21 for: S32K11x based on ARM M0+ cores; S32K14x based on ARM M4F cores; Multiple S32K1xx peripheral support. The peripheral coverage for each of the S32K1xx derivatives is shown below:        S32K116      S32K118      S32K142      S32K144      S32K146      S32K148 Added support for EEEPROM These blocks allow users to make read/write operations to non-volatile memory (useful in applications that require parameters/states to be saved even when powered-off):   Updated Motor Control support New examples added for the following parts: -     MCSXTE2BK142 -     S32K11XEVBM -     XS32K14WEVB Additionally, Motor Control blocks can be easily integrated with the Motor Control Blockset from Mathworks, so users can leverage these algorithms on top of our existing blocks.     Extended support for MATLAB versions We extended support for our toolbox to cover a wider range of MATLAB releases – starting from R2016a and going up to R2020a. This way we want to avoid locking out users that have constraints regarding MATLAB versions. New community-requested features In our efforts to make  NXP’s Model-Based Design Toolbox for S32K1xx version 4.2.0 fit the needs of the users, we have added the following requested features/updates: -     Added new I2C multi transfer block -     S32 Design Studio importer functionality extended for referenced models projects -     Updated LIN blocks to add CRC type configuration -     Updated ADC blocks to enable auto-calibration 100% S32K1xx supported peripheral coverage with examples. Approximatively 300 examples available as part of the toolbox that exercise all the functionalities supported For more details, features and how to use the new functionalities, please refer to the Release Notes document attached. MATLAB® Integration The NXP Model-Based Design Toolbox extends the MATLAB® and Simulink® experience by allowing customers to evaluate and use NXP’s S32K1xx MCUs and evaluation boards solutions out-of-the-box with: NXP Support Package for S32K1xx Online Installer Guide Add-on allows users to install NXP solution directly from the Mathwork’s website or directly from MATLAB IDE. The Support Package provide a step-by-step guide for installation and verification. NXP Model-Based Design Toolbox for S32K1xx version 4.2.0 is fully integrated with MATLAB® environment in terms of installation, documentation, help and examples: Target Audience This release (4.2.0) is intended for technology demonstration, evaluation purposes and prototyping for S32K116, S32K118, S32K142, S32K144, S32K146, S32K148, S32K142W and S32K144W MCUs and Evaluation Boards.
