CPU /Thermal load for S32K328 micro controller

We need help to implement the CPU/thermal load for S32K328 microcontroller in our project. Please let me know the API's to test the CPU/thermal loading. Kindly mention all the steps to run in multiple cores.

according to the S32K UM, there are Temperature Sensor (TempSense) inside. Maybe there are some routine at S32 DESIGN STUDIO sdk

Hi,

for S32K3, there is no dedicated single RTD API for “CPU/thermal load test”. Usually this is implemented by:

- generating CPU load on each core using application busy loops or RTOS tasks
- monitoring die temperature through the internal TempSense path via ADC APIs

For temperature monitoring, please check the ADC TempSense APIs:

Adc_Sar_Ip_TempSenseEnable()
Adc_Sar_Ip_GetConvData()
Adc_Sar_Ip_TempSenseCalculateTemp()

see more e,g on https://community.nxp.com/t5/S32K/Internal-Temperature-sensor/m-p/1688673

For multicore execution on S32K328:

- create/use an S32K3 multicore RTD project
- start the secondary core using the NXP multicore startup flow
- run a CPU stress task on each core
- periodically read TempSense and log temperature versus load
