PowerPC S32 Design Studio for Ubuntu 20.04?

emagii — Tue, 14 Dec 2021 08:50:30 GMT

Hi, we have a continuous integration server which is running Ubuntu 20.04 .

Are there any plans to officially support Ubuntu 20.04 (and soon 22.04) for
the PowerPC version?

Unfortunately, there a no plans to release any new versions of S32 Design Studio for Power Architecture. So there will be no updates to support newer versions of Ubuntu.

Best regards,

Mike

Can you please supply the source code and the buildscripts for the compiler suite so we can recompile?

There is source code for earlier versions available at:

S32 Design Studio IDE for Power Architecture based MCUs | NXP Semiconductors

Compiler and Build Tools Source Package – GCC v4.9.4 for S32 Design Studio for Power Architecture® 2017.R1 Update 2 (nxp.com)

but I am looking for the latest version. Source of:

S32 Design Studio for Power Architecture v2.1 Update 14 (nxp.com)

Hello @emagii,

Following your request, I contacted our compiler team and they are working to publish the latest version. I will update you once it is available for download.

The source code and links to the source code are actually available to you right now.

Look here:

C:\NXP\S32DS_Power_v2.1\S32DS\build_tools\powerpc-eabivle-4_9\patches_applied

This contains patch files (i.e. all our internal changes) for all the base packages used to build GCC for Power. A list of base package links are located in:

C:\NXP\S32DS_Power_v2.1\S32DS\build_tools\powerpc-eabivle-4_9\patches_applied/FREESCALE_SOURCES

Downloading all the base packages and then applying the patch files to the sources will give you the exact copy of our Power Architecture builds. You can reuse build scripts from the previous used source build.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

I can see that there are new compilers (build 1705) for Windows and Linux released on 2021-12-20.

https://www.nxp.com/webapp/sps/download/license.jsp?colCode=NXP-EMBEDDED-GCC-FOR-POWER-ARCHITECTURE-WINDOWS&appType=file1&DOWNLOAD_ID=null

Is this what you are talking about?

Hi,

I just downloaded the tar ball from the NXP website.

Please try again and let us know if there is still an issue and we'll contact the website team.

Thanks.

Thank You,
I managed to download them yesterday.

Will there be an update to the Studio component as well?

I have seen some links saying that the Java needs to be downgraded in
order to run with the Ubuntu 18.04, so this will be needed also for Ubuntu 20.04
which will likely break some other S/W.
