Bulk Pin Configuration using MBDT S32 CT

[suryadevise]

Hi Team,

I am working with S32K3 using MBDT (Model-Based Design Toolbox) and S32 Configuration Tools v1.8.
I would like to understand the recommended approach for bulk GPIO / DIO pin configuration.

Current Observation

• In the Pins Tool, it is not possible to multi-select or bulk-select MCU pins using Ctrl / Shift.
• Each pin needs to be configured individually through the UI.
• DIO configuration is derived from the Pins (PORT) configuration, not directly from the DIO driver.

Questions

1. Is bulk pin configuration (GPIO direction, pull-up/down, initial level) supported in the S32 Configuration Tools v1.8 UI?
2. If UI-based bulk selection is not supported, what is the recommended and supported workaround?
• Export Pins to CSV and re-import using Data Manager?
• Import AUTOSAR ECU configuration (ARXML)?
3. For MBDT-based projects, is Export Configuration (*.mex) sufficient after updating pin configurations?
4. Is there any plan to support multi-pin selection or bulk editing in future releases?

Any guidance or best practices from NXP or experienced users would be appreciated.

Thanks & Regards,
