Field-Oriented Control of PMSM Using NXP™ S32K144 Kit

[shangchuan]

Hi,

I'm testing the motor control demo from this example in MATLAB 2022a. 

https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/93535-field-oriented-control-of-pmsm-using-nxp-...

After successfully build a target model of motor control algorithms, I click on Run on the host model for real-time communication.

Then I see below error message regarding unable to create a communication link with the serial port. When I plug in to NXP board, I only see the "EVB-S32K144" pops up from the device manage but no any other COM port shows up. Can you help with the issue? Thank you.

Hello, @shangchuan 

It looks like you have an issue with the PEMicro Windows driver and the S32K144-EVB OpenSDA cannot install properly.

You should have something like this on the Device Manager window:

What I suggest firstly to do is trying to install the PEMicro Driver for Windows manually, by proceeding with the following steps:

1. Open EVB-S32K144 partition and double-click on the SDA-INFO.HTM file.

2. A PEMicro web page will open. Click on the following link and try to install the PEMicro Windows USB Drivers.

3. You have to create an account on PEMicro in order to download the drivers.

After the installation is successful, unplug the EVB and plug it again. The OS should assign a COM Port for your EVB automatically.

Let me know if this works!

Best regards,

Stefan.
