Hello, @avinashstarkenn,
Thank you for using MBDT on your applications.
The S32K3xx toolbox supports download via a variety of methods, which are detailed below:
- Embedded Debugger
- Most EVBs have a built-in OpenSDA debugger that can be used via USB cable to download the application onto the board via the JTAG protocol.
- USB Multilink External Debugger
- The P&E Multilink debug probe can be used to download the application through the JTAG interface of the board via the JTAG protocol.
- It is required to install the P&E Multilink drivers from https://www.pemicro.com/
- J-Link Debugger
- The SEGGER J-Link debug probe can be used to download the application onto the board via the JTAG interface.
- It is required to install the J-Link Software https://www.segger.com/downloads/jlink/
Regarding your questions, I will respond in the order in which they were addressed:
- Most EVB’s have multiple JTAG interfaces(10 or 20 pins) that can be used with the P&E Multilink debug probe.
I'll use the S32K3X4EVB-Q172 Evaluation Board as an example:
The board has a 20-pin JTAG ARM connector, which can be used together with the Multilink debug probe to download your application. Check the schematic for your specific EVB to determine which type of connector you have. It is connected to the MCU's JTAG_TMS, JTAG_TCLK, JTAG_TDO, and JTAG_TDI pins, as shown in the S32K3X4EVB-Q172 schematic:
- In the MBDT toolbox for S32K3, open the model settings to select one of the download methods presented above. The Type dropdown in the Download section allows you to select the desired download method.
In your case, you must select the first option, which can be used for both an external USB Multilink debugger and the EVB's embedded OpenSDA debugger. Please ensure that you click the Apply button once you've made the desired changes.
I'll add that the majority of the examples included with the toolbox have been tested on EVBs with embedded debuggers, and the USB Multilink/Embedded Debugger - JTAG option is selected by default in each example.
Please let us know if this helped you.
Best regards,
Victor
