Major Features for S32 Design Studio 3.6.5
Installer
- S32 Design Studio 3.6.5 is delivered with all public NPI's in a single 2.63GB installer to improve first time user experience. Additional packages for alpha customers are available based on Flexera entitlement and can be installed on top of S32 Design Studio 3.6.5 using Extension and Updates.
Platform IDE and UI
- Integrated Cody, the open-source Eclipse plugin from Sourcegraph, into S32 Design Studio. This plugin is installed by default, allowing users with a valid Cody license to log in directly within S32DS and access Generative AI features. Note: Users must agree to the Sourcegraph Terms of Service before using Cody.
- Enabled integration with the NXP Application Code Hub, allowing users to browse available examples and import them directly from the hub page into S32 Design Studio. Note: the application examples will be published soon on the Application Code Hub URL.
Note: This image is taken from internal sources. The illustrated examples are currently under development and will be available soon.
- Extended the Quick Fix mechanism for the missing NPI and Real Time Drivers packages. Basically, an error message displays in the Problems view whenever the IDE identifies a missing package (build tool, NPI, RTD) associated with the current project. The Quick Fix automatically installs the missing package if it is available in the configured Update Sites. Note: not all scenarios are covered, there may be cases where the tool cannot determine if a package is missing.
- A new Recent tab has been added in S32DS Extensions and Updates to display the latest installed packages, providing a clear history of user actions related to package installations. In addition, the default sorting was changed in All tab to bring greater visibility to NXP packages.
- Added support for drag-and-drop of S32 Design Studio p2 update sites / installable packages into the S32DS Extensions & Updates window. Users can now simply drag the ZIP file into the window, and the package will be automatically inserted and selected, requiring only a click on Next to complete the installation.
- Significant improvements to Secure Debugging:
- Added a dedicated Debug Card view that allows users to generate debug card binaries based on custom input.
- Implemented Challenge & Response functionality for Linux environment.
- Enabled Secure Registry Key view for managing secure registry keys on Linux.
- UI is aligned to the secure debugging functionality latest changes introduced by HSE2.
- Extended the S32 Debugger OS awareness support with FreeRTOS.
- OS threads are now visible in S32 Design Studio and user will be able to individually debug them.
- Extended the command line support to display OS threads and objects.
- Enable debug in low power mode with S32 Debugger for S32K3xx devices:
- The debug session will recover after core exits low power or standby mode, allowing the user to continue application debugging.
- Debugging from the first instruction after low power exit is now possible by using this configuration command when starting the debug session: monitor template config :ccs:S32K3XX:SoC#0 6 1
- Expanded the S32Trace debug-info parser to fully support DWARF-5, adding compatibility with projects using GCC 11.4 and newer.
