Hello NXP Community Team,
I am currently working with the NXP S32K344 MCU and have successfully installed S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform on my system.
I would like guidance on how to install and load the SDK into S32 Design Studio. Specifically, I am looking for the steps to:
- Download the appropriate SDK for S32K344
- Import/install the SDK into S32 Design Studio
- Use SDK components such as:
- RTD (Real-Time Drivers)
- FreeRTOS
- Other middleware or peripheral drivers
- Create a new project using the installed SDK
Additionally, please share:
- The official download links for the S32K344 SDK
- Any documentation, application notes, or tutorials related to SDK installation and usage in S32 Design Studio
Your support and guidance will be very helpful for my development work.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Rao
Hi Pavel,
Thank you for your reply.
As shown in the attached images, I have successfully installed the SDK on my system. The SDK folders are present under the following path:
C:\NXP\S32DS.3.6.4\S32DS\software
However, while creating a new project in S32 Design Studio (S32DS) for the S32K344, no SDK is listed in the “Select SDK” window. Because of this, I am unable to attach the SDK to the project.
Could you please help me with the following:
- Why the installed SDK is not appearing in the S32DS project creation wizard.
- The correct steps to manually add or register the SDK in S32DS.
- Any additional configuration required to link the SDK with the tool.
I have attached screenshots for reference.
Thank you for your support. I look forward to your guidance.

Hello @sanjayrao ,
Please find my answers below.
For S32K3 devices, the legacy S32 SDK is no longer updated. The supported path is the Real‑Time Drivers (RTD), which replace the SDK for both AUTOSAR and non‑AUTOSAR use cases.
Here's the link to the S32k3 main page:
S32K3 Auto General-Purpose MCUs | NXP Semiconductors
Feel free to browse S32 Design Studio Knowledge Base at address:
1. Download the appropriate RTD for S32K344
S32K3 main page -> Software -> S32K3 Standard Software -> Automotive SW - S32K3/S32M27x - Real-Time Drivers for Cortex-M -> select RTD version at your will - the latest is always recommended -> download *_DesignStudio_updatesite.zip and *_ReleaseNotes.pdf
2. Import/install the RTD into S32 Design Studio
Please check this video:
How To Download, Install and Configure the RTD 5.0.0 with S32 Design Studio 3.6.0
3. Use SDK components such as RTD (Real-Time Drivers), FreeRTOS, Other middleware or peripheral drivers
First, you need to install the other SW:
S32K3 main page -> Software -> S32K3 Reference Software -> browse for SW you need -> select SW version based on your RTD version -> download *_DesignStudio_updatesite.zip and *_ReleaseNotes.pdf -> follow installation chapter in the Release Note
Check the examples, how to use e.g. FreeRTOS.
4. Create a new project using the installed RTD
It has been shown in the video above.
Kindly search NXP Community - I believe that most of the use cases have been already discussed there.

Hi Sanjay,
Even I have faced same issue during project creation.Have you been able to resolve the issue?
Hello @sanjayrao ,
I see. You need to select correct GCC in the previous window - use GCC 10.2 for S32K3 RTD.
Here's a screenshot from S32DS 3.6.1 & S32K3 RTD 6.0.0:
GCC version can be obtained from RTD Release Note:
