The Automotive Embedded Systems, Model-Based Design Tools Team at NXP Semiconductors, is pleased to announce the release of the Model-Based Design Toolbox for S32K3 version 1.6.0. This release supports automatic code generation for S32K3 peripherals and applications prototyping from MATLAB/Simulink for NXP S32K3 Automotive Microprocessors. This new product adds support for S32K310, S32K311, S32K312, S32K314, S32K322, S32K324, S32K328, S32K338, S32K341, S32K342, S32K344, S32K348, S32K358, S32K364, S32K366, S32K374, S32K376, S32K388, S32K394 and S32K396 MCUs, and part of their peripherals, based on RTD MCAL components (ADC, CAN, DIO, FEE, GPT, I2C, ICU, LIN, MEM, MCL, PWM, SPI, UART), and support for the eTPU co-processor based on the S32K3 eTPU Software. In this release, we have also updated the RTD, S32 Configuration Tools, AMMCLib, FreeMASTER, and MATLAB support for the latest versions. The product comes with over 180 examples, covering all the features and functionalities of the toolbox, including new demos for motor control applications.
Target audience: This product is part of the Automotive SW – Model-Based Design Toolbox.

Technical Support: NXP Model-Based Design Toolbox for S32K3 issues will be tracked through the NXP Model-Based Design Tools Community space.
Release Content:
The toolbox enables access to the eTPU co-processor of the S32K36x/S32K39x derivatives from Simulink models, by delivering a library of blocks that generate code on top of eTPU components APIs:
The toolbox delivers default configuration projects, available in both S32 Configuration Tools and EB tresos, covering an initial enablement of the on-board peripherals, pins, and clocks, for all the supported S32K3 derivatives. The desired template, which represents the starting point for enabling the hardware configuration of the application, can be selected via a dropdown widget. 
The toolbox provides support to use and create custom project templates. This could be very useful when having a custom board design – offering the possibility to create the configuration for it only once. After it is saved as a custom project template, it can be used for every model that is being developed. 
Such custom projects, addressing specific hardware designs are offered inside the current version of the toolbox to integrate the following EVBs:
All functions in the Automotive Math and Motor Control Functions Library v1.1.39 are supported as blocks for simulation and embedded target code generation.
We provide several Simulink example models and associated FreeMASTER projects to demonstrate how our toolbox interacts with the real-time data visualization tool and how it can be used for tuning embedded software applications. 
We provide the feature of importing the code generated from a Simulink model inside the S32 Design Studio IDE. This functionality can be useful if the model needs to be integrated into an already existing project or for debug purposes. 
We provide support for the following simulation modes (each of them being useful for validation and verification):
The toolbox provides examples for 1-shunt and 2-shunt PMSM and BLDC motor control applications, supporting both S32 Configuration Tools and EB tresos. Each of the examples provides a detailed description of the hardware setup and an associated FreeMASTER project which can be used for control and data visualization. The toolbox also demonstrates the integration of the Motor Control Blockset in developing such applications. 
For demonstrating the S32K3 eTPU Software integration, we have included in this release a PMSM application where the FOC algorithm runs on the main CPU of the S32K396 MCU, while the analog sensing, software resolver, and PWM signals generation are offloaded to the eTPU co-processor. 
The motor control applications were developed and validated on the MCSPTE1AK344 and MCSPTR2AK396 Motor Control kits.
We added support for the following MATLAB versions:
More than 180 examples showcasing:
For more details, features, and how to use the new functionalities, please refer to the Release Notes and Quick Start Guides documents attached.
The NXP Model-Based Design Toolbox extends the MATLAB® and Simulink® experience by allowing customers to evaluate and use NXP’s S32K3 MCUs and evaluation board solutions out-of-the-box. NXP Model-Based Design Toolbox for S32K3 version 1.6.0 is fully integrated with MATLAB® environment. 
Target Audience: This release (1.6.0) is intended for technology demonstration, evaluation purposes, and prototyping S32K3 MCUs and Evaluation Boards.
