NXP Model-Based Design Toolbox

for S32Z/E – version 1.3.0

The Automotive Processing, Model-Based Design Tools Team at NXP Semiconductors, is pleased to announce the release of the Model-Based Design Toolbox for S32Z/E version 1.3.0. This release supports automatic code generation for ARM Cortex-R52 and DSP/ML processor cores from MATLAB and Simulink for NXP S32Z/E Automotive Real-Time Processors. This new release supports S32Z/E2 families and its cores (Real-Time ARM Cortex-R52 cores and DSP/ML processor). It also supports Multicore, 41 Operators highly optimized for DSP/ML processor, Processor-in-Loop Simulation mode, RTD components (ADC, PWM, DIO, CAN, UART, GPT), FreeMASTER, AMMCLib, and execution profiling. The product comes with 120 examples, covering all DSP/ML processor Operators and demonstrating the usage of the peripherals (e.g.: I/O control, timers and scheduling, communication) and multicore concurrent execution.

Target audience:

This product is part of the Automotive SW – Model-Based Design Toolbox.
