Product Release Announcement Analog & Automotive Embedded Systems NXP Model-Based Design Toolbox for S32ZE – version 1.4.0

The Analog & Automotive Embedded Systems, Model-Based Design Tools Team at NXP Semiconductors, is pleased to announce the release of the Model-Based Design Toolbox for S32Z/E version 1.4.0. This release supports automatic code generation from MATLAB and Simulink for NXP S32Z/E Automotive Real-Time Processors. This new release supports S32Z2/E2 families and its cores (Real-Time ARM Cortex-R52 cores and DSP/ML processor). It also supports Multicore, 41 Mathematical Operators highly optimized for DSP/ML processor, Processor-in-Loop Simulation mode, RTD components (ADC, PWM, DIO, CAN, UART, GPT, SPI, Application Extension), FreeMASTER, AMMCLib, and execution profiling. The product comes with 40 examples, covering DSP/ML 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. FlexNet Location: https://nxp.flexnetoperations.com/control/frse/download?element=7702701 Technical Support: NXP Model-Based Design Toolbox for S32ZE issues will be tracked through the NXP Model-Based Design Tools Community space. Release Content: The newly added features are highlighted with bold. Automatic C code generation from MATLAB® for NXP S32Z2/E2 packages: S32E2xx-bga975 S32Z2xx-bga594 S32Z2xx-bga400 GreenBox 3 The toolbox has been tested and validated on the official NXP Evaluation Boards S32E27X-DC S32Z27X-DC GreenBox 3 Rev. B Only S32Z2/E2 chips with DSP/ML option B can use the SPF2 core and associated software Support for the following peripheral components and functions: Application Extension (AE) for S32E: FlexPWM, eTimer, SAR ADC, CTU SPI ADC PWM DIO CAN UART GPT  Multicore support using Concurrent Execution from Simulink Multicore support using Simulink Reference Configurations New Hybrid-Electrical Vehicle (HEV) Example with Virtual Vehicle Composer (VVC) Tool from MathWorks New RTD version supported (2.0.1) New SPF2CE version supported (1.0.0) New AMMCLib version supported (1.1.41) New SPF2 Libraries (MATLAB) version supported (20.4.8) New FreeMASTER Driver version supported (1.4.2) Integration with EB tresos v29.0.0 Provides 2 modes of operation: Basic – using pre-configured configurations for peripherals; useful for quick hardware evaluation and testing Advanced – using S32 Configuration Tools or EB tresos to configure peripherals/pins/clocks Default Configuration Project Templates targeting all the supported derivatives Support for creating and using Custom Project Templates 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. Integrates the Automotive Math and Motor Control Library release 1.1.41 All functions in the Automotive Math and Motor Control Functions Library v1.1.41 are supported as blocks for simulation and embedded target code generation. FreeMASTER Integration 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. S32 Design Studio integration 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. Simulation modes We provide support for the following simulation modes (each of them being useful for validation and verification): Software-in-Loop (SIL) Processor-in-Loop (PIL) Multicore support using Concurrent Execution from Simulink HEV Example using Virtual Vehicle Composer Support for MATLAB versions We added support for the following MATLAB versions: R2023a R2023b R2024a R2024b R2025a R2025b More than 40 examples , covering all the peripheral/function supported I/O Control Application Extension (AE) for motor control applications Timers and scheduling Communication (CAN, SPI, UART) Memory handling DSP/ML processor AMMCLib FreeMASTER SIL / PIL Multicore For more details, features, and how to use the new functionalities, please refer to the Release Notes and User Manual documents attached. MATLAB® Integration:  The NXP Model-Based Design Toolbox extends the MATLAB® and Simulink® experience by allowing customers to evaluate and use NXP’s S32Z/E Real-Time Processors and evaluation board solutions out-of-the-box. NXP Model-Based Design Toolbox for S32ZE version 1.4.0 is fully integrated with MATLAB® environment. Target Audience: This release (1.4.0) is intended for technology demonstration, evaluation purposes, and prototyping S32Z/E Real-Time Processors and Evaluation Boards.
