Condition:  I am trying FreeRTOS using S32K118 EVB and run in DEBUG mode. When I set the break point in vTaskDelay and press Resume for the first time, there is a smooth stop at the break point. The second time I press Resume, the debugger should enter the same break point again, but there is no response. Then I press Suspend and can't press Resume again, at this point I can only leave. However, I am free to run this project with no problem, what's wrong? Analysis: This is due to an access of DDR memory region which is not initialized by default project settings. Solution: To resolve it, a macro initializing the DDR memory should be selected to run at the beginning of a debug session. A user should go to Advanced Options dialog and check "Enable initialization script". Our DDR init macros can be found at the following location within S32DS3.2 layout: eclipse\plugins\com.pemicro.debug.gdbjtag.pne_4.2.8.201909091700\win32\gdi\P&E\supportFiles_ARM\NXP\S32Vxxx\S32V234M100_DDR3_EVB29288.mac. Please note that the type of the macro might depend on the revision of the board and S32V23x device one is working with. I am also attaching a picture of debug configuration and Advanced Options dialog with all the settings in place.

This application demonstrate integration Processor Expert (PE) RAppID Suite for  MPC5777M initialization tool with S32 Design Studio for Power v1.1. There is a separate RAppID project and RAppID Workspace folder included in this project:       This multicore project first initializes the device (PinMux, Clocks, PIT timer). Each core toggles with one LED with different time period. Z4_0 core: LED1...GPDO[0] Z7_0 core: LED2...GPDO[1] Z7_1 core: LED3...GPDO[2]     Yo can adjust the device initialization in PE RappID (open included workspace), generate the code and finally rebuild the project in S32DS.   Note:  Do not let generate PE_Types.h file since it includes some non-vle instructions mixed with VLE ones - this cannot be built by S32DS compiler. linker command file generation needs to be disabled otherwise it generates HighTec specific keywords that S32DS GCC linker does not understand.    Test HW:       MPC5777M-512DS, MPC57xx Motherboard MCU:             PPC5777MQMVA8 0N78H Debugger:    PeMicro USB-ML-PPCNEXUS Target:           Debug (internal flash) EVB connection:  USER LED1 connected to P8.0, LED2 connected to P8.1 LED3 connected to P8.2

Please note: AMMCLib SDK is standalone from S32/MPC SDK, it is intended for users who will not use the S32/MPC SDK. The AMMCLib SDK does not support all toolchains listed in S32DS new project wizard. For the toolchains it does support, It does not support all versions. The available SDKs will vary depending upon the toolchain which is selected. When creating a new S32DS Application Project, you may have noticed the S32K14x_AMMCLib_xxx SDK option in the Select SDK menu. This is the standalone version of the AMMCLib. If you plan to use one of the S32/MPC SDKs, then it most likely contains an integrated version of the AMMCLib. For this integrated case, the AMMCLib is accessed like any other S32/MPC SDK component and you would not need to add the standalone version. To add the AMMCLib SDK to your project, simply add it in the New Project Wizard (as pictured above) or add it later through the project properties menu, SDKs: Select the SDK from the list and then click 'Attach/Detach...' Click in the column for each build configuration for which you wish to have the SDK attached. You can remove SDKs by clicking the '+', causing it to disappear. It should also be noted that there exist example projects which demonstrate usage of the AMMCLib, though these show usage of the S32/MPC SDK integrated version. When working in your project, you can use the SDK Explorer to drag and drop macros and function calls into your code. To add the SDK Explorer view to your perspective, there are at least 2 methods: 1) Menu method a) Window -> Show View -> Other... OR Alt + Shift + Q, Q b) Filter on 'SDK' c) Select 'SDK Explorer' d) Click OK 2) Quick Access method a) Type 'SDK' b) Select 'SDK Explorer' To access the macros and function calls from the SDK Explorer: 1) Go to the Project Explorer and select your project to make it active. 2) Go to SDK Explorer and all of the SDKs you included in the project will be listed. 3) For the SDK you wish to access, expand the folders and files until you can see the function you wish to add. You can set some filters to hide unwanted content. 4) Simply drag and drop the macro/function call into your source file. The #include statement for the associated header file will be automatically added near the top of your source file. Happy math coding with AMMCLib!
