This document shows the step-by-step process to create a simple blinking LED application for the S32R45 family using the S32 RTD AUTOSAR drivers. This example used for the S32R45 EVB, connected via ethernet connection through S32 Debugger. Preparation Setup the software tools Install S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform Install the S32R45 development package and the S32R45 RTD AUTOSAR 4.4. Both of these are required for the S32 Configuration Tools. image.png Launch S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform Procedure New S32DS Project image.png OR image.png Provide a name for the project, for example 'Blinking_LED_RTD_With_AUTOSAR'. The name must be entered with no space characters. Expand Family S32R45, Select S32R45 Cortex-M7 image.png Click Next Click '…' button next to SDKs DanielBarbu_0-1718877870253.png   Check box next to PlatformSDK_S32RXX_4_0_0_S32R45_M7_0. (or whichever latest SDK for the S32R45 is installed). Click OK image.png And also, uncheck the other cores Cortex_M7_1 ,  Cortex_M7_2. DanielBarbu_1-1718878251771.png   Click Finish. Wait for project generation wizard to complete, then expand the project within the Project Explorer view to show the contents. image.png To control the LED on the board, some configuration needs to be performed within the Pins Tool. There are several ways to do this. One simple way by double-click on the MEX file. image.png Select the overview tab and disable Pins tool. Make sure to overview tab windows shows settings shown as below.  Here, we are disabling pin tools and using MCAL driver from peripheral tools for using AUTOSAR drivers. image.png Now from Overview menu, select peripheral tools and double click to open it. image.png In the driver sections, “Siul2_Port_1 driver” is the non-AUTOSAR version driver and so it must be replaced. Right click on ‘Siul2_Port_1’ and remove it. Keep osif_1 driver as it is. image.png Click on the ‘+’ next to the MCAL box. image.png Click on the ‘+’ next to the MCAL box again, and Locate and then select the ‘Dio’ component from the list and click OK. image.png Click on the ‘+’ next to the MCAL box again, and Locate and then select the ‘Mcu’ component from the list and click OK. image.png Click on the ‘+’ next to the MCAL box again, and Locate and then select the ‘Port’ component from the list and click OK. image.png Now components tab should show like below : image.png Now we required to configure the different MCAL drivers that we added. Starting with Dio configuration, open the Dio configuration. Now, open the ‘DioConfig’ tab, and Edit Dio Port id to 3 as shown below: image.png Now, in “Dio Configuration” window only, Select  “+” sign adjacent to DioChannel. image.png Then Edit Name to “Digital_Output_LED” and Dio Channel Id to ‘5’ instead of ‘0’. image.png From the schematic for S32GR45 EVB, checking for user LED from the schematic, channel 5 is connected to user LED signal, so we use channel 5 signal line to the chip for the user LED. So, we select the singal line for Dio channel Id 5 for the user LED connected on the S32R45 EVB. Now Select Port tab for Port configuration. And open the Port Configuration tab, and from that open “PortConfigSet” tab. Change the PortPin Mscr to ‘53’ and slew rate to ‘SRE_208MHZ_1_8V_166MHZ_3_3V’ and, PortPin Direction to PORT_PIN_INOUT as shown below: image.png Now, at the bottom you will find the “UnTouchedPortPin ’’ . Click on “+’’ and add PortPins. image.png Now add port pins 0, 1, 2, 3 as per below configuration image.png image.png image.png image.png Now configure MCU component. Select Mcu component in MCAL, and then open the Mcu configuration. In Mcu configuration click on MCUModuleConfiguration and then select “McuModesettingConf” from the dropdown menu as shown below. image.png From McuModeSettingConf, select McuPartitionConfiguration tab. Then open the “McuPartition0Config” tab. And under the McuCore0Configuration or “McuCoreClockEnable” select checkbox and for “McuCoreResetEnable” uncheck the checkbox. Similarly, And under the McuCore1Configuration for “McuCoreClockEnable” select checkbox  and for “McuCoreResetEnable” uncheck the checkbox. Similarly, And under the McuCore2Configuration for “McuCoreClockEnable” select checkbox and for “McuCoreResetEnable” uncheck  the checkbox. After modification it should be as shown below: image.png Now open the “McuPartition1Config” tab. for " Partition1 Clock Enable" select checkmark to true and for " Partition1 Clock Reset Enable" uncheck the checkmark for " CA53 CORE 0 cluster0 Core Clock Enable" select checkmark to true and for " Cortex-A53 Core 0 cluster 0 Clock Reset Enable" uncheck  the checkmark In the McuCore1Configuration, and for " Cortex-A53 Core 1 cluster 0 Clock Reset Enable" uncheck the checkmark In the McuCore2Configuration, for " Cortex-A53 CORE 0 cluster 1 Core Clock Enable" select checkmark to true and for " Cortex-A53 CORE 0 cluster 1 Clock Reset Enable" uncheck the checkmark In the McuCore3Configuration, for " Cortex-A53 CORE 0 cluster 1 Clock Reset Enable" uncheck the checkmark After modification it should be as shown below: image.png Now open the “McuPartition2Config” tab. for " Partition2 Clock Enable" select checkmark to true and for " Partition2 Clock Reset Enable" uncheck the checkmark image.png Now open the “McuPartition3Config” tab. for " Partition3 Clock Enable" select checkmark to true and for " Partition3 Clock Reset Enable" uncheck the checkmark image.png Now the device configurations are complete and the RTD configuration code can be generated. Click ‘Update Code’ from the menu bar. image.png To control the output pin which was just configured, some application code will need to be written. Return to the ‘C/C++’ perspective. image.png If not already open, in the project window click the ‘>’ next to the ‘src’ folder to show the contents, then double click ‘main.c’ file to open it. This is where the application code will be added. image.png Before anything else is done, Initialize the clock tree and apply PLL as system clock, Apply a mode configuration, Initialize all pins using the Port driver by adding – editing code before write code here comment in main function.        /* Initialize the Mcu driver */        Mcu_Init(&Mcu_Config_BOARD_InitPeripherals);        /* Initialize the clock tree and apply PLL as system clock */        Mcu_InitClock(McuClockSettingConfig_0);        /* Apply a mode configuration */        Mcu_SetMode(McuModeSettingConf_0);        /* Initialize all pins using the Port driver */        Port_Init(NULL_PTR); image.png Now replace the logic of for loop as shown below code section in the main function, which will enable the LED blinking for 10 times: You also need to declare and initialize the loop variable uint8 i = 0U; . Then replace the code as below after write your code comment: /*Logic for blinking LED 10 times*/ while (i++ < 10) {           /* Get input level of channels */           Dio_WriteChannel(DioConf_DioChannel_Digital_Output_LED, STD_HIGH);           TestDelay(3000000);           Dio_WriteChannel(DioConf_DioChannel_Digital_Output_LED, STD_LOW);           TestDelay(3000000); } image.png Before the 'main' function, add a delay function as follows: void TestDelay(uint32 delay); void TestDelay(uint32 delay) {      static volatile uint32 DelayTimer = 0;      while(DelayTimer<delay)      {             DelayTimer++;      }      DelayTimer=0; } image.png Update the includes lines at the top of the main.c file to include the headers for the drivers used in the application: Add #include "Mcu.h" #include "Port.h" #include "Dio.h" image.png Build 'Blinking_LED_RTD_AUTOSAR'. Select the project name in 'C/C++ Projects' view and then press 'Build'. image.png After the build completes, check that there are no errors. image.png Open Debug Configurations and select 'Blinking_LED_RTD_with_AUTOSAR_Debug_RAM'. Make sure to select the configuration which matches the build type performed, otherwise it may report an error if the build output doesn’t exist. And make selection as shown in screenshot below. You need to select the ethernet connection for S32 debugger and provide its IP address image.png Click Debug To see the LED blink, click ‘Resume' image.png This code as it will blink the LED 10 times, you can make changes in for loop condition to blink it infinitely.

Sometimes you need an output file other than the standard ELF, like a FLASH image. This instruction shows how to setup the selected build type to generate an additional output from the supported file types.   Go to Project Properties Right click on the Project name in Project Explorer -> Properties, OR Select the Project name in Project Explorer, select from pulldown menu Project -> Properties image.png Navigate to C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Cross Settings, check the box for ‘Create flash image’. Be sure to take note that the build configuration set in the Configuration field is correct one. The change you make here will only apply to the selected configuration. image.png Scroll the window down until you can see the ‘Apply’ button, then click on it. image.png You can specify output in newly appeared option Standard S32DS Create flash image image.png Build the project. The new output file is generated. image.png image.png

  In some cases FreeRTOS heap can consume huge portion of RAM memory - especially on small devices like S32K312 and for example DTCM memory is unused. FreeRTOS allows user defined heap which can be moved in any section in RAM.  First step - make sure, that in FreeRTOS config is application allocated heap is disabled: jiri_kral_0-1718190416022.png   Second step - open linker script file and create new section which points into DTCM memory:  jiri_kral_1-1718190506796.png    Third step - define ucHeap variable with section attribute:  jiri_kral_2-1718190668763.png    We are done - FreeRTOS Heap is moved into DTCM memory:  jiri_kral_3-1718190832690.png   In case, that DTCM memory is used - typically there can be Interrupt Vector Table, stack and so on, you can skip creating new section in linker script file and simply add *(my_head) at the end of existing section mapped into dtcm:  jiri_kral_0-1718363614138.png   FreeRTOS heap will be placet at the end of used DTCM memory:  jiri_kral_1-1718363685771.png    

The S32K3 RTD 2.0.0 lacks SIUL2 external interrupt function. Siul2_Icu is part of Icu(Input Capture Unit), the main function of the example should have been: use the Icu and Dio drivers to toggle a LED on a push button. But it doesn't. So this document will show the step-by-step process to add 'SIUL2 external interrupt' function in Siul2_Port_Ip_Example_S32K344 using the S32K3xx RTD LLD(Low Level Driver) and the S32 Configuration Tools. This example is for the S32K3X4EVB-Q257, connected to a PC through USB (OpenSDA) connection. Preparation Setup the software tools Install S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform Install the S32K1xx development package and the S32K1 RTD AUTOSAR 4.4. Both of these are required for the S32 Configuration Tools. S32K3 RTD AUTOSAR 4.4 Version 2.0.0.png Launch S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform Procedure 1. Import Siul2_Port_Ip_Example_S32K344 example File->New->S32DS Project from Example Create Siul2_Port_Ip_Example_S32K344.png It can be seen that in the Icu (Input Capture Unit Driver) folder of S32K3 RTD 2.0.0, there are only interrupt routines implemented by the Emios module for the time being, and external interrupt routines for the EIRQ pin of the Siul2 module does not exist. Here we import the Siul2_Port_Ip_Example_S32K344 routine, and add the Siul2_Icu part on this basis. AN13435 ICU SIUL2.png S32K3 real time driver COMPONENTS.png   2. Add push button and LED in Pins tool Add the pins for user buttons (SW4 PTB26 SIUL2 eirq13) according to the S32K3X4EVB-Q257. Pins Tool.png S32K3X4EVB-Q172_SCH_RevA.png   3. Add IntCtrl_Ip component Go to Peripherals tool. Here we can see that the ‘Siul2_Dio’ and ‘Siul2_Port’ components are already added. Drivers default.png From the Components view, click on ‘Add a new configuration component…’ button from the Drivers category. This will bring up a list of non-AUTOSAR components. Locate and then select the ‘IntCtrl_Ip’ component from the list and click OK. IntCtrl_Ip step1.png Option 1: Keep the default setting after add ‘IntCtrl_Ip’ component(Here we didn't change the settings of ‘IntCtrl_Ip’, nor use IntCtrl_Ip_Init and IntCtrl_Ip_ConfigIrqRouting API to enable interrupts and install handlers in IntCtrl_Ip).This routine only uses one interrupt, so we will call IntCtrl_Ip_InstallHandler and IntCtrl_Ip_EnableIrq those two APIs to install and enable the SIUL2 EIRQ13 IRQ separately. IntCtrl_Ip step3.png Option 2: User can enable many interrupts in the Interrupt Controller configuration(Note user can only add one interrupt controller configuration in the RTD); Meanwhile, it can set interrupt’s priority separately. The two APIs IntCtrl_Ip_Init and IntCtrl_Ip_ConfigIrqRouting can initialize these interrupts as a whole. Interrupt Controller.png The name of the Handler in the Generic Interrupt Settings tab needs to be the same as the name in peripheral_Ip_Irq.c of the corresponding peripheral. For example, this routine uses the PTB26 SIUL2 EIRQ13 external interrupt, which can be found in RTD/src/Siul2_Icu_Ip_Irq.c: ISR(SIUL2_EXT_IRQ_8_15_ISR) Generic Interrupt Settings.png According to the "Table 35" of S32K3XXRM reference manual, we can see the SIUL2 EIRQ13(PTB26) external interrupt used in this routine belongs to SIUL_1_IRQn and the Handler name SIUL2_EXT_IRQ_8_15_ISR. Table 35. Interrupt source mapping to SIUL2 interrupt request output for 32 interrupt sources.png   4. Add Siul2_Icu component Click on ‘Add a new configuration component…’ button from the Drivers category. Locate and then select the ‘Siul2_Icu’ component from the list and click OK. Siul2_Icu step1.png Figure 22. External interrupt pad diagram.png Step 5 select SIUL2_0_IRQ_CH_13 because this routine selects the onboard SW4 PTB26 SIUL2 EIRQ13 external interrupt (the onboard SW5 PTB19 pin has no EIRQ external interrupt function, so I did not added here). Step 6 set DIRER0[EIREn] to enable this external interrupt pin. Siul2_Icu IcuHwInterruptConfigList.png Step 8 set the IFCPR[IFCP] filter clock prescaler. Step 10 input 13 for the Hardware channel due to we use SIUL2 EIRQ13. Step 11 set IFER0[IFEn] to enable the glitch filter for the external interrupt pin. Step 12 set IFMCRn[MAXCNT] to assign value to the external interrupt filter counter. Siul2_Icu IcuSiul2.png Step 14 select the IcuSiu2Channel_0 channel configured in the IcuSiul2 tab above. Step 15 select the ICU_RISING_EDGE according to the SW4 button circuit (press to generate a rising edge). Step 16 Because the SIUL2 EIRQ external interrupt is used in this routine, ICU_MODE_SIGNAL_EDGE_DETECT mode must be selected. Step 17 add the corresponding callback function name. That is, it corresponds to the notification after the SIUL2 EIRQ external interrupt pin captures the rising edge (the interrupt flag does not need to be cleared here, the driver has already been implemented it). Siul2_Icu IcuChannels.png   5. Include the headers for the drivers used in the application #include "Siul2_Icu_Ip.h" #include "IntCtrl_Ip.h"   6. Add Siul2_Icu LLD APIs Siul2_Icu_Ip_Init is used to initialize all Siul2_Icu channels generated by the S32 Configuration Tools (this routine only configures the channel SW4 PTB26 SIUL2 EIRQ13). Siul2_Icu_Ip_EnableInterrupt enable Siul2 IRQ interrupt for the specified channels. Siul2_Icu_Ip_EnableNotification enable callback function of Siul2 IRQ interrupt for the specified channels. This routine uses the SW4 button to trigger the PTB26 SIUL2 EIRQ13 external interrupt callback function SW4_eirq13_PTB26_Callback to flip the PTB18 D33 red LED. Siul2_Icu API.png   7. Add IntCtrl LLD APIs IntCtrl_Ip_InstallHandler installs the SIUL2_EXT_IRQ_8_15_ISR interrupt handler generated by the S32 Configuration Tools. IntCtrl_Ip_EnableIrq enables the corresponding interrupt. Why input SIUL_1_IRQn and SIUL2_EXT_IRQ_8_15_ISR has been explained at the end of "4. Adding the IntCtrl_Ip component" above.

S32 Design Studio is free-of-charge software that just requires to be activated. The activation process is incorporated into the S32DS installer. Before you proceed to the installation you always need to get an activation code. The activation code is typically sent automatically to your email registered on nxp.com account when you proceed to downloading of S32DS installer. The example of notification email is below:     There are two types of activation you can choose from - online and offline. If your machine is connected to the Internet then in most cases you just select online activation and S32DS gets activated automatically without any additional steps required.   Anyway if the computer that you are installing S32 Design Studio into has no internet access or there are some firewall/antivirus/infrastructure restrictions that voids the online activation you can select offline activation type instead. This document describes the offline activation process step-by-step:   Step 1. S32 Design studio for Arm/Power/Vision installer pops up the "S32DS Activation" dialog  where you first enter your activation ID and select activation type as offline Step 2. The Offline process will require to save an activation request file -"request.xml". Please save this file into a local folder or an USB drive. Step 3. Software will then require an activation response. To get this file move to a station with the Internet connection. We will get back here once we have activation response file ready. Step 4. Look for the Internet connection and take the "request.xml" file with you. Go to https://www.nxp.com/security/login  click on Apps and Services >  "Software Licensing and Support > Click on View Accounts chrome_2022-09-20_10-32-23.png jiri_kral_0-1663663175551.png Step 5. In product information page look for the "Offline Activation" option on the left menu. Step 6. Click on "Choose File" and select the "request.xml" file generated in Step 2.  Press "Process" button to get the "activation.xml" file. This file will be downloaded.   Step 7. Save "activation.xml" file and take it to the original offline station, go back to the Activation response dialog described by Step 3. Step 8.  Load file and installation will be finished. S32 design studio will be activated with your activation ID.

S32DS ARM2.2 K144xx fPic Example description. Provided example demonstrate possibility of creation Position Independent Code using  standard  S32DS ARM 2.2 tools.  Example code blink RGB LED using svc interrupt handler. Output  picExample.bin should be loaded via restore gdb command only into existing K144 RAM area(0x1fff8000 – 20007000 for EVB board), then pc set to startup value.(see picExample_Debug_RAM_PNE_fpic  Debug configuration). Note: restore gdb command needs absolute path to *.bin file. Example is based on standard K144 application. Changes: -fPIC option should be set(Project->Properties->C/C++ Build ->Settings->Standard S32DS Compiler->Miscalenous->Position Independent Code). Create flash image checkbox should bes set.( Project->Properties->Cross Settings -> Create flash image).

Bare-metal project migration from an older version of S32DS into a newer one is typically pretty straightforward. Despite of that the migration into S32DS Power v1.2+ requires more attention due the fact it includes a new version of GCC compiler + GCC binutils (see the GCC release notes - here). This version of GCC is now fully EABI VLE compliant  (in contrast to previous versions of S32DS Power  v1.0 and v1.1) and it has several consequences for the project migration object code/libraries are not backward compatible - if you have an object code/library built by a previous version of S32DS Power v1.x you have to rebuild it in new S32DS v1.2+ compiler. default compiler setup has changed - bitfield access is not volatile anymore. This may have a impact on a peripheral registers access via standard header file bitfield structures. Such access may require a specific load/store instruction e.g. "stw" but if compiler is allowed to optimize the access (e.g. use "stb" instead of "stw") an exception may occur. Therefore it is recommended to add  -fstrict-volatile-bitfields  flag into your project GCC compiler settings: linker script file (*.ld) requires some additional linker sections - Linker script file in S32DS Power v1.2+ must contain the sections below: •  KEEP for .init and .fini sections • .ctors and .dtors sections • .preinit array .init array and .fini array sections If the linker script file is not updated and the linker warnings are ignored you may experience an exception at the runtime - typically when __init routine is executed. Missing .init section causes that an invalid instructions is fetched and causes the core IVOR exception. There is an easy way how to automatically fix the linker script file issue directly in IDE. If you import and build an older project in S32DS Power v1.2 the linker issues these linker script related warnings: Right click on the warning and select Quick Fix: Select "Add missed section in linker script"  + "Select All" and press "Finish". Repeat these steps until all the linker script warnings disappears. If you don't use IDE project you have to add the sections below into your linker script manually: .text_vle : { INPUT_SECTION_FLAGS (SHF_PPC_VLE) *(.text.startup) *(.text) *(.text.*) KEEP (*(.init)) KEEP (*(.fini)) . = ALIGN(16); } > m_text /* that will force pick VLE .text sections */ .ctors : { __CTOR_LIST__ = .; /* gcc uses crtbegin.o to find the start of the constructors, so we make sure it is first. Because this is a wildcard, it doesn't matter if the user does not actually link against crtbegin.o; the linker won't look for a file to match a wildcard. The wildcard also means that it doesn't matter which directory crtbegin.o is in. */ KEEP (*crtbegin.o(.ctors)) KEEP (*crtbegin?.o(.ctors)) /* We don't want to include the .ctor section from from the crtend.o file until after the sorted ctors. The .ctor section from the crtend file contains the end of ctors marker and it must be last */ KEEP (*(EXCLUDE_FILE(*crtend?.o *crtend.o) .ctors)) KEEP (*(SORT(.ctors.*))) KEEP (*(.ctors)) __CTOR_END__ = .; } > m_text .dtors : { __DTOR_LIST__ = .; KEEP (*crtbegin.o(.dtors)) KEEP (*crtbegin?.o(.dtors)) KEEP (*(EXCLUDE_FILE(*crtend?.o *crtend.o) .dtors)) KEEP (*(SORT(.dtors.*))) KEEP (*(.dtors)) __DTOR_END__ = .; } > m_text .preinit_array : { PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__preinit_array_start = .); KEEP (*(.preinit_array*)) PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__preinit_array_end = .); } > m_text .init_array : { PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__init_array_start = .); KEEP (*(SORT(.init_array.*))) KEEP (*(.init_array*)) PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__init_array_end = .); } > m_text .fini_array : { PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__fini_array_start = .); KEEP (*(SORT(.fini_array.*))) KEEP (*(.fini_array*)) PROVIDE_HIDDEN (__fini_array_end = .); } > m_text‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ This may help you to avoid time consuming debugging to figure out the root cause of the core exception.

PEmicro’s GDB Server can take advantage of four useful SWO debug tools: Power Measurement SWO ITM Console SWO Data capture Real-Time Expressions. This document describes how to enable and use these features. Note: To set up streaming for SWO debug features, the user should check the “Enable Streaming” checkbox in Debug Configurations during setup. Then the port should be specified in the Streaming Server Port text box. Hardware Requirements The following versions (or later) of PEmicro hardware interfaces are required to take advantage of SWO streaming functionality: Multilink FX Rev. C Multilink Universal Rev. D Multilink ACMP Rev. B Real-Time Power Measurement To enable Power Measurement capture, an active debug session must already be in process. Click the Gear Icon on the title bar of the PEmicro "Power Measurement” window. Select the frequency of data capture and check the Enable box. After clicking OK, Power Recording is now active. Note:    The Multilink FX debug probe is required for Real-Time Power Measurement Power Configuration Dialog The next time the target MCU is run, real-time power measurement readings will be shown. The user can start/stop power recording, zoom, export data, and more SWO Printf Console The SWO Printf Console will display messages which are streamed through the SWO pin and captured by the Multilink. There are two main configuration steps needed to leverage this feature. First, the project must be configured to re-direct the printf() statements to the SWO Printf peripheral. This is done at project creation time. Second, the green "Play" button on the SWO ITM Console needs to be clicked during an active debug session. This will cause data collection of SWO printf information to occur on the next Resume. Once data is streaming, the red “Stop” button will stop data streaming. Printf() Statements Displayed In SWO ITM Console The Multilink automatically measures the data communication rate on the SWO pin and adjusts to it automatically. This auto-detect sequence is done each time the processor is stopped in debug mode. If the running code changes the core frequency, a breakpoint should be set after the frequency change so the Multilink can adjust to the new SWO communications rate (which is a function of the core frequency). SWO Data capture The SWO Data view allows the user to configure variables to be tracked such that any reads and writes to these variables are captured and streamed to the Multilink via the SWO pin. This view shows all of the realtime access which have occurred along with the timing of the different accesses. For SWO data, there is a bit more setup.  The user needs to select the 'Eyeglasses+' symbol which will bring up a popup of Add datawatch items.  Simply enter the information of the different variables to be tracked. Up to four separate variables can be tracked simultaneously. In this example, we select that we wish to capture read and writes of the ledsOn and seconds variables. Once added, the user needs to select which watches data will be captured by checking the "Enable trace" boxes in the SWO Data window and then click the Green Arrow to set the program to start capture on Resume.Upon resuming the application, the right side of the window will show the access which are occurring. Note that this happens in real-time; the microcontroller is not stopped when accesses occur (i.e. the is separate from data breakpoints). Variable Read/Writes Displayed In Real Time The Multilink automatically measures the data communication rate on the SWO pin and adjusts to it automatically. This auto-detect sequence is done each time the processor is stopped in debug mode. If the running code changes the core frequency, a breakpoint should be set after the frequency change so the Multilink can adjust to the new SWO communications rate (which is a function of the core frequency). Real-Time Expressions This view is similar to the standard Eclipse "Expressions" window with the exception that its contents will update in real-time without the device being halted in debug mode. Just add the appropriate variables to the Real Time Expressions window and you will see them updating in real-time. Add Variables To Real-Time Expressions Windows

On some versions of Windows 10, there is an issue which could impact your ability to open documents from the Getting Started page in S32 Design Studio. While we have resolved this issue in some of the newer releases, not all editions of S32 Design Studio have been updated since this issue was discovered. Also, you may required to use an older release. The problem occurs when a document linked within the Getting Started window of S32 Design Studio. The S32 Design Studio is configured to use the Windows default web browser to open the files. For some Windows 10 installations, Microsoft Edge is the default browser and it is unable to correctly open the requested file. The typical error message is as shown below: To resolve the issue, it is necessary to change the default browser within your Windows preferences. Here are some steps to do that: 1) Click on 'Settings' from the Windows Start Menu 2) Type 'browser' in the search bar, then select 'Choose a default web browser' 3) Click on the currently selected Web browser to bring up the selection menu and select 'Internet Explorer' or 'Google Chrome' 4) Relaunch S32 Design Studio and try again to open the document from the link in Getting Started page.
