The FreeMASTER serial communication driver is a piece of code that enables an embedded application to communicate with the FreeMASTER PC application. Please note: The FreeMASTER_S32xx does not support all Toolchains and not all versions of supported Toolchains. The available SDKs will vary depending upon the toolchain which is selected. It is independent of the S32/MPC SDKs. In most cases, it is not integrated with the S32/MPC SDKs, although this could change in the future. When creating a new S32DS Application Project, you may have noticed the FreeMASTER_S32xx SDK option in the Select SDK menu. To add the FreeMASTER 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 desired SDK from the list, 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 '+', making it disappear. It should also be noted that there exists example projects which demonstrate usage of the FreeMASTER serial communication driver, though these do not use the FreeMASTER SDK, the driver was added manually. 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 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 FreeMASTER serial communicating!

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!

Perhaps you are just using the S32DS for Power for the first time, and maybe you've seen the provided examples and want to learn a bit more about how they were created. Here are the steps to create a simple application for the MCP5748G MCU which toggles a pin causing one of the user LEDs to blink. This example includes use of the S32 SDK for Power Architecture. Please note: There are options in the steps below to cover the case of either the DEV-KIT(DEVKIT-MPC5748G) or Motherboard(X-MPC574XG-MB) with Daughtercard(X-MPC574XG-324DS) hardware EVBs. 1) Launch S32DS for Power 2) Select File -> New -> New S32DS Project 3) Enter a name for the project, such as 'BlinkingLED' 4) Locate, from the list of processors, Family MPC574xG -> MPC5748G, and select it. 5) Click Next 6) Uncheck the boxes for cores e200z4 and e200z2, leaving just e200z4 (boot) checked. This is because the application will run on the boot core and will not use either of the other two cores. 7) Click on the '…' button next to SDKs, in the column for BlinkingLED_Z4_0. 😎 Check the box next to MPC5748G_SDK_Z4_0_GCC to include support for the SDK within the new project and for the core we have selected. 9) Click OK 10) Click Finish to close the New Project wizard window and start the project generation. 11) Wait a minute or two for the project generation script to complete. 12) Go to the 'Components Library' view then locate and double-click on 'pit' component to add it to the project.  Alternatively, right-click and select Add to project. You can verify it was added by inspecting the 'Components - <project_name>' view. 13) With 'pit' selected in the 'Components - BlinkingLED_Z4_0' view, go to the 'Component Inspector' view to see the configurations for the PIT component. Locate the section for 'Configuration 0'. You may have to scroll down to see it. Change the 'Time period' setting to 500000 microsec(0.5 sec). Note that we are editing the settings for Clock configuration 'clockMan_InitConfig0', you will need the name of this configuration later. 14) Back in the 'Components' view, select 'pin_mux' component and return to the 'Component Inspector' view 15) From the 'Routing' tab, select the 'SIUL2' sub-tab and scroll down the Signals list until 'GPIO_0' (DEV-KIT) or 'GPIO_99' (Motherboard) is shown. 16) Change to the following settings: a. Pin/Signal Selection: PA[0] (DEV-KIT) / PG[3] (Motherboard) b. Direction: Output Pin PA0/PG3 is connected to user LED 2 on the evaluation board. 17) All configuration settings are now complete. Click Generate Processor Expert code button in the 'Components' view or use the menu bar Project-> Generate Processor Expert Code. 18) Wait for the code generation to complete. 19) Now, from the 'Project Explorer' view, the generated code is visible in the folder 'Generated_Code' of the project 'BlinkingLED_Z4_0'. 20) If not already open, in 'Project Explorer' open the file 'BlinkngLED_Z4_0\Sources\main.c' by double-click. This will open the file in the editor view. 21) Scroll down until the following comments are shown: /* Write your code here */ /* For example: for(;;) { } */ We need to add some code here to initialize the clocks, timers and pins. Then we will setup a timer interrupt handler to toggle the pin. 22) First we need to initialize the clocks. From the 'Components' view, expand 'clock_manager' and then drag & drop CLOCK_DRV_Init function into main() of main.c, just after the comments identified in the previous step within the text editor view. 23) Add to the function CLOCK_DRV_Init(), the parameter &clockMan1_InitConfig0 to give it the address of the user configuration structure generated by ProcessorExpert in '.../Generated_Code/clockMan1.c'. This is the clock configuration for which we edited the timer period in an earlier step. 24) Next we need to initialize the pins. Back in the 'Components' view, expand the 'pin_mux' then drag and drop the function PINS_DRV_Init after the clock initialization. 25) Again from the 'Components' view, expand 'interrupt_manager', then drag & drop INT_SYS_InstallHandler in 'main()'. This installs the PIT channel 0 interrupt handler. 26) Enter the parameters: PIT_Ch0_IRQn, &pitCh0Handler, NULL 27) In the User includes section at the start of main.c, add the implementation of the handler a. Create a function called pitCh0Handler b. In the function body: clear the interrupt flag and toggle LED   /* IRQ handler for PIT ch0 interrupt */   void pitCh0Handler(void)   { /* Clear PIT channel 0 interrupt flag */ PIT_DRV_ClearStatusFlags(INST_PIT1, 0U); /* Toggle LED (GPIO 0 connected to user LED 2) */ SIUL2->GPDO[0] ^= SIUL2_GPDO_PDO_4n_MASK; // DEV-KIT /* SIUL2->GPDO[99/4] ^=SIUL2_GPDO_PDO_4n3_MASK;*/ // Motherboard   } Note: Get PIT_DRV_ClearStatusFlags by drag & drop from the 'pit' component. 28) In 'Components' view, expand 'pit' component and then drag & drop PIT_DRV_Init, PIT_DRV_InitChannel & PID_DRV_StartChannel in main() after INT_SYS_InstallHandler(). 29) Fill in the second parameter of the last function(channel number): 0U 30) Build the code. Click the down arrow next to the 'Build' button and select Debug_RAM. Check that there are no build errors. 31) Enter the 'Debug Configurations' menu: a. From the menu bar, Run -> Debug Configurations... b. From the toolbar, down arrow next to Debug button -> Debug Configurations... 32) The Debug Configurations window appears. Select the configuration BlinkingLED_Z4_0_Debug_RAM from within the GDB PEMicro Interface Debugging group. 33) Select the 'Debugger' tab to setup the connection to the debugger hardware device. 34) Select the PEMicro Interface which corresponds to your setup: a. If using the motherboard, you will likely use the USB Multilink, which is connected to your PC via USB cable (type A on one end, type B on the other) and is connected to the motherboard via the 14-pin JTAG cable. b. If using the DEV-KIT board, you will likely choose the OpenSDA, which is integrated into the DEV-KIT board and is connected with just a USB cable (type A on one end, type micro on the other). 35) Click Debug To launch the debugging session. This will also open the Debug perspective. 36) In the Debug perspective, once the debugging session has fully launched, the code will be executed to the start of main(), where a breakpoint was automatically set for you. Press Resume button in the toolbar, Run -> Resume in the menu bar, or F8 on your keyboard to run the application. 37) You should now see the User LED2 on the board blink every 0.5 seconds. 38) To see the value of the output register bit for the output pin connected to the LED: a. Set a breakpoint on a line within pitCh0Handler() b. Go to the EmbSys Registers view, expand the SIUL2 module and scroll down to the GPDO register index which is accessed in the code. Double-click it to read the value. Expand it to see the individual bits. c. Press Resume a few times to see the register value change

Sometimes you would like to share sources between projects and - even better - between platforms. Let's say that we are developing software with the very same functionality for S32K144 and MPC5744P. In this case, we can identify platform independent functions - generic, platform specific functions - not related to MCU itself, but related to the way some peripheral works (for example different ADC result range) - and MCU dependent functions like clock init. In attachment is a very simple SDK which can be shared with S32K144 and MPC5744P (each in different S32DS editions).  Unzip my_sdk.zip archive (for example C:\NXP folder). You can import example projects, but instead let's start from the beginning. Create a new S32DS Application project and choose MCU: You can use default project configurations and click through to finish: Right click on project name -> Properties and select SDKs -> Add Complete the Name, Version and Description fields in New SDK dialog and click on Change button next to Location field. In Change SDK Location dialog, leave Define new variable setting selected, click Browse and find the my_sdk path: Now we can select files (sources, headers...) from selected SDK, you can select all available files. If you select a folder, then all files in that folder will be selected as well. Don't forget to select header files too: If you choose Copy - the files will be copied into project folder and you can do local changes. Without this option (default) - changes will be shared between all projects depended on this particular SDK. The ability to individually select the files to be included from the SDK as well as to copy into the project folder, provides much flexibility to customize SDK usage in your projects. Click on OK, then Attach/Detach... to attach this SDK into your project:  If you like to use your SDK for newly created projects (as an option in SDK select list) - click on Make global button: Now you can see changes in your project: As well, the SDK can be viewed in SDK Explorer (Window -> Show View -> Other...), where functions and macros are available for drag and drop functionality into your code: Platform specific code is filtered by preprocessor-defined macro. So - let's define if we are working with S32K144 or MPC5744P. Right click on project name -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> <Standard S32DS C Compiler OR name of your compiler> -> Preprocessor: We are done - now we can use SDK functions - S32K144:  and MPC5744P (enabling interrupts is default part of empty project for MPC5744P - that's only difference):
