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.

In this document, we show the steps to use the New Project Wizard to create a new application project for APEX2, ISP, or both.   1. Launch S32DS for Vision 2. Select 'S32DS Application Project' 3. Enter a name for the project 4. Select the 'A53 APEX2/ISP Linux' processor option 5. Click Next 6. Select the APEX2/ISP options you need.       a. APEX2 programming - will add support to your project for an APEX2 application, you need this for any new APEX2 project       b. APEX2 visual modeling - will create a separate project for your APEX2 program diagram, you need this to connect your APEX2 graph diagrams together. But you could also create it separately later. The APEX graph diagram must be created separately with another New Project Wizard.       c. ISP programming - will add support to your project for an ISP application, you need this for any new ISP project       d. ISP visual modeling - will create a separate project for your ISP data flow diagram, you will not need this if you plan to use an existing graph diagram. This can also be created later.       e. ISP static sequencer - by default, a dynamic sequencer is generated from your graph diagram, enable this to generate a static sequencer instead. This can be set/changed later in the Emit Configurations. 7. Click Finish 8. You now have a project or set of projects for development on the S32V234.

The S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform supports the S32G274A device with the S32 Debugger. This document provides the details on how to setup and begin a debugging session on the S32G274A evaluation board.   Preparation Setup the software tools Install S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform Use the Extensions and Updates menu within S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform to add the S32G2xx Development Package.   Setup the hardware Confirm the setup of the S32G274A evaluation board.  Configure the JTAG. The S32G274A evaluation board supports both 10- and 20- pin JTAG connections. The default board configuration is set to 20-pin, change the position of the jumper J59 from 2-3(default)  to 1-2, if you are using the 10 Pin JTAG interface. Both are supported by the S32 Debugger and S32 Debug Probe. Connect the power supply cable Setup the S32 Debug Probe Connect the S32 Debug Probe to the evaluation board via JTAG cable. Refer to the S32 Debug Probe User Manual for installation instructions. Use the JTAG connection as was confirmed in the previous step. Connect the S32 Debug Probe to the host PC via USB OR via Ethernet (via LAN or directly connected, and configured for static IP address) and power supply connected to USB port. Launch S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform Create new or open existing project and check that it successfully builds. If creating a new project, be sure the S32 Debugger is selected in the New Project Wizard.   Procedure Open the Debug Configurations menu, then follow the steps depending on whether an S32 Debugger configuration exists for your project. If the project was created using the New Project Wizard in S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform, and the S32 Debugger was selected as the debugger, then it likely has existing debug configuration(s).     S32 Debugger Configuration(s) Exist If existing S32 Debugger configuration, proceed with probe configuration. Otherwise, skip to the next section. Below is shown the debug configuration which appears for the provided SDK example project 'hello_world_s32g275a'. The suffixes 'debug', 'ram', and 's32debugger' refer to how the project was built and the debugger the configuration is for. Select the debug configuration which corresponds to the project, build type debug, and primary core (if a multicore project) Select the Debugger tab Select the Interface (Ethernet/USB) by which the S32 Debug Probe is connected. If connected via USB and this option is selected for interface, then the COM port will be detected automatically (in the rare event where 2 or more S32 Debug Probes are connected via USB to the host PC, then it may be necessary to select which COM port is correct for the probe which is connected to the EVB) If connected via Ethernet, enter the IP address of the probe. See the S32 Debug Probe User Manual for ways to determine the IP address.   S32 Debugger Configuration(s) Do Not Exist There might be no existing debug configuration if the project is being ported from another IDE or was created to use another debugger. Select the S32 Debugger heading and click New Launch configuration (or double click on the S32 Debugger heading, or right click on the S32 Debugger heading and select New from the context menu) A new debug configuration appears with the name set to the name of the active project in the Project Explorer window(this can be set by opening a file from the project or selecting an already opened file from the project in the editor), and the build type which was used to build it. If this is not matching your intended project then it can either be modified to match or deleted and recreated after the active project has been changed to the desired project. Adjust the name of the project as desired. From the Main tab, check that the Project field is set to the correct project name, as listed in the Project Explorer, and that the C/C++ Application is set to the ELF file which was built. If the Project field is not correct, click Browse... and then select the correct project name from the list. If more than one project is open in the workspace, then each will be listed. This shows how, regardless of which project is active in the C/C++ perspective, any available workspace project could be associated. This can be useful when reusing a debug configuration from one project in another. This is not common, but if the C/C++ Application is not correct, click Search Project... and then select the correct binary file (will only work if Project field is correct and project was successfully built). Switch to the Debugger tab, Click 'Select device and core' and then select the correct core from the list. In this case, the M7_0 core is correct. If this is not the primary core, then uncheck the box next to 'Initial core'. This is done only for multi-core projects for the non-boot cores. This causes the scripts to skip the initialization of the core as the boot core will launch the other cores so additional initialization will not be required. Select the Interface (Ethernet/USB) by which the S32 Debug Probe is connected. If connected via USB and this option is selected for interface, then the COM port will be detected automatically (in the rare event where 2 or more S32 Debug Probes are connected to the host PC, then it may be necessary to select which COM port is correct for the probe which is connected to the EVB) If connected via Ethernet, enter the IP address of the probe. See the S32 Debug Probe User Manual for ways to determine the IP address. Click Apply Click Debug. This will launch the S32 Debugger. When the debugger has been successfully started, the Debug perspective is opened and the application is executed until a breakpoint is reached on the first line in main().

This instruction details the steps to create an image vector table, then subsequently generate a blob image which can be written to external flash on the S32R45 EVB. For this, the 'hello_world_s32r45' example project from the S32R45 SDK installed to S32 Design Studio IDE. This instruction shows the process for QSPI, however, SD, MMC, and eMMC are also supported.   The Image Vector Table (IVT) image is a set of pointers to other images which are required by the BootROM. It typically contains the following images, though not all are required to create a valid IVT image: DCD Self-Test DCD HSE Application Bootloader   The IVT Tool enables configuration and generation of the IVT image as specified in the BootROM reference manual.   Prerequisites Before using the IVT Tool, it will be useful to have already generated the binary image from your application project, it will be an input to the IVT. It may also be necessary to include a DCD image, for example, to initialize the SRAM. For application bootloader image, follow the steps in HOWTO: Generate S-Record/Intel HEX/Binary file, selecting 'Raw binary' option. For DCD image, follow the steps in HOWTO: Use DCD Tool To Create A Device Configuration Data Image .     Procedure With desired project open in project explorer (C/C++ perspective), switch to IVT perspective. Click on 'Open IVT'. In the Boot Configuration section, check that the correct Boot Target is selected. For the demonstration here, M7_0 is the correct selection. Check the 'Interface selection' section. If your intended boot device is SD, MMC or eMMC, then change the setting from QuadSPI Serial Flash. If your intended boot device is QuadSPI AND you do not have a QuadSPI parameter file to specify, then uncheck the box for 'Configure QuadSPI parameters'. QuadSPI parameters change some flash registers' settings away from the default setting and are generally required for larger memory sizes (for ex. applications over 1 MB in size, for some supported devices). From the Image Table section, depending on your configuration, turn off all unused images. For the demonstration here, the following will be changed to Reserved: Self-Test DCD, Self-Test DCD (backup), DCD (backup), Application bootloader (backup). The following images will remain enabled: DCD, Application bootloader. In DCD section of the Image Table, click 'Browse File' and select the DCD binary file. Ignore the red shading on the Start address and Size in bytes fields for now. Now the red shading should be resolved. This is appearing because when the DCD section was enabled, it added a block to the Memory Layout map. But the other blocks in the map are unchanged resulting in overlaps. To resolve this, click on the ‘Align’ button from within the Automatic Align section.. After the Memory Map has been aligned, a confirmation message will be displayed and the red shading will disappear. In Application bootloader section, again use  'Browse File' and select the application binary. When the application boot image is loaded, the tool processes the file to check if it contains the header for the application bootloader image. If the header is not found, it means that the file is only the raw code (the bin generated by S32 Design Studio) and it will be necessary to provide the values for RAM start & entry addresses (code length is automatically calculated), as noted with the expanded view and red shading. To set the RAM start pointer and entry pointer addresses, from to the C/C++ perspective: From Project Explorer on the C/C++ perspective, open the linker file (hello_world_s32r45\Project_Settings\Linker_Files\S32R45_common_ram.ld) and locate the RAM start address and enter it in both the RAM start pointer AND RAM entry pointer fields in the IVT Tool. Since the application binary file which was loaded is just a raw binary file, it is necessary to generate the full application bootloader image. The Export Image function takes the values entered for the RAM start & entry pointers and Code length, then generates the Application bootloader header. This header is added to the raw binary file producing a new image, the full application bootloader image file. Within the Application bootloader section, click 'Export Image' and enter a meaningful name for the image file. In addition to being a necessary source component of the IVT image, this file can more easily be shared or re-used to as an input to other IVT images. After the file has been generated, you will notice that the address settings section has collapsed. This is because it has replaced the file you originally selected with the newly generated one and the tool has recognized that the file contains the required header information. Click 'Export Blob Image' to generate the blob image file. This is what will be flashed to the target. Now that the Blob Image is generated, the 'Flash Image' button could be used to program the image to the target over serial connection, use the S32 Flash Tool, or over the JTAG connection using the Flash Programmer within the S32 Debugger (QSPI only).

S32 Design Studio (S32DS) for Power architecture supports PLS UDE Eclipse plug-in to debug S32DS projects via a PLS probe directly in S32DS Eclipse IDE. This feature is supported by all versions of S32DS for Power.   This plug-in supports the features below: Seamless integration of complete functionality of Universal Debug Engine inside of the Eclipse IDE UDE provides an own perspective of the Eclipse IDE and integrates UDE workspace in Eclipse workspace Code breakpoint can be set either by C/C++ editors or by UDE specific functions For more details about the plugin read  "UDE Eclipse datasheet" located in the download section of PLS web site.   Installation instructions First of all make sure you have PLS UDE debugger installed on your computer. Then let's proceed to eclipse plug-in installation.   1. go to menu "Help" -> "Install New Software" and  click on "Add..." button and search PLS UDE installation folder for the archive file named "UDEEclipse4Integration.zip" 2. select the Universal Debug Engine component and click "Next"     3. Finally you proceed to the installation. You will be asked to confirm installation of unsigned content. The UDE plugin requires restart after the installation.     Create a new project with UDE  You should be able to create a new S32DS project via S32DS new project wizard where PLS UDE Debugger support is now available. The UDE plugin enables a new group of UDE eclipse debug configurations to manage (create, delete, adjust) The UDE debug configuration created with a new project requires some changes before you can proceed to debugging. 1. Enter a new UDE workspace name under "<Project>\.ude" folder by clicking on "New Workspace" button 2. Create a new UDE Target configuration file. click on "Create Configuration" button and select "Use a default target configuration" and your target MCU. (in this example MPC5744P). Save the configuration file into your project folder e.g. "<Project>\Project_Settings\Debugger\nxp_mpc5744p_cut2_debug_jtag.cfg" Running the debugger opens UDE specific debug eclipse view where you can benefit from many advanced debugging features including tracing, scripting... Enjoy debugging with PLS UDE Eclipse plug-in in S32DS!

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!
