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

This document describes a way how to execute a selected function(s) out of RAM memory for a project running out of  Flash memory. Create a custom linker section in the linker file (.ld) where a routine(s) should be placed into. This step is optional if you don't care where exactly in RAM the function should be placed. In such case default sections could be used instead. MEMORY {       flash_rchw : org = 0x00FA0000,   len = 0x4     cpu0_reset_vec : org = 0x00FA0000+0x10,   len = 0x4     cpu1_reset_vec : org = 0x00FA0000+0x14,   len = 0x4     cpu2_reset_vec : org = 0x00FA0000+0x04,   len = 0x4                  m_my_flash :     org = 0x01000000, len = 4K       // optional - this is dedicated section for the RAM function rom image     m_text :         org = 0x01001000, len = 5628K    // default section for code       m_my_ram :       org = 0x40000000, len = 4K       // optional - specific section where a RAM routine(s) should be copied into     m_data :         org = 0x40001000,  len = 764K    // default section for data/stack/heap }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ If it's intended to keep routine(s) that should be executed from RAM within a specific custom section: SECTIONS { ... .MyRamCode : {    MY_RAM_START = .;       // this symbol is optional    KEEP (*(.MyRamCode))    // KEEP - avoid dead stripping if an object is not referenced    MY_RAM_END = .;         // this symbol is optional } > m_my_ram AT>m_my_flash // the section above is linked into m_my_ram and Rom image is stored into m_my_flash‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Otherwise you can use the default memory areas for code/data if you don't care about the location of the routine(s): SECTIONS { ... .MyRamCode  : {     MY_RAM_START = .;     // this symbol are optional     KEEP (*(.MyRamCode))  // KEEP - avoid dead stripping if an object is not referenced     MY_RAM_END = .;       // this symbol are optional }  > m_data  AT>m_text    // the section is linked into default data memory area and its rom image is placed into the default code memory ‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ add the __attribute__ statements to the RAM function prototypes. The function attribute "longcall" is required to be able to call this RAM function from flash. __attribute__ ((section(".MyRamCode")))              // place the function below into .MyRamCode section int test_RAM(int arg1) __attribute__ ((longcall));   // declare the function as "far"‍‍‍‍ Default S32DS project startup initializes just the default data sections. Therefore it's necessary to perform section copy-down manually if the functions are placed into a custom section. This must be done before a RAM routine gets called e.g. at the beginning of main() or in the startup routine.       You can create some linker symbols (.MyRamCode RAM and ROM addresses and size) and import them to the module where copy-down is implemented. __MY_RAM_ADR = ADDR (.MyRamCode); __MY_RAM_SIZE = SIZEOF (.MyRamCode); __MY_RAM_ROM_ADR = LOADADDR (.MyRamCode);‍‍‍‍‍‍ The final source file may look like this: #include <string.h> extern unsigned long __MY_RAM_ADR; extern unsigned long __MY_RAM_ROM_ADR; extern unsigned long __MY_RAM_SIZE; __attribute__ ((section(".MyRamCode")))              // place the function below into .MyRamCode section int test_RAM(int arg1) __attribute__ ((longcall));   // declare the function as "far" ... void main(void) {    int counter = 0;    memcpy(&__MY_RAM_ADR , &__MY_RAM_ROM_ADR, &__MY_RAM_SIZE);  // copy the function from flash to RAM    counter = test_RAM(counter);                                // call the function ... }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Hope it helps!

This document details the steps to program external EEPROM with the 32 reset configuration bits in support of the 'Boot from serial RCON' method detailed in the S32R Reference Manual. The Python scripts used for this task are designed and tested to work on the S32R45 EVB and the Atmel AT24C01C it contains.   The RCON can be set by the following: Fuses (internal to the device) Parallel (GPIO pins/DIP Switches on S32R45 EVB) Serial (EEPROM connected via I2C) The Serial option can be programmed using a debug probe connected via JTAG. This enables the RCON to be controlled remotely, assuming the debug probe is setup to allow remote connections.  Preparation Install S32 Design Studio IDE  Install the Development Package for the device you are debugging. This is important as the S32 Debugger support within it contains the device-specific Python scripts required for initialization of the cores.  Connect the S32 Debug Probe to the S32R45 EVB and the host PC containing S32 Design Studio installation. Set BMODE pins to Boot from RCON Set BOOT_CFG[8]=1 on the S32R EVB, for serial RCON mode See the EVB documentation and device reference manual for more details on BOOT_CFG settings, etc.   Procedure  Open cmd window to the S32 Debugger folder where the device-specific scripts are located. C:\NXP\S32DS.3.4\S32DS\tools\S32Debugger\Debugger\scripts\s32r45 Set Python path so correct version is used (if not already set in env vars) set PYTHONPATH=C:\NXP\S32DS.3.4\S32DS\build_tools\msys32\mingw32\lib\python2.7;C:\NXP\S32DS.3.4\S32DS\build_tools\msys32\mingw32\lib\python2.7\site-packages Edit the python script to adjust the value to be programmed to RCON, s32r45_i2c_RCON.py. Note: The listed examples show only the minimum values required to configure each of the external memory types. Additional settings may be required for your specific application.       Adjust the RCON_DATA for the configuration you wish to program.  Do not adjust RCON_ADDR. Adjust the S32DBG_IP for the IP address of your S32 Debug Probe.  Adjust the INTERACTIVE_MODE Set True, if desired to be prompted in the command window to enter RCON_DATA Set False, if desired to have script automatically enter RCON_DATA, based on the value set within the file. Enter the command to start GDB, passing in the RCON Python script: Windows OS: C:\NXP\S32DS.3.4\S32DS\tools\gdb-arm\arm32-eabi\bin\arm-none-eabi-gdb-py.exe -x s32r45_i2c_RCON.py Linux OS: arm-none-eabi-gdb-py -x .\s32r45_i2c_RCON.py   You may need to press enter a couple of times. If everything worked properly, then the value you programmed will be displayed to the screen. To exit GDB, enter 'quit'. Before performing boot from serial RCON, remember to set BOOT_CFG[8] = 1. See the EVB documentation and device reference manual for more details.

So you have created a project in S32DS with target of S32V234 Cortex-A53 APEX2/ISP Linux . You have built the project and now want to execute it on the S32V234-EVB2, which is running the Linux BSP for the VSDK on a microSD card. There are many ways to do this, however, the simplest is to use the built-in support within S32DS to run and/or debug over an Ethernet connection to the Linux BSP OS running on the EVB. In order for S32DS to connect to the Linux BSP OS, the following steps should be followed: 1) First, we must complete the steps in HOWTO: Setup S32V234 EVB2 for debugging with S32DS and Linux BSP . 2) With the Linux running on the EVB, start a terminal program (for ex. PuTTY) on your PC 3) Set Connection type to Serial 4) Set speed to 115200, Data bits 8, Stop bits 1, Parity None 5) Set Serial line to the COM port associated with the USB port setup in step 1 of this document. (for ex. COM3) 6) Click Open to start the terminal session 7) Press enter key to bring up login prompt 😎 Log into Linux (login name is "root") 9) Get IP address, enter command:    ifconfig       Make note of the IP address 10) Launch S32DS for Vision. From the C/C++ Perspective, select Run->Debug Configurations... 11) From 'C/C++ Remote Application'. Select '<project_name>_Remote_Linux' debug configuration. 12) Select New to create new debug connection. 13) Select SSH 14) Enter the IP address noted earlier 15) Enter user ID as "root". The Linux BSP uses Password based authentication, but by default, no password is set.

Please see C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2.0\S32DS\s32v234_sdk\docs\drivers\SDI_Software_User_Guide.pdf for details on what this code is for. 18) In Project Explorer, right-click on "...\A53_gen\src\isp_process.cpp" and select Build path -> Remove from -> A53 19) Select 'ISP_ISP_Generic_demo:A53' in the Project Explorer panel, then Build for A53 20) Run it remotely on the target using the method fromHOWTO: Create A53 Linux Project in S32DS for Vision. Should get results similar to this:

This tutorial walks a user through the steps to create a new application for the S32V234 MCU using S32DS (with S32V2xx development package and Vision extension package for S32V2xx) and the built in ISP Visual Graph tool. The completed application will take an image from camera, processes it on ISP and put the processed image in DDR buffers. Once the image is in DDR buffer, host (A53 core running Linux) will direct the display control unit (DCU) to display it on screen. Prerequisites: Some knowledge of the S32V234 System on a Chip (SoC) Have an understanding of the ISP architecture Be familiar with the NXP Vision SDK software Looking for Interactive Tutorial? You can view this tutorial as a video, go to Getting started with S32 Design Studio IDE including Vision Extension Package for S32V processors | NXP and select '3 | Create a new ISP Application'

While the S32V234-EVB2 comes shipped with an SD card preloaded with a Linux Board Support Package(BSP), it does not support the Vision Software Development Kit(VSDK). This you will have to load yourself. There are two methods for installing the S32V234 BSP for VSDK to your SD card: 1) Download the image file from your Software Account on nxp.com and write the file to the SD card, or 2) Create the image on the SD card from ubuntu installed on a PC or virtual machine Download the image file and write it to SD card This is the simplest method, but does not allow for much customization. It is an excellent choice for those users who do not have much experience with Linux or just need something quick to get up and running with S32 Design Studio, try out the application examples, etc. Procedure 1) Login to your account on NXP.COM (if you do not already have an account, then just register for one) 2) Go to Vision SDK Software  3) Accept the license agreement 4) Select the version of VSDK you wish to use 5) Check the box next to 'VisionSDK RTM x.x.x pre-built SD Card image based on Yocto rootfs' and click 'Download selected files'. This will download the .gz file to your PC. 6) Unpack the VisionSDK_S32V2_RTM_x_x_x_img_yocto.tar.gz archive file 7) Unpack the VisionSDK_S32V2_RTM_x_x_x_img_yocto.tar archive file 😎 Navigate to the '\build_content\v234_linux_build\s32v234evb' folder, then unpack the sdcard-evb.tar.bz2 file 9) Unpack the sdcard-evb.tar file 10) The resulting file is sdcard-evb.img. You can use an image writing tool (such as Win32 Disk Imager download | SourceForge.net) to write this image file to the SD card. You will need to use the SD card adapter to insert the microSD card into the SD card slot on your PC, if available. If you do not have an SD card slot on your PC, there are many SD card-to-USB adapters available on the market. 11) The SD card is now ready to inserted into the SD card slot on the S32V234-EVB2 SD card slot. Create the image on SD card from ubuntu This is a better choice for more advanced users who wish to customize the BSP. To prepare an SD card for a Linux boot, it is necessary to connect the SD card to a machine with Linux OS. If a Linux OS machine is not available, then a virtual machine installed to a Windows OS machine may be used. If you have access to a Linux OS machine, skip to step 4. Procedure 1) Download and install a virtual machine VMware Workstation Player Virtual Box 2) Download Ubuntu. This tutorial uses the Ubuntu version 14.04.5.  The image will be ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso. 3) Launch VMware or Virtual Box and create a new virtual machine Use downloaded Ubuntu image when requested for installer disc image file Hit Next and select Linux as the guest operating system and select Ubuntu for the version. Hit Next and name your virtual machine and specify where you want to store it. Increase the disk size to 40 GB Hit Finish and install VMware Tools for Linux, if asked 4) Within C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2.0\S32DS\s32v234_sdk\os extract 'build_content.tar.gz', then extract 'build_content.tar' and navigate to the 'v234_linux_build' folder 5) Start virtual machine May need to manually connect USB-mounted SD card reader Log in to virtual machine 6) In files, go to 'Home' directory and create a folder "VSDK" 7) Within VSDK folder, copy the files image, u-boot.s32, s32v234-evb.dtb, and rootfs.tar from the 'v234_linux_build' folder.  Note: The file s32v234-evb.dtb and u-boot.s32 will have names with XXXXX-suffix for the schematic number printed on the evaluation board (EVB) you are using. Be sure to use the files which correspond to your EVB. 😎 Load the card into the reader. If you are using a virtual machine, it is recommended to use a USB adapter instead of a built-in reader in the PC. 9) Within the virtual machine, launch the terminal program 10) Within the terminal program, enter command 'cat /proc/partitions' to view the names of the partitions and identify the names of the partitions on your SD card. Perhaps it is named 'sdb'. 11) Delete all existing partitions.    a) Enter command 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb'.    b) Enter command 'd' and then the number of the partition to delete. Repeat as necessary until all partitions have been deleted 12) Create new partitions    a) Enter command 'n' for new    b) Enter 'p' (or just hit <enter>, as this is the default) for primary    c) Enter '1' (or just hit <enter>, as this is the default) for partition number 1.    d) Press <enter> to select the default value for the First sector    e) Enter '+255M' to set the size    f) Enter command 'n' again, for partition number 2, however, press <enter> to select the default value for the 'Last sector' 13) Set the partition type    a) Enter command 't' for type    b) Enter '1' for partition number 1    c) Enter 'c' for partition type FAT32    d) Enter command 't' again, for partition number 2, however, enter '83' for partition type LINUX If you get error 16: Device or resource busy, as shown above, use commands 'umount /dev/sdb1' and 'umount /dev/sdb2' to free the pre-existing partitions. Then try again and should be ok now 14) Write the new configuration, enter 'w' 15) Try to setup the filesystems. Enter 'sudo mkfs.vfat -n boot /dev/sdb1'. If you get the error '/dev/sdb1 contains a mounted filesystem', you will need to unmount the partition first. To save time, unmount both /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2. Enter 'umount /dev/sdb1' and then 'umount /dev/sdb2' Now try 'sudo mkfs.vfat -n boot /dev/sdb1' again 16) It worked, so now enter 'sudo mkfs.ext3 -L rootfs /dev/sdb2'. It will take a minute or two for this to complete. Wait until you get the command prompt again. 17) Now it's time to load the BSP content from the VSDK. But first, change the directory to the one we created earlier for the BSP files. Enter 'cd /home/user/VSDK' or 'cd VSDK'. Enter the following commands: sudo dd if=u-boot.s32 of=/dev/sdb bs=512 seek=8 conv=fsync sudo cp Image /media/user/boot sudo cp s32v234-evb.dtb /media/user/boot 18) Now we need to extract the root filesystem, change the directory to its location 19) Enter command 'sudo tar -xvf /home/user/VSDK/rootfs.tar' 20) Once the files are extracted, enter command 'sync'   Now the SD card is ready to be used in the S32V234-EVB.

This document details how to create a new project and build using the existing code and makefile provided within the NXP Vision SDK example projects. If you are creating a new makefile project with code from any other source, the procedure may be different. Before creating a new makefile project from existing code we need to add some paths to the environment variable PATH and a couple of new environment variables. There are 3 main methods for adding these paths and variables. Which method depends upon your needs. Method 1 The paths and variables can be added to each project individually. This is useful if you only want these changes to affect a small number of projects. Or if your projects require different paths and variables. Method 2 The paths and variables can be added to the entire workspace within S32DS . These will not be visible outside of S32DS and therefore will not affect the entire Windows environment. This is useful if you have a large number of projects with common requirements for paths and variables and do not want them visible any tools outside of S32DS. Method 3 The paths and variables can be added globally to the Windows environment and will affect all installed tools. This method is not recommended. Add the following paths to the PATH variable (assuming the default installation settings for S32DS for Vision were used): C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\Cross_Tools\gcc-6.3-arm64-eabi\bin C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\Cross_Tools\gcc-6.3-arm64-linux\bin C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\Cross_Tools\gcc-6.3-arm32-eabi\bin C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\utils\msys32\mingw32\bin It is also necessary to add the following Windows system variables: Variable Name: S32V234_SDK_ROOT Variable Value: C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\S32DS\s32v234_sdk Variable Name: APU_TOOLS Variable Value: C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\S32DS\APUC Now we are ready to create the new project. 1) Launch S32DS for Vision 2) Click New 3) Select 'Makefile Project with Existing Code' 4) Select Next 5) For 'Existing Code Location', select 'Browse...' and then select the directory  C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\S32DS\s32v234_sdk\demos\isp\isp_sonyimx224_rgb_yuv_gs8 6) Click OK 7) For 'Toolchain for Indexer Settings', select the option which matches your desired build configuration. Select:    Linux builds: 'Standard S32DS Linux toolchain for ARM Cortex-A'    Standalone builds: 'Standard S32DS toolchain for ARM Cortex-A' This sets up some toolchain paths, but later we will set more for the specific needs of the VSDK examples. 😎 Click Finish 9) Change to C/C++ perspective, click on 'Switch to C/C++ Development' 10) Right-click on the project from the Project Explorer. Select Properties 11) Go to section 'C/C++ Build' and make sure that Generate Makefiles automatically is unchecked:  12) Go to the 'Behavior' tab and in the field next to 'Build', enter:    ISP examples: 'allsub'    APEX examples: 'APU_COMP=nxp allsub' 13) In the field next to 'Clean', enter 'clean' 14) Go to 'Builder Settings' tab, in 'Build location' section change the path for the 'Build directory'. Click on 'Workspace...' button 15) In the Folder selection menu, select the subfolder 'build-v234ce-gnu-linux-d' and click OK 16) Go to section 'Environment' 17) Select the environment variable 'PATH' and click 'Edit...' 18) Add the paths to the value field, each separated by a comma ';' C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\Cross_Tools\gcc-6.3-arm64-eabi\bin C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\Cross_Tools\gcc-6.3-arm64-linux\bin C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\Cross_Tools\gcc-6.3-arm32-eabi\bin C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\utils\msys32\mingw32\bin Click OK 19) Click 'Add...' 20) Enter the variable name 'S32V234_SDK_ROOT' and value 'C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\S32DS\s32v234_sdk' Click OK 21) Click 'Add...' again and this time enter variable name 'APU_TOOLS' and value 'C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2018.R1\S32DS\APUC' Click OK 22) Click OK to close the Properties menu. 23) Click on 'Build' 24) Once the build is complete, the binary file (ELF) will be created If you like to create release version - add another build configuration and select release build folder. Right click on project name->Properties:  Switch configuration to Release and select build folder:  Exclude release build when Default (you can rename it to Debug) configuration is selected and vice versa.  Right click on Release build folder (that one which ends with -o). Choose Resource configuration and select exclude from build:  Right click on Debug build folder (that one which ends with -d) -> Resource Configuration -> Exclude from build and select Release:  Select Build target to Release and build it: 

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!
