1) Prepare the evaluation board hardware You can use the S32 Debug Probe to download code to target Connect S32 Debug Probe to S32V234 EVB2 using JTAG connector Connect S32 Debug Probe to PC via USB cable OR ethernet (if connected via ethernet, then USB power cable must also be connected) Connect the S32V234 EVB2 to PC via ethernet (typically via LAN) Connect power cable to evaluation board and switch on the power     2) Build the project using the A53 build option. 3) The project is now built, and the ELF file is ready to be loaded to the EVB for execution. Before a debug session can be started, we must complete HOWTO: Setup A Remote Linux Connection in S32DS (S32V234). Start A53 Debug 4) Select the debug drop-down menu and click Debug Configurations     5) Make sure the '{project_name}_Remote_Linux' debug configuration is selected and the Connection (see step 3) is selected (points to the IP address of your EVB). Click Debug     6) The first time you connect to a new IP address (i.e. the first time you debug after creating a new workspace), you will receive a warning message, Click Yes and proceed.     The executable file is copied to Linux file system and gdbserver starts.   You may get an error message on the first try, this is normal. Just try it again and it will work. 7) Once the Linux GDB has started on A53 core and the initial break point is reached in main(), it is almost ready for to start debug on ISP. Click Resume as the A53 must be running before we can attach the ISP debug thread. 😎 Return to the Debug Configurations menu and locate the ISP debug configuration. You will see a debug configuration within the 'S32 Debugger' group (in our example, isp_sonyimx224_csi_dcu_mipi_simple_IPUS0 as shown below). This is the debug configuration we will use, however, it will require some setup.     9) You should notice the error message at the top of the window, just below the title and a red 'X' on the Debugger tab. Click on the Debugger tab to select it. We must setup the Debug Probe Connection before we can proceed. There are two options: Ethernet USB   If connecting the Probe via Ethernet, please refer to the Quick Start Guide or S32 Debug Probe User Guide provided with the S32 Debug Probe for instructions on how to connect it and determine the Hostname or IP address.     If connecting the Probe via USB, then the COM port will appear in the Port selection setting. If you have more than one S32 Debug Probe connected, you will need to determine which COM port is the correct one, otherwise, only the COM port for your S32 Debug Probe will appear.   10) This is already done for our example, but for your application, it may be necessary to setup the symbols for the ISP engine. Go to the Startup tab and:    a) Check the box for 'Load symbols'    b) Select the option for 'Use file', click Workspace... and locate the object file (.opius) for the ISP engine you wish to debug.   11) Click Apply then Debug. It may take a few moments for the ISP core debug to launch.   12) Wait for the ISP debug launch to complete. You may notice the A53 thread has terminated. This is normal and expected since the camera input cannot be suspended. When the launch completes, the context of the Debug window will switch to the ISP debug thread. 13) Enable Instruction Stepping mode and then step one time to load the object file which was setup in step 6. 14) The ISP debugging is now running and you can step through the ISP engine, look at registers, set a break point, etc. Note: only one hardware break point is supported for ISP.

1) Prepare the evaluation board hardware You can use the S32 Debug Probe to download code to target Connect S32 Debug Probe to S32V234 EVB using JTAG connector Connect S32 Debug Probe to PC via USB cable OR ethernet (if connected via ethernet, then USB power cable must also be connected) Connect the S32V234 EVB to PC via ethernet (typically via LAN) Connect power cable to evaluation board and switch on the power     2) Build the project using either the A53 or the TEST_A53 build options. 3) The project is now built and the ELF file is ready to be loaded to the EVB for execution. Before a debug session can be started, we must complete HOWTO: Setup A Remote Linux Connection in S32DS (S32V234). Start A53 Debug 4) Select the debug drop-down menu and click Debug Configurations     5) Make sure the Debug_Remote_Linux debug configuration is selected and the connection setup in step 4 is selected (points to the IP address of your EVB). Click Debug     6) The first time you connect to a new IP address (i.e. the first time you debug after creating a new workspace), you will receive a warning message, Click Yes and proceed.     The executable file is copied to Linux file system and gdbserver starts. You may get an error message on the first try, this is normal. Just try it again and it will work. 7) Once the Linux GDB has started on A53 core and the initial breakpoint is reached in main(), we need to set a breakpoint at the function apu_hal_Enable().    This breakpoint has already been created for you, you just need to enable it! Locate the breakpoint in the Breakpoints view. Due to some known issues with Eclipse CDT, it is necessary to enable->disable->enable the breakpoint so it will work properly. The issue only affects this breakpoint, due to the way it is provided, and will not affect breakpoints which you set elsewhere in the code. 😎 Press Resume twice, so that the breakpoint which was set at apu_hal_enable() is reached for the 2nd time. 9) Open Debug Configurations. You will see a debug configuration within the 'S32 Debugger' group (FAST9COLOR as shown below). This is the debug configuration we will use, however, it will require some setup.     10) You should notice the error message at the top of the window, just below the title and a red 'X' on the Debugger tab. Click on the Debugger tab to select it. We must setup the Debug Probe Connection before we can proceed. There are two options: Ethernet USB   If connecting the Probe via Ethernet, please refer to the Quick Start Guide or S32 Debug Probe User Guide provided with the S32 Debug Probe for instructions on how to connect it and determine the Hostname or IP address.     If connecting the Probe via USB, then the COM port will appear in the Port selection setting. If you have more than one S32 Debug Probe connected, you will need to determine which COM port is the correct one, otherwise, only the COM port for your S32 Debug Probe will appear.       11) Click Apply then Debug. It may take a few moments for the APEX core debug to launch.   12) It may take a moment or two before the APEX2 debug thread launch is complete, see the Thread listed within the <kernel_name>[S32 Debugger] in the Debug window. Also note, a new breakpoint is listed in the Breakpoints view. This breakpoint is set for you at the start of the APEX2 graph function. 13) The debugger context is still on the A53 thread. Press RESUME and then select the APEX2 thread to see that it has stopped on the graph function break point. Now you can step through the graph. 14) To step through a kernel, locate the call to the kernel function in the graph function and set a break point on the line. 15) Press RESUME to advance the program counter to the new break point 16) Press STEP INTO to advance the program counter into the kernel. It may take several steps as the optimizations performed by the compiler produce some synchronization inconsistencies. 17) You may need to help the IDE to locate the source files. Now you can see the kernel wrapper function... and the kernel! 18) Step through, monitor variables and registers and set breakpoints.

This document describes how to generate an executable file that includes data flash content and how to program it into DFLASH using PEMicro GDB debugger. The default project generated by the project wizard builds an executable with code flash sections only.  Note: It is demonstrated on MPC5744P project but with some small adjustments it's applicable to any other MPC56xx/57xx derivative supported by S32 Design Studio for Power. Let's first explain how to build an executable that contains DFLASH section:  Check the memory map of the target device in the reference manual to figure out where DFLASH is mapped into. Add DFLASH memory segment/section into the linker file  (MPC57xx_flash.ld).   MEMORY {     flash_rchw : org = 0x00FA0000,   len = 0x4     cpu0_reset_vec : org = 0x00FA0004,   len = 0x4             m_text :        org = 0x1000000, len = 2048K        m_data :        org = 0x40000000,   len = 384K        int_dram  : org = 0x50800000,   len = 64K                m_dflash :  org = 0x800000, len = 96K    /* data flash memory segment */ }  SECTIONS {   …   .dflash : { KEEP (*(.dflash)) } > m_dflash  /* place .dflash section into dflsah memory*/   … }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Select the data you want to place into the DFLASH section in the source code and associate it with the memory section you created in previous step (".dflash"). __attribute__((section(".dflash"))) const unsigned int dflash_int = 0xFEEDCAFE; __attribute__((section(".dflash"))) const char dflash_char[]= "Hello World form DFLASH!";‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Build the project and check the generated .map file.  The custom".dflash" section should contain the selected data objects. .dflash         0x00800000       0x1d  *(.dflash)  .dflash        0x00800000       0x1d ./src/main.o                 0x00800000                dflash_int                 0x00800004                dflash_char‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Let's now adjust the project debug configuration to be able to program DFLASH.  First  make sure you installed the latest version of PEMicro Eclipse Plugin. See the post below - it's about ARM version of S32DS but the update process for S32DS for Power is exactly the same. You just need is to select e200 component instead of ARM: error while dubbing: "ERROR loading to the device"  If you need to control DFLASH programming separately from code flash you would need a separate debug configuration for DFLASH. You can use "Duplicate" feature on an existing Debug configuration. This creates a new configuration with pre-populated fields so you don't have to enter them all manually. Change the debug configuration name and press "Apply" Switch to the Debugger tab -> Advanced Options and tick "Use Alternative Algorithm" option. Open Browse dialog and go to the folder below where all flash programming algorithms are located (*.pcp) and  select the appropriate DFLASH programming algorithm e.g. for this example: freescale_mpc5744p_1x32x20k_dflash_cut2.pcp          "<S32_Power_v1.x>\eclipse\plugins\com.pemicro.debug.gdbjtag.ppc_1.5.6.201703011834\win32\gdi\P&E"   Note: Folder name "com.pemicro.debug.gdbjtag.ppc_1.5.6.201703011834" may differ depending on the latest version of Pemicro GDB plugin version installed on your machine. It's recommended to enter the latest version folder if there are multiple plugin versions available.   If you want to program DFLASH and code flash at once you can just adjust the existing debug configuration. In this case you should select combined cflash+dflash flash algorithm such as e.g. freescale_mpc5744p_cflash_dflash_cut2.pcp  Click on debug button and as soon as the debug session is established check the DFLASH memory space in the Memory View

Requirements: PC machine with telnet client (for Windows you can use Putty - Download PuTTY - a free SSH and telnet client for Windows ) DHCP server running on your PC machine or network connection with DHCP server How to install DHCP server on Linux https://www.ostechnix.com/install-dhcp-server-in-ubuntu-16-04/  DHCP server for Windows - Open DHCP Server download | SourceForge.net      S32 debug probe connected to network (with DHCP server) and visible for your PC machine   separate network using static IP addresses (or direct connection between PC and S32 debug probe). The scenario is similar like on this picture:  Procedure:   Connect power to S32 debug probe with already connected ethernet cable and wait until green LED (RX/TX) starts blink.Connect to S32 debug probe by telnet client. You can use default domain name FSLXXYYZZ where XXYYZZ are last 6 digits from S32 debug probe MAC address or assigned IP address: Static IP address can be set by netparam static_ip_address ADDRESS:NETMASK command. Make sure that you are choosing IP address from range of your Embedded network. My network uses standard 192.168.1.xxx here is mt setings:  netparam static_ip_address 192.168.1.100:255.255.255.0 You also need to set boot config from DHCP to Static: netparam bootconfig static Turn OFF and ON again S32 debug probe and check the settings by telnet with static IP address - in my case 192.168.1.100: We are done.
