There are 2 errors which produce the FNP error 0 message for which we have identified solutions:   1) That activation request yields no right to a license If you receive the following error message following an attempt to activate S32 Design Studio, this is a known issue and we have a solution.     This issue is due to a recent event. On October 1st, 2019, Flexera made this change. Since NXP uses Flexera for product activations, we were affected.   The solution to the issue is to enable support for TLS 1.2 within your Internet Properties.   2) com.acresso.activation.handler.ServerException If you receive the following error message following an attempt to activate S32 Design Studio, this is a known issue and we have a solution. This issue is known to occur on older releases of S32 Design Studio.     The version of FlexNet Publisher (FNP) used to activate the S32 Design Studio on your PC has an issue on some users machines. While we don't fully understand what change is happening to cause this issue, we have determined that an update to the version of FNP will resolve it. We have incorporated a newer version in the 3.5 release of S32 Design Studio.   Attached is a package of files (Activation.7z) which will allow you to update the version of FNP on your machine.   Enter the following command replacing the paths as noted. It should be possible to execute from CMD window located at any path. Make sure to use the ‘/’ instead of ‘\’ and if you have any paths with spaces, then enclose the full path with “.   For 64-bit OS: C:/NXP/S32DS.3.5/jre/bin/java  -Djava.library.path="{path to where you extracted the activation.zip}/Activation/cll/x64"  -jar "{path to where you extracted the activation.zip}/Activation/license.jar" activateUI   For 32-bit OS: C:/NXP/S32DS.3.5/jre/bin/java -Djava.library.path="{path to where you extracted the activation.zip}/Activation/cll/i86" -jar "{path to where you extracted the activation.zip}/Activation/license.jar" activateUI   If you have no existing S32DS installation from which to use Java, then please use the attached package (CLL_FNP.11.18.0.2.zip) and follow the instructions in the included .txt file.

The following article describes how to add FreeRTOS thread aware debugging to the Eclipse Debug view using SEGGER J-Link: Show FreeRTOS Threads in Eclipse Debug View with SEGGER J-Link and NXP S32 Design Studio | MCU on Eclipse  I hope this is useful, Erich

S32V234 EVB has 32GB of eMMC memory. This memory can be used as OS drive.In text bellow is RED color used for important notes,  GREEN for console commands and BLUE for filenames. Courier font family is used for code/configuration data.  Requirements  Prepared SD Card with linux image (HOWTO: Prepare A SD Card For Linux Boot Of S32V234-EVB Using BSP From VSDK ) and with u-boot.s32 file in boot partition. Host PC machine with Linux OS, NFS, TFTP server and network connectivity with EVB NFS shared folder with BSP Linux root file system (the root.tar file located in [S32DS_Vision]\s32v234_sdk\os\build_content.tar\build_content\v234_linux_build\ ) tftp server with Image, s32v234-evb.dtb and u-boot.s32 files putty or other terminal connected to s32v234 EVB (tested with minicom on Linux) Procedure  Setup NFS share and TFTP server. Please look at internet for more details about NFS and TFTP https://www.digitalocean.com/community/tutorials/how-to-set-up-an-nfs-mount-on-ubuntu-16-04  How do I install and run a TFTP server? - Ask Ubuntu  Don't forget add into root file system files Image, s32v234-evb.dtb and rootfs.tar - we will need them later f or boot and rootfs partitions. Also make sure that all rootfs files are owned by root.  Here is my entry for /etc/exports file for NFS: /rfs    192.168.1.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,sync) and here /etc/xinetd.d/tftp file: service tftp {    protocol = udp    port = 69    socket_type = dgram    wait = yes    user = nobody    server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd    server_args = /tftpboot    disable = no } It looks like that in ubuntu is some bug and I have to move tftp files location from /tftpboot to /svr/tftp  The tftp file in /etc/xined.d/ remain unchanged. This issue is probably related only to ubuntu.  Make sure that both servers (nfs,tftp) are accessible from other machine (you can use S32V234 EVB started from SD card for that).  I used static IP addresses on PC Host side and EVB. In my case PC has address 192.168.1.1 and EVB 192.168.1.10. You can also use DHCP server - but this is not part of this document. Boot from SD card and stop booting by pressing any key when you see first numbers on terminal window. You can get list of commands by help command. First - we need to write u-boot.s32 file to eMMC. Unfortunately - there can be active only one storage - SD Card or eMMC. We need to copy u-boot.s32 from SD Card to RAM (use RAM address 0xC0000000), deactivate SD Card and connect eMMC. In u-boot console use fatload mmc 0:1 0xC0000000 u-boot.s32 command. Write down the size of loaded file - you will need it later for counting number of sectors. In my case - the file size is 282624 (0x45000).    Once is u-boot.s32 in the RAM, we can disconnect SD card and connect eMMC by switching J37 jumper from 1-2 to 2-3 (there may be different name for other board vesions - but the location is same). After switching from SD to eMMC you need to rescan mmc device by command: mmc rescan You can verify if eMMC is  mapped correctly by  mmcinfo Now we copy u-boot from RAM to emmc. eMMC is located on address 0x1000 - but it is addressed by 512 (0x200) bytes sector size. In this case mmc device address starts on 0x1000/0x200 = 0x08. Number of sectors is (u-boot.s32 filesize) / (sector size) - 0x45000/0x200=0x228. Write u-boot from RAM to eMMC by: mmc write 0xC0000000 0x08 0x228   Now we can switch boot source from SD to eMMC by switches located on rear side of EVB. The switch name may vary across board version but location is again the same. Turn OFF EVB and remove SD card. For booting from eMMC switch SW503 - BOOT CFG (0:7) 7'th switch from OFF to ON. Switches position for eMMC boot: Turn ON EVB and stop again boot in u-boot console. Now we need to configure u-boot for booting from NFS. You can check u-boot variables by  printenv  command. Make sure that nfsbootargs has correct EVB ip address, NFS server IP address and path to root file system. In my case - EVB IP is 192.168.1.10, NFS server is 192.168.1.1 and root file system on host PC machine is located in /rfs directory. You can also test network connectivity to PC Host machie by ping command.  You can change any of system variables by setenv command. For example - IP address can be changed by: setenv ipaddr -f ipaddr 192.168.1.10 Here is printenv output on my EVB:  We are done with configuration - let's boot from NFS by:  run nfsboot It takes a while. At the end you can see login prompt: Login as root user. Now we need create boot and root file system partition on eMMC by fdisk.  Boot partition fdisk /dev/mmcblk0 check if there are already some partitions by  p command in fdisk. If there are partitions - delete all of them by  d command. If done - let's create new boot partion with 255 MB size: n p 1 [ENTER] key for default selection +255M Root FS partition in fdisk continue with: n p [ENTER] key for default selection [ENTER] key for default selection [ENTER] key for default selection Change boot partition type from Linux to FAT32.  t 1 c Write all changes by w   Create filesystem for boot (vfat) and root fs (ext3) partition: mkfs.vfat -n boot /dev/mmcblk0p1 mkfs.ext3 -L rootfs /dev/mmcblk0p2 Now is time for copy some files in new partitions. I created in root home directory boot and rootfs folders:  cd mkdir boot mkdir rootfs mount /dev/mmcblk0p1 ./boot mount /dev/mmcblk0p2 ./rootfs Copy Image and s32v234-evb.dtb files from root to already mounted mmcblk0p1 partition: cp /Image ./boot cp /s32v234-evb.dtb /boot   And now - the final step - untar root file system to mmcblk0p2: tar -xf /rootfs.tar -C ./rootfs We are done. Disconnect Ethernet cable, reboot and wait for login prompt:   Troubleshooting   Can't start u-boot console: You have only about two seconds from power up to interrupt regular boot by pressing key to jump in u-boot console. So - keep trying. Best time for pressing any key is when numbers 2  1 are shown up.  Can't perform NFS boot: check network connectivity between EVB and host PC. Try ping host PC from u-boot console. If it doesn't work - check EVB ipaddress by echo $ipaddr or printenv u-boot command. check that nfsbootargs contain corect path/ip address to NFS root file system. Check again if your NFS directory is accessible from other machine and it is really s32v234 BSP Linux rootfs. Root fs must not be inside some subfolder.  check if you can get files from tftp server from other machine. for example tftp 192.168.1.1  ... get Image Can't perform partitioning of eMMC: Make sure that /dev/mmcblk0 is unmounted (in case that there was already some partitions).  Can't mount partitions on /dev/mmcblk0: Make sure that all files on NFS root file system belongs to root. You can also check boot messages for mount errors related to /proc file system.

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 application demonstrate integration Processor Expert (PE) RAppID Suite for  MPC5777M initialization tool with S32 Design Studio for Power v1.1. There is a separate RAppID project and RAppID Workspace folder included in this project:       This multicore project first initializes the device (PinMux, Clocks, PIT timer). Each core toggles with one LED with different time period. Z4_0 core: LED1...GPDO[0] Z7_0 core: LED2...GPDO[1] Z7_1 core: LED3...GPDO[2]     Yo can adjust the device initialization in PE RappID (open included workspace), generate the code and finally rebuild the project in S32DS.   Note:  Do not let generate PE_Types.h file since it includes some non-vle instructions mixed with VLE ones - this cannot be built by S32DS compiler. linker command file generation needs to be disabled otherwise it generates HighTec specific keywords that S32DS GCC linker does not understand.    Test HW:       MPC5777M-512DS, MPC57xx Motherboard MCU:             PPC5777MQMVA8 0N78H Debugger:    PeMicro USB-ML-PPCNEXUS Target:           Debug (internal flash) EVB connection:  USER LED1 connected to P8.0, LED2 connected to P8.1 LED3 connected to P8.2
