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. So the password can be left blank. 16) Select Finish 17) Select Apply, and then if you wish, Debug This connection is stored within the workspace. It can be added to any projects within the workspace. If a new workspace is created, then this connection will not appear in the selection list.

The S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform supports the S32R45 device with the S32 Debugger. This document provides the details on how to setup and begin a debugging session on the S32R45 evaluation board.   Preparation Setup the software tools Install S32 Design Studio IDE   Use the Extensions and Updates menu within S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform to add the S32R4xx Development Package.   Setup the hardware Confirm the setup of the S32R45 evaluation board.  Configure the JTAG. The S32R45 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_s32r45'. 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. The name of the project can be customized, but '_' must be used instead of spaces. If the Project field is not set or incorrect, 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. If the C/C++ Application is not set or incorrect, 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().

The Vision SDK root is contributed to the Design Studio as a dynamic path variable “S32DS_VSDK_DIR”. Several Design Studio services use this variable to access the resources inside the Vision SDK. By default, this variable points to “${eclipse_home}../S32DS/s32v234_sdk”, i.e. to the Vision SDK shipment bundled with Design Studio. Technically you can change this variable to point to another instance of Vision SDK using the following steps: 1. Go to the main menu "Window -> Preferences" 2. Filter the preference dialog with "sub" keyword or just navigate to "Run/Debug -> String Substitution node. 3. Edit Variable "S32DS_VSDK_DIR" to assign another value to be substituted as Vision SDK root 4. Press OK when changes are complete.

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. Some of the fields may become red shaded after the file is loaded. This is OK as it is showing the memory layout is no longer aligned. This will be resolved in a later step.  Scroll down to the 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 (in this case: hello_world\Project_Settings\Linker_Files\<device_name>_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. Use copy and paste to add the values to the Application Boot Image settings. Since the application binary file which was loaded for this example 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 the automatically calculated 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. Before the Blob image can be generated, all of the images must be properly aligned within the memory map. You will likely also see error messages regarding segment overlaps, but even without this error it is good to check that the alignment is correct. In the Automatic Align section, if you have a dedicated area of the memory you can specify the start address and then click 'Align'. If you don't have a dedicated area, then use the default automatic align start address of 0x0 (QSPI), or 0x1000 (SD, MMC, eMMC). Click 'Align' to automatically align the images to this address. Upon successful completion of the alignment, all of the red shading will be removed. 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, or use the S32 Flash Tool.
