This document shows, how to set optimization level for whole project and how to edit single files with different optimization level. As soon as the project is created, it has set optimization level to 0 by default. This means, compiler do neither size optimization nor speed optimization. Optimization level can be set for every project according to the project requirements. 1) Optimization level set Right click the project and select project properties. Click C/C++ Build ->Settings->Standard S32DS C Compiler ->Optimization. You can see, optimization level is none -O0. Click the arrow on the right side of the list and choose the required optimization level. There are five options you can choose. Details description of the options are included in S32DS reference manual. Chosen optimization is used for all files in the project. 2) Change optimization level for single file in the project If you want to change optimization level for single file and do no affect another files, select required file, right click on it and select properties. As you can see, there are limited possibilities to set the file itself. Select required optimization level, click apply and close the window. Now, selected file has different options than the rest of the project. Hope it helps. Martin

Example introduction: After startup - uninitialized RAM is set to 0 by startup code (startup_S32K144.S). If you need access to data stored in the RAM after reset is performed, you can  add these variables into .noinit section. You need to update your linker file and add .noinit section aligned to 1024 bytes before _RAM_START is defined:  In code assign your variable into .noinit section:  Example usage:  Import attached example into S32DS for ARM, build in and start debug session. Resume target and suspend program execution:  In semihosting debug console you can see that noinit_data are set to 0. The board is in state after power ON: Reset board and let's check if data remains in RAM memory:  After resume, you can see in semihosting console (or expressions view), that data remains unchanged:

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. 

This document describes a way, how to place custom constant data into specific flash memory area. Create a custom linker section in the linker file (.ld), where custom data should be placed into. Use the KEEP keyword in case you would like to avoid dead stripping if and object is not referenced. add the __attribute__ section statements to the custom data definition. Map file should looks like this way Hope it helps. Martin

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.

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 the A53 build option. 3) Start debug on A53 core. Project is now built, ELF file is read to be loaded to EVB for execution. 4) Before a debug session can be started, we must complete HOWTO: Setup A Remote Linux Connection in S32DS for Vision. 5) Select the debug drop-down menu and click Debug Configurations     6) 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     7) The first time you connect to a new IP address (i.e. the first time you debug after booting the board), 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. 😎 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. 9) Locate the ISP debug configuration from the Debug Configurations menu. You will see a debug configuration within the 'S32 Debugger' group (in our example, isp_sonyimx224_csi_dcu_ISP 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) 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.   12) Click Apply then Debug. It may take a few moments for the APEX core debug to launch.   13) 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. 14) Enable Instruction Stepping mode and then step one time to load the object file which was setup in step 6. 15) 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 the TEST_A53 build option. 3) Start debug on A53 core. Project is now built, ELF file is read to be loaded to EVB for execution. 4) Before a debug session can be started, we must complete HOWTO: Setup A Remote Linux Connection in S32DS for Vision. 5) Select the debug drop-down menu and click Debug Configurations     6) 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     7) The first time you connect to a new IP address (i.e. the first time you debug after booting the board), 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. 😎 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. 9) Press Resume twice, so that the breakpoint which was set at apu_hal_enable() is reached for the 2nd time. 10) 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.     11) 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.       12) Click Apply then Debug. It may take a few moments for the APEX core debug to launch.   13) 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. 14) 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. 15) To step through a kernel, locate the call to the kernel function in the graph function and set a break point on the line. 16) Press RESUME to advance the program counter to the new break point 17) 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. 18) You may need to help the IDE to locate the source files. Now you can see the kernel wrapper function... and the kernel! 19) Step through, monitor variables and registers and set breakpoints.

Suppose you created an application project for one MCU (S32K144, for example), but your requirements changed, or perhaps you are reusing a previous project to start a new project on a different MCU (derivative from same family). If you are working with the S32 SDK, there is a way to do it. We have detailed the steps in this document. 1) Open the project to be modified and select the C/C++ perspective, ensure that the Processor Expert views are shown 2) From the Components Library, Processors tab, select the new MCU derivative 3) Either double-click OR right-click and select 'Add to project', to add the new processor to your components list for your project. Be sure to select just one of the pin packages, whichever is appropriate for you application. 4) From the Component Inspector*, you will see a message in red text asking if you would like to switch into the configuration for the new processor. Click on the button 'Switch Configuration'. *may have to select pin_mux:PinSettings in the Components view for the project to see the message 5) Open the Project Properties, either select from File menu or right-click on project name and select from the menu. Then go to C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Standard S32DS C Compiler -> Includes and delete all include paths starting with $(S32K1**_SDK_VER_PATH). Repeat this step for the Standard S32DS Assembler -> General include paths. Note: For all changes in C/C++ Build -> Settings, make sure to repeat for all build configurations (RAM, FLASH, Debug, Release, etc.). 6) The paths to the SDK should now be gone. The result should look similar to this: 7) In Standard S32DS C Compiler -> Preprocessor settings, change the defined symbol to the one which is appropriate for the new MCU and click OK. (e.g. CPU_S32K142 for S32K142, CPU_S32K148 for S32K148, etc.) If you are not sure what should be here, then create a new empty project for the new MCU and refer to the settings there. 😎 The Preprocessor setting after the change 9) Click on the 'Generate Processor Expert Code' button in the Components view for your project 10) From Project Explorer, remove the startup and linker files from Project Settings folder 11) Copy startup and linker files for the new MCU from <SDK_PATH>/platform/devices/<CPU>/startup/<Compiler> and <SDK_PATH>/platform/devices/<CPU>/linker/<Compiler> 12) Open the Project Properties, then C/C++ Build -> Settings -> Standard S32DS C Linker -> General and update the linker file path to reflect the new filename and click OK. (in this case: S32K144_64_flash.id to S32K142_32_flash.id) 13) After the change 14) Perform a Clean and a Build operations of the project. 15) Update the device in the debug configurations Now you can change your MCU derivatives!

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!
