Hello,   The first official release of S32DS for Power Architecture is available in the download section of S32DS web page: http://www.nxp.com/s32ds S32 Design Studio is based on Eclipse open development platform and integrates the Eclipse IDE, GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), GNU Debugger (GDB), and other open-source software.

1. Build the project. a. Select the build configuration. (optional) b. Click on Build. c. Check there are no compiler errors. 2. Configure the debug configuration to start a debug session. a. Click down arrow next to Debug button. b. Select 'Debug Configurations…' c. Select the debug configuration associated with your current build configuration. d. Select whether to rebuild code each time debug session start is requested. e. Click on Debugger tab. f. Verify proper interface and port. 3. Click Debug

In recent releases of S32DS (Power v2017.R1, ARM v2.0, Vision v2.0) is new feature - you can add custom example into example list by copy example folder into [S32DS_INSTALL]\S32DS\examples path:  If you select New project from example - you can see your recently added project in User Examples folder. You can filter all examples by name or MCU model (for example all examples for S32K148):  Another useful improvement is possibility rename project before is inserted into active workspace. It allows you to have more projects based on the same example: If in your project folder is present description.txt file - the content of the file is shown in Create project dialog:

Building Projects There is already a significant amount of information already available on this topic. Please explore the external references listed below for detailed information. External References Building Projects with Eclipse Build Several CDT C++ projects from command line With the following command line, it is possible to build the project KEA128: eclipsec -nosplash -application org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.headlessbuild -data C:\Users\username\workspaceS32DS.ARM2.0 -build KEA128/Release   The project was located in workspace - C:\Users\username\workspaceS32DS.ARM2.0 Project Name is: KEA128 Build Configuration is: Release Emitting Source Code S32 Design Studio for Vision Emitting the source code from the command line: There are 2 sections in the Reference Manual, one for each of the ISP and APEX2 Visual Graph Tools. Processor Expert Software - S32 Design Studio There is a section in the Processor Expert User Guide titled 'Command Line Interface'

S32 Design Studio (S32DS) supports Lauterbach’s “loos coupling” version of Eclipse plug-in to debug S32DS projects via a Lauterbach probe + TRACE32 standalone application. This configuration uses Eclipse IDE for development and standalone TRACE32 for debugging.    This plug-in supports the features below: Start TRACE32 from an Eclipse launch configuration Support for multiple projects (multi-core) Synchronization of breakpoints between Eclipse and TRACE32 Open source file' functionality from TRACE32 to Eclipse and vice versa See the Lauterbach document for additional information about the plug-in.   Installation instructions First of all make sure you have TRACE32 installed. Now let's proceed to eclipse plug-in installation.   First of all make sure you have TRACE32 installed. Now let's proceed to eclipse plug-in installation.   go to menu "Help" -> "Install New Software"    Click on the arrow to bring up the list.  Select ‘LauterbachGmbHUpdateSite - http://www.lauterbach.com/eclipse‘                 Check the box next to the Lauterbach TRACE32 Eclipse Loose Coupling and click "Next"   Check "I Accept the terms of the license agreement" and Select all Lauterbach certificates to trust. Finally you proceed to the installation. When the plugin is installed you will be asked to restart S32DS   Now you should be able to use the New Project Wizard create an application project with Lauterbach Debugger support:     Or manage (create, delete, adjust) Lauterbach eclipse debug configurations:   Enjoy debugging with TRACE32 Eclipse plug-in in S32DS!  

Sometimes you would like to share sources between projects and - even better - between platforms. Let's say that we are developing software with the very same functionality for S32K144 and MPC5744P. In this case, we can identify platform independent functions - generic, platform specific functions - not related to MCU itself, but related to the way some peripheral works (for example different ADC result range) - and MCU dependent functions like clock init. In attachment is a very simple SDK which can be shared with S32K144 and MPC5744P (each in different S32DS editions).  Unzip my_sdk.zip archive (for example C:\NXP folder). You can import example projects, but instead let's start from the beginning. Create a new S32DS Application project and choose MCU: You can use default project configurations and click through to finish: Right click on project name -> Properties and select SDKs -> Add Complete the Name, Version and Description fields in New SDK dialog and click on Change button next to Location field. In Change SDK Location dialog, leave Define new variable setting selected, click Browse and find the my_sdk path: Now we can select files (sources, headers...) from selected SDK, you can select all available files. If you select a folder, then all files in that folder will be selected as well. Don't forget to select header files too: If you choose Copy - the files will be copied into project folder and you can do local changes. Without this option (default) - changes will be shared between all projects depended on this particular SDK. The ability to individually select the files to be included from the SDK as well as to copy into the project folder, provides much flexibility to customize SDK usage in your projects. Click on OK, then Attach/Detach... to attach this SDK into your project:  If you like to use your SDK for newly created projects (as an option in SDK select list) - click on Make global button: Now you can see changes in your project: As well, the SDK can be viewed in SDK Explorer (Window -> Show View -> Other...), where functions and macros are available for drag and drop functionality into your code: Platform specific code is filtered by preprocessor-defined macro. So - let's define if we are working with S32K144 or MPC5744P. Right click on project name -> Properties -> C/C++ Build -> Settings -> <Standard S32DS C Compiler OR name of your compiler> -> Preprocessor: We are done - now we can use SDK functions - S32K144:  and MPC5744P (enabling interrupts is default part of empty project for MPC5744P - that's only difference):
