The S32 Debugger included within the S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform IDE provides the capability to access the flash programming capabilities of the S32 Debug Probe via GTA command line and the GDB. This instruction details the steps to perform flash programming of the S32R45 EVB via the JTAG interface with the S32 Debug Probe.   Note: currently only QSPI flashing is supported.   Preparation Install S32 Design Studio IDE  Install the Development Package for the device you are debugging. In this case, the S32R4xx development package. This is important as the S32 Debugger support within it contains the device-specific Python scripts required for initialization of the cores.    Setup the hardware Confirm the setup of the S32R45 evaluation board.  Confirm the JTAG connection. The S32R45 evaluation board supports both 10- and 20- pin JTAG connections. 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 Launch GTA server. From command prompt or Windows File Explorer run the command:  {S32DS Install Path}\S32DS\tools\S32Debugger\Debugger\Server\gta\gta.exe Should see a window appear like this:   Ensure Environment Variable for Python is set. From command prompt, run the command:   set PYTHONPATH={S32DS Install Path}\S32DS\build_tools\msys32\mingw32\lib\python2.7;{S32DS Install Path}\S32DS\build_tools\msys32\mingw32\lib\python2.7\site-packages   Start GDB. In a command window, run the command: Windows OS: {S32DS Install Path}\S32DS\tools\gdb-arm\arm32-eabi\bin\arm-none-eabi-gdb-py.exe (for arm32) OR {S32DS Install Path}\S32DS\tools\gdb-arm\arm64-eabi\bin\aarch64-none-elf-gdb-py.exe (for arm64) Linux OS: arm-none-eabi-gdb-py A (gdb) prompt should now be displayed in the command window:     Configure the EVB's Boot Mode switches for Serial Boot. Issue the following commands, replacing the PROBE_IP address and FLASH_NAME, as appropriate: source {S32DS Install Path}/S32DS/tools/S32Debugger/Debugger/scripts/gdb_extensions/flash/s32flash.py py _FLASH_TYPE = "qspi" py _PROBE_IP="10.81.64.66" py _JTAG_SPEED=20000 py _GDB_SERVER_PORT=45000 py _GDB_TIMEOUT=7200 py _REMOTE_TIMEOUT=30 py _RESET_DELAY=1 py _RESET_TYPE="default" py _INIT_SCRIPT="{S32DS Install Path}/S32DS/tools/S32Debugger/Debugger/scripts/s32r45/s32r45_generic_bareboard.py" py _FLASH_NAME="MX25UW51245G" py _IS_LOGGING_ENABLED=False py flash() Note: Replace the {S32DS Install Path} in the commands above with the actual path to your installation of S32 Design Studio. Now flash commands may be used. fl_blankcheck -- blank check fl_close -- close command fl_current -- current device command fl_dump -- dump command fl_erase -- erase section of memory command, will erase whole sectors starting from 'offset' through 'size' contiguously, so to erase only one sector, ensure that the 'offset' address is within the desired sector and 'size' does not extend into the following sector fl_erase_all -- erase all memory command fl_info -- info command, shows list of registered devices fl_protect -- protect section of memory command fl_unprotect -- unprotect section of memory command fl_write -- write memory command, hex or binary are supported, options to erase first and verify after write fl_write_elf -- write elf file to memory command, options to erase first, verify after, and rearrange flash base Type 'help fl_<command>' to print the help info on the specified command Type 'help support' to print a list of the fl_ commands For example, you may wish to write a binary file: fl_write -e 0x0 C:\\Users\\<userid_folder>\\workspaceS32DS\\hello_world\\Debug_RAM\\hello_world_blob.bin Happy flashing with S32DS Flash Programmer!

Purpose   This document holds information about how S32 Design Studio and S32Debugger probe or PE Micro Debug probe can be used to debug applications running on NXP’s S32 family processors from the operating system perspective using OSEK Kernel awareness.   Abbreviations Abbreviation Description OSEK Open Systems and their Interfaces for Automotive Electronics is a standard developed in the automotive industry to define a common architecture for embedded Real-Time Operating Systems (RTOS). NXP RTOS NXP Real Time Operating System compliant with OSEK specification  ORTI OSEK Run Time Interface.  ORTI file is generated based on NXP RTOS configuration *.ort / *.orti OSEK system builder ORTI file extension MSI Microsoft Software Installer   Background OSEK Kernel awareness within S32 Design Studio allows you to debug your application from the operating system perspective. ORTI is a specification that enables OS awareness for external debuggers (e.g NXP S32 Debugger, Lauterbach T32, PEmicro's debug probe).  Most OSEK system builders are able to extract all necessary information of the OS component into a text file, called “ORTI file”. NXP RTOS generates an *.ort file based on the user configuration. Debuggers can load this ORTI file to add support for the operating system. S32Design Studio can load such an ORTI file and adds some special views that will allow the user to inspect the configured OS objects: Tasks, Alarms, Counters, Scheduletable.   Document structure The basic workflow for setting up and managing OSEK OS Awareness projects in S32 Design Studio remains consistent across both single-core and multi-core projects, irrespective of the debug probe used. The focus will be on the universal steps that are described in single-core projects case. For OSEK OS Awareness multi-core projects and for projects utilizing PE Micro debug probes, only the specific considerations will be highlighted.                 Hardware Support OSEK OS Awareness support in S32 Design Studio is available for: S32G27x, S32G39x S32E/Z  S32K396 S32R41 SAF85xx   OS Support OSEK OS Awareness support is available only on Windows.   How to use OSEK OS Awareness with S32 Design Studio and S32Debugger probe   Single core projects   Prerequisites Note: This HOWTo Guide describes the required steps for using OSEK Run Time Interface on a single-core example project for S32R418AA Cortex-M7 in S32 Design Studio. Prerequisites might differ depending on the project hardware type.   Software environment S32 Design Studio project or example project delivered with the NXP RTOS imported in S32 Design Studio Workspace S32R41 Development Package S32R41 Real-Time Drivers Version 1.0.0 SW32R41 RTOS 4.7.0 version 0.9.0 BETA   !Note: For this example project, NXP RTOS SysGen requires Java Runtime Environment OpenJDK-JRE 11.0.11 installed on your computer.

Requirements: SD card with installed Linux image connected to EVB (https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-335023 ) Serial link connection between PC and EVB (HOWTO: Setup A Remote Linux Connection in S32DS for Vision )  EVB connected to network   Procedure: Turn on EVB and connect to EVB via serial link using putty or any other terminal (115200 baud, 8N1). Login as the root user. Edit network interfaces configuration file by command vi /etc/network/interfaces and modify (press INS key to switch vi editor to edit mode) the file by the way as shown on next screenshot. Set IP address from range of your PC machine network settings.      The vi /etc/network/interfaces string is cutoff, because the OS acts during typing. The OS-printed line. [    29.817839] random: nonblocking pool is initialized (it varies with each boot). is written automatically by the OS a few seconds after login.  These characters do not make a difference.  Just enter the string as instructed and press Enter.  You will see the screen as follows.   Save new settings by :w command (press ESC key to switch vi editor to command mode) and exit from vi by :q command.   Restart network by command /etc/init.d/networking restart         Check the IP address by command ifconfig and try ping to your PC machine.        Troubleshooting: If you can't ping to PC machine and IP address is the same as you requested - check IP address on PC side and cable connection. If the IP address on EVB is different than you requested - check if you commented out the dhcp configuration. You may also try to reboot EVB instead of restarting network only.

While the S32V234-EVB2 comes shipped with an SD card preloaded with a Linux Board Support Package(BSP), it does not support the Vision Software Development Kit(VSDK). This you will have to load yourself. There are two methods for installing the S32V234 BSP for VSDK to your SD card: 1) Download the image file from your Software Account on nxp.com and write the file to the SD card, or 2) Create the image on the SD card from ubuntu installed on a PC or virtual machine Download the image file and write it to SD card This is the simplest method, but does not allow for much customization. It is an excellent choice for those users who do not have much experience with Linux or just need something quick to get up and running with S32 Design Studio, try out the application examples, etc. Procedure 1) Login to your account on NXP.COM (if you do not already have an account, then just register for one) 2) Go to Vision SDK Software  3) Accept the license agreement 4) Select the version of VSDK you wish to use 5) Check the box next to 'VisionSDK RTM x.x.x pre-built SD Card image based on Yocto rootfs' and click 'Download selected files'. This will download the .gz file to your PC. 6) Unpack the VisionSDK_S32V2_RTM_x_x_x_img_yocto.tar.gz archive file 7) Unpack the VisionSDK_S32V2_RTM_x_x_x_img_yocto.tar archive file 😎 Navigate to the '\build_content\v234_linux_build\s32v234evb' folder, then unpack the sdcard-evb.tar.bz2 file 9) Unpack the sdcard-evb.tar file 10) The resulting file is sdcard-evb.img. You can use an image writing tool (such as Win32 Disk Imager download | SourceForge.net) to write this image file to the SD card. You will need to use the SD card adapter to insert the microSD card into the SD card slot on your PC, if available. If you do not have an SD card slot on your PC, there are many SD card-to-USB adapters available on the market. 11) The SD card is now ready to inserted into the SD card slot on the S32V234-EVB2 SD card slot. Create the image on SD card from ubuntu This is a better choice for more advanced users who wish to customize the BSP. To prepare an SD card for a Linux boot, it is necessary to connect the SD card to a machine with Linux OS. If a Linux OS machine is not available, then a virtual machine installed to a Windows OS machine may be used. If you have access to a Linux OS machine, skip to step 4. Procedure 1) Download and install a virtual machine VMware Workstation Player Virtual Box 2) Download Ubuntu. This tutorial uses the Ubuntu version 14.04.5.  The image will be ubuntu-14.04.5-desktop-amd64.iso. 3) Launch VMware or Virtual Box and create a new virtual machine Use downloaded Ubuntu image when requested for installer disc image file Hit Next and select Linux as the guest operating system and select Ubuntu for the version. Hit Next and name your virtual machine and specify where you want to store it. Increase the disk size to 40 GB Hit Finish and install VMware Tools for Linux, if asked 4) Within C:\NXP\S32DS_Vision_v2.0\S32DS\s32v234_sdk\os extract 'build_content.tar.gz', then extract 'build_content.tar' and navigate to the 'v234_linux_build' folder 5) Start virtual machine May need to manually connect USB-mounted SD card reader Log in to virtual machine 6) In files, go to 'Home' directory and create a folder "VSDK" 7) Within VSDK folder, copy the files image, u-boot.s32, s32v234-evb.dtb, and rootfs.tar from the 'v234_linux_build' folder.  Note: The file s32v234-evb.dtb and u-boot.s32 will have names with XXXXX-suffix for the schematic number printed on the evaluation board (EVB) you are using. Be sure to use the files which correspond to your EVB. 😎 Load the card into the reader. If you are using a virtual machine, it is recommended to use a USB adapter instead of a built-in reader in the PC. 9) Within the virtual machine, launch the terminal program 10) Within the terminal program, enter command 'cat /proc/partitions' to view the names of the partitions and identify the names of the partitions on your SD card. Perhaps it is named 'sdb'. 11) Delete all existing partitions.    a) Enter command 'sudo fdisk /dev/sdb'.    b) Enter command 'd' and then the number of the partition to delete. Repeat as necessary until all partitions have been deleted 12) Create new partitions    a) Enter command 'n' for new    b) Enter 'p' (or just hit <enter>, as this is the default) for primary    c) Enter '1' (or just hit <enter>, as this is the default) for partition number 1.    d) Press <enter> to select the default value for the First sector    e) Enter '+255M' to set the size    f) Enter command 'n' again, for partition number 2, however, press <enter> to select the default value for the 'Last sector' 13) Set the partition type    a) Enter command 't' for type    b) Enter '1' for partition number 1    c) Enter 'c' for partition type FAT32    d) Enter command 't' again, for partition number 2, however, enter '83' for partition type LINUX If you get error 16: Device or resource busy, as shown above, use commands 'umount /dev/sdb1' and 'umount /dev/sdb2' to free the pre-existing partitions. Then try again and should be ok now 14) Write the new configuration, enter 'w' 15) Try to setup the filesystems. Enter 'sudo mkfs.vfat -n boot /dev/sdb1'. If you get the error '/dev/sdb1 contains a mounted filesystem', you will need to unmount the partition first. To save time, unmount both /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb2. Enter 'umount /dev/sdb1' and then 'umount /dev/sdb2' Now try 'sudo mkfs.vfat -n boot /dev/sdb1' again 16) It worked, so now enter 'sudo mkfs.ext3 -L rootfs /dev/sdb2'. It will take a minute or two for this to complete. Wait until you get the command prompt again. 17) Now it's time to load the BSP content from the VSDK. But first, change the directory to the one we created earlier for the BSP files. Enter 'cd /home/user/VSDK' or 'cd VSDK'. Enter the following commands: sudo dd if=u-boot.s32 of=/dev/sdb bs=512 seek=8 conv=fsync sudo cp Image /media/user/boot sudo cp s32v234-evb.dtb /media/user/boot 18) Now we need to extract the root filesystem, change the directory to its location 19) Enter command 'sudo tar -xvf /home/user/VSDK/rootfs.tar' 20) Once the files are extracted, enter command 'sync'   Now the SD card is ready to be used in the S32V234-EVB.

Requirements: SD card with installed Linux image connected to EVB (HOWTO: Prepare A SD Card For Linux Boot Of S32V234-EVB Using BSP From VSDK ) Configured network connection between EVB and PC machine (HOWTO: S32V234 EVB Linux - Static IP address configuration ) S32DS for Vision Procedure: Build your Linux project.

  In some cases FreeRTOS heap can consume huge portion of RAM memory - especially on small devices like S32K312 and for example DTCM memory is unused. FreeRTOS allows user defined heap which can be moved in any section in RAM.  First step - make sure, that in FreeRTOS config is application allocated heap is disabled:   Second step - open linker script file and create new section which points into DTCM memory:     Third step - define ucHeap variable with section attribute:     We are done - FreeRTOS Heap is moved into DTCM memory:    In case, that DTCM memory is used - typically there can be Interrupt Vector Table, stack and so on, you can skip creating new section in linker script file and simply add *(my_head) at the end of existing section mapped into dtcm:    FreeRTOS heap will be placet at the end of used DTCM memory:

Condition: Enable Stopindebug bit for PIT and STM module. Counter could be stop when debug project, but when i set debug mode on, counter not count, project can't be run. Analysis: In order for PIT timer to count when a FRZ bit is enabled, all cores on S32V23x devices need to be running. The reason why it does not work out of the box with current plugin configuration, is because we halt all device cores, which is especially necessary for RAM based projects. Solution: We created a start-up macro to keep all cores running when S32V232M80 or S32V234M100 debug sessions are launched. In order to use it, please go to the following directory without your S32DS3.2 IDE: eclipse\plugins\com.pemicro.debug.gdbjtag.pne_4.2.8.201909091700\win32\gdi\P&E\supportFiles_ARM\NXP\S32Vxxx.

This document shows the step-by-step process to create a simple blinking LED application for the S32R45 device using the S32 RTD non-AUTOSAR drivers. For this example used for the S32R45 EVB, connected via ethernet connection through S32 Debugger. Preparation Setup the software tools Install S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform Install the S32R45 development package and the S32R45 RTD AUTOSAR 4.4. Both of these are required for the S32 Configuration Tools. Launch S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform Procedure New S32DS Project OR Provide a name for the project, for example 'Blinking_LED_RTD_No_AUTOSAR'. The name must be entered with no space characters. Expand Family S32R45, Select S32R45 Cortex-M7 Click Next And Click '…' button next to SDKs   Check box next to PlatformSDK_S32RXX_4_0_0_S32R45_M7_0. (or whichever latest SDK for the S32R45 is installed). Click OK Now, uncheck the selection mark for other core, i.e. for Cortex-M7-1 , Cortex-M7-2   Click Finish. Wait for project generation wizard to complete, then expand the project within the Project Explorer view to show the contents. To control the LED on the board, some configuration needs to be performed within the Pins Tool. There are several ways to do this. One simple way by double-click on the MEX file. By default, the Pins tool is then presented. For the Blinking LED example, one pin must be configured as output. The S32R45 EVB has an user LED connected pin is PD_05. From the Peripheral Signals tab left to the Pins tool perspective layout, locate Open the Siul2_0 from the peripheral signals tab. And from the drop down menu select “gpio,53 PD_05” option as per shown in the following image. We are using PD_05 for the GPIO usage, so we are routing SIUL2_0 GPIO signal to this pin. Select gpio53 -> PD_05 as shown below : The Direction required! menu will appear. Select Output then OK. In Routing Details view, notice a new line has been added and highlighted in yellow. Add ‘LED’ to the Label and Identifier columns for the PORTD 5 pin. Code Preview Go to Peripherals tool and add Siul2_Dio to enable LED blinking, it adjacent to the user LED on S32R45 EVB. Click on the Peripherals Tool icon from the Eclipse Perspective navigation bar. From the Components view, click on ‘Add a new configuration component…’ button from the Drivers category. This will bring up a list of all configuration components. Locate and then select the ‘Siul2_Dio’ component from the list and click OK. Do not worry about the warning message. It is only indicating that the driver is not already part of the current project. The associated driver package will be added automatically. Note: It may be necessary to change the selection at the top from ‘Present in the tool-chain project’ to ‘All’. The DIO driver provides services for reading and writing to/from DIO Channels. The Gpio_Dio driver requires no further configuration. Click Save to store all changes to the .MEX file. Now the device configurations are complete and the RTD configuration code can be generated. Click ‘Update Code’ from the menu bar. To control the output pin which was just configured, some application code will need to be written. Return to the ‘C/C++’ perspective. If not already open, in the project window click the ‘>’ next to the ‘src’ folder to show the contents, then double click ‘main.c’ file to open it. This is where the application code will be added. Before the pin can be controlled, it needs to be initialized using the configuration information that was generated from the S32 Configuration tools. Initialize all pins using the Port driver by adding the following line: Insert the following line into main, after the comment 'Write your code here': /* Initialize all pins using the Port driver */ Siul2_Port_Ip_Init(NUM_OF_CONFIGURED_PINS0, g_pin_mux_InitConfigArr0); Now, add logic for the LED turn and off. To turn the pin on and off with some delays in-between to cause the LED to blink. Make the delays long enough to be perceptible. Add line to initialize variable uint8 i = 0; Change the code within the provided for loop, and add the following lines: //logic for blinking LED 10 times while (i++ < 10) {        Siul2_Dio_Ip_WritePin(LED_PORT, LED_PIN, 1U);        TestDelay(4000000);        Siul2_Dio_Ip_WritePin(LED_PORT, LED_PIN, 0U);        TestDelay(4000000); } Before the 'main' function, add a delay function as follows: void TestDelay(uint32 delay); void TestDelay(uint32 delay) {    static volatile uint32 DelayTimer = 0;    while (DelayTimer<delay)    {        DelayTimer++;    }    DelayTimer=0; } Update the includes lines at the top of the main.c file to include the headers for the drivers used in the application: Remove #include "Mcal.h" Add #include "Siul2_Port_Ip.h" #include "Siul2_Dio_Ip.h" Build 'Blinking_LED_RTD_No_AUTOSAR'. Select the project name in 'C/C++ Projects' view and then press 'Build'. After the build completes, check that there are no errors. Open Debug Configurations and select 'Blinking_LED_RTD_No_AUTOSAR_Debug_RAM'. Make sure to select the configuration which matches the build type performed, otherwise it may report an error if the build output doesn’t exist. Now, you need to Select the Interface (Ethernet or 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. Click Debug To see the LED blink, click ‘Resume'. This code as it will blink the LED 10 times, you can make changes in for loop condition to blink it infinitely.
