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!

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    b) 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.

This document describes how to generate an executable file that includes data flash content and how to program it into DFLASH using PEMicro GDB debugger. The default project generated by the project wizard builds an executable with code flash sections only.  Note: It is demonstrated on MPC5744P project but with some small adjustments it's applicable to any other MPC56xx/57xx derivative supported by S32 Design Studio for Power. Let's first explain how to build an executable that contains DFLASH section:  Check the memory map of the target device in the reference manual to figure out where DFLASH is mapped into. Add DFLASH memory segment/section into the linker file  (MPC57xx_flash.ld).   MEMORY {     flash_rchw : org = 0x00FA0000,   len = 0x4     cpu0_reset_vec : org = 0x00FA0004,   len = 0x4             m_text :        org = 0x1000000, len = 2048K        m_data :        org = 0x40000000,   len = 384K        int_dram  : org = 0x50800000,   len = 64K                m_dflash :  org = 0x800000, len = 96K    /* data flash memory segment */ }  SECTIONS {   …   .dflash : { KEEP (*(.dflash)) } > m_dflash  /* place .dflash section into dflsah memory*/   … }‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Select the data you want to place into the DFLASH section in the source code and associate it with the memory section you created in previous step (".dflash"). __attribute__((section(".dflash"))) const unsigned int dflash_int = 0xFEEDCAFE; __attribute__((section(".dflash"))) const char dflash_char[]= "Hello World form DFLASH!";‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Build the project and check the generated .map file.  The custom".dflash" section should contain the selected data objects. .dflash         0x00800000       0x1d  *(.dflash)  .dflash        0x00800000       0x1d ./src/main.o                 0x00800000                dflash_int                 0x00800004                dflash_char‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍ Let's now adjust the project debug configuration to be able to program DFLASH.  First  make sure you installed the latest version of PEMicro Eclipse Plugin. See the post below - it's about ARM version of S32DS but the update process for S32DS for Power is exactly the same. You just need is to select e200 component instead of ARM: error while dubbing: "ERROR loading to the device"  If you need to control DFLASH programming separately from code flash you would need a separate debug configuration for DFLASH. You can use "Duplicate" feature on an existing Debug configuration. This creates a new configuration with pre-populated fields so you don't have to enter them all manually. Change the debug configuration name and press "Apply" Switch to the Debugger tab -> Advanced Options and tick "Use Alternative Algorithm" option. Open Browse dialog and go to the folder below where all flash programming algorithms are located (*.pcp) and  select the appropriate DFLASH programming algorithm e.g. for this example: freescale_mpc5744p_1x32x20k_dflash_cut2.pcp          "<S32_Power_v1.x>\eclipse\plugins\com.pemicro.debug.gdbjtag.ppc_1.5.6.201703011834\win32\gdi\P&E"   Note: Folder name "com.pemicro.debug.gdbjtag.ppc_1.5.6.201703011834" may differ depending on the latest version of Pemicro GDB plugin version installed on your machine. It's recommended to enter the latest version folder if there are multiple plugin versions available.   If you want to program DFLASH and code flash at once you can just adjust the existing debug configuration. In this case you should select combined cflash+dflash flash algorithm such as e.g. freescale_mpc5744p_cflash_dflash_cut2.pcp  Click on debug button and as soon as the debug session is established check the DFLASH memory space in the Memory View

The S32K3 RTD 2.0.0 lacks SIUL2 external interrupt function. Siul2_Icu is part of Icu(Input Capture Unit), the main function of the example should have been: use the Icu and Dio drivers to toggle a LED on a push button. But it doesn't. So this document will show the step-by-step process to add 'SIUL2 external interrupt' function in Siul2_Port_Ip_Example_S32K344 using the S32K3xx RTD LLD(Low Level Driver) and the S32 Configuration Tools. This example is for the S32K3X4EVB-Q257, connected to a PC through USB (OpenSDA) connection. Preparation Setup the software tools Install S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform Install the S32K1xx development package and the S32K1 RTD AUTOSAR 4.4. Both of these are required for the S32 Configuration Tools. Launch S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform Procedure 1. Import Siul2_Port_Ip_Example_S32K344 example File->New->S32DS Project from Example It can be seen that in the Icu (Input Capture Unit Driver) folder of S32K3 RTD 2.0.0, there are only interrupt routines implemented by the Emios module for the time being, and external interrupt routines for the EIRQ pin of the Siul2 module does not exist. Here we import the Siul2_Port_Ip_Example_S32K344 routine, and add the Siul2_Icu part on this basis.   2. Add push button and LED in Pins tool Add the pins for user buttons (SW4 PTB26 SIUL2 eirq13) according to the S32K3X4EVB-Q257.   3. Add IntCtrl_Ip component Go to Peripherals tool. Here we can see that the ‘Siul2_Dio’ and ‘Siul2_Port’ components are already added. From the Components view, click on ‘Add a new configuration component…’ button from the Drivers category. This will bring up a list of non-AUTOSAR components. Locate and then select the ‘IntCtrl_Ip’ component from the list and click OK. Option 1: Keep the default setting after add ‘IntCtrl_Ip’ component(Here we didn't change the settings of ‘IntCtrl_Ip’, nor use IntCtrl_Ip_Init and IntCtrl_Ip_ConfigIrqRouting API to enable interrupts and install handlers in IntCtrl_Ip).This routine only uses one interrupt, so we will call IntCtrl_Ip_InstallHandler and IntCtrl_Ip_EnableIrq those two APIs to install and enable the SIUL2 EIRQ13 IRQ separately. Option 2: User can enable many interrupts in the Interrupt Controller configuration(Note user can only add one interrupt controller configuration in the RTD); Meanwhile, it can set interrupt’s priority separately. The two APIs IntCtrl_Ip_Init and IntCtrl_Ip_ConfigIrqRouting can initialize these interrupts as a whole. The name of the Handler in the Generic Interrupt Settings tab needs to be the same as the name in peripheral_Ip_Irq.c of the corresponding peripheral. For example, this routine uses the PTB26 SIUL2 EIRQ13 external interrupt, which can be found in RTD/src/Siul2_Icu_Ip_Irq.c: ISR(SIUL2_EXT_IRQ_8_15_ISR) According to the "Table 35" of S32K3XXRM reference manual, we can see the SIUL2 EIRQ13(PTB26) external interrupt used in this routine belongs to SIUL_1_IRQn and the Handler name SIUL2_EXT_IRQ_8_15_ISR.   4. Add Siul2_Icu component Click on ‘Add a new configuration component…’ button from the Drivers category. Locate and then select the ‘Siul2_Icu’ component from the list and click OK. Step 5 select SIUL2_0_IRQ_CH_13 because this routine selects the onboard SW4 PTB26 SIUL2 EIRQ13 external interrupt (the onboard SW5 PTB19 pin has no EIRQ external interrupt function, so I did not added here). Step 6 set DIRER0[EIREn] to enable this external interrupt pin. Step 8 set the IFCPR[IFCP] filter clock prescaler. Step 10 input 13 for the Hardware channel due to we use SIUL2 EIRQ13. Step 11 set IFER0[IFEn] to enable the glitch filter for the external interrupt pin. Step 12 set IFMCRn[MAXCNT] to assign value to the external interrupt filter counter. Step 14 select the IcuSiu2Channel_0 channel configured in the IcuSiul2 tab above. Step 15 select the ICU_RISING_EDGE according to the SW4 button circuit (press to generate a rising edge). Step 16 Because the SIUL2 EIRQ external interrupt is used in this routine, ICU_MODE_SIGNAL_EDGE_DETECT mode must be selected. Step 17 add the corresponding callback function name. That is, it corresponds to the notification after the SIUL2 EIRQ external interrupt pin captures the rising edge (the interrupt flag does not need to be cleared here, the driver has already been implemented it).   5. Include the headers for the drivers used in the application #include "Siul2_Icu_Ip.h" #include "IntCtrl_Ip.h"   6. Add Siul2_Icu LLD APIs Siul2_Icu_Ip_Init is used to initialize all Siul2_Icu channels generated by the S32 Configuration Tools (this routine only configures the channel SW4 PTB26 SIUL2 EIRQ13). Siul2_Icu_Ip_EnableInterrupt enable Siul2 IRQ interrupt for the specified channels. Siul2_Icu_Ip_EnableNotification enable callback function of Siul2 IRQ interrupt for the specified channels. This routine uses the SW4 button to trigger the PTB26 SIUL2 EIRQ13 external interrupt callback function SW4_eirq13_PTB26_Callback to flip the PTB18 D33 red LED.   7. Add IntCtrl LLD APIs IntCtrl_Ip_InstallHandler installs the SIUL2_EXT_IRQ_8_15_ISR interrupt handler generated by the S32 Configuration Tools. IntCtrl_Ip_EnableIrq enables the corresponding interrupt. Why input SIUL_1_IRQn and SIUL2_EXT_IRQ_8_15_ISR has been explained at the end of "4. Adding the IntCtrl_Ip component" above.

This document explains how to change the package of a processor expert project, for example, from S32K144 100LQFP to S32K144 64LQFP.  It does NOT explain how to change processor derivatives (e.g. S32K144 to S32K142). 1. Assuming that the project is opened and active, go to Components Library View and click on Processors     2. Expand the repository folders and double click on your processor (e.g. S32K144) 3. Select new package (e.g.S32K144_64) and click on finish. Now the new variant will be added to your project 4. Go to PinSettings component and click on Switch Configuration. This action will change the pins configuration for new package and will discard the original pin configuration.

On reset, all module registers have default values. These settings are typically not ideal for achieving optimal system performance. Also, some peripherals must be configured before they can be used. DCD is the configuration information contained in the DCD image that BootROM uses to configure peripherals on the device. BootROM determines the location of the DCD table from the associated pointer in the IVT.   The main functionality of the DCD Tool is to generate the Device Configuration Data (DCD) image using the format and constraints as specified in the Boot ROM reference manual.   In the steps below, an example process for creating the DCD binary for initializing SRAM is shown. To initialize the SRAM, a logic '1' must be written to the INITREQ bit within the PRAMCR register of the SRAMC and SRAMC_1 peripherals.   Procedure With a project open in project explorer (C/C++ perspective), switch to DCD perspective. Click on the arrow next to the 'Open S32 Configuration' button and select 'Open DCD'. Check that correct project is selected  In DCD Commands panel, select Command Type 'Write', then click 'Set' Click 'Add Register', then set the following settings. Can start typing the names to filter the list for faster setting selection.   For Peripheral setting, select 'SRAMC'. You can search for it by typing the name. Register setting, select 'PRAMCR'. The list is short, so it is not necessary to type the name. In Bitfields, select 'INITREQ' Now click on the highlighted bit to set it. Again using 'New Command' box, repeat settings of steps 3 & 4, however, this time select Peripheral 'SRAMC_1'. If everything was done correctly, in the DCD Binary panel to the right, should appear as shown. If so, click 'Export'. The generated DCD file will be displayed. By default, C format is selected. Select Binary format and click OK. Select a location to save the file (such as the project folder in the workspace directory) and give it a meaningful name. Click Save. You are done! DCD image file is created in binary format and ready to be imported to IVT Tool.  

Perhaps you are just using the S32DS for Power for the first time, and maybe you've seen the provided examples and want to learn a bit more about how they were created. Here are the steps to create a simple application for the MCP5748G MCU which toggles a pin causing one of the user LEDs to blink. This example includes use of the S32 SDK for Power Architecture. Please note: There are options in the steps below to cover the case of either the DEV-KIT(DEVKIT-MPC5748G) or Motherboard(X-MPC574XG-MB) with Daughtercard(X-MPC574XG-324DS) hardware EVBs. 1) Launch S32DS for Power 2) Select File -> New -> New S32DS Project 3) Enter a name for the project, such as 'BlinkingLED' 4) Locate, from the list of processors, Family MPC574xG -> MPC5748G, and select it. 5) Click Next 6) Uncheck the boxes for cores e200z4 and e200z2, leaving just e200z4 (boot) checked. This is because the application will run on the boot core and will not use either of the other two cores. 7) Click on the '…' button next to SDKs, in the column for BlinkingLED_Z4_0. 😎 Check the box next to MPC5748G_SDK_Z4_0_GCC to include support for the SDK within the new project and for the core we have selected. 9) Click OK 10) Click Finish to close the New Project wizard window and start the project generation. 11) Wait a minute or two for the project generation script to complete. 12) Go to the 'Components Library' view then locate and double-click on 'pit' component to add it to the project.  Alternatively, right-click and select Add to project. You can verify it was added by inspecting the 'Components - <project_name>' view. 13) With 'pit' selected in the 'Components - BlinkingLED_Z4_0' view, go to the 'Component Inspector' view to see the configurations for the PIT component. Locate the section for 'Configuration 0'. You may have to scroll down to see it. Change the 'Time period' setting to 500000 microsec(0.5 sec). Note that we are editing the settings for Clock configuration 'clockMan_InitConfig0', you will need the name of this configuration later. 14) Back in the 'Components' view, select 'pin_mux' component and return to the 'Component Inspector' view 15) From the 'Routing' tab, select the 'SIUL2' sub-tab and scroll down the Signals list until 'GPIO_0' (DEV-KIT) or 'GPIO_99' (Motherboard) is shown. 16) Change to the following settings: a. Pin/Signal Selection: PA[0] (DEV-KIT) / PG[3] (Motherboard) b. Direction: Output Pin PA0/PG3 is connected to user LED 2 on the evaluation board. 17) All configuration settings are now complete. Click Generate Processor Expert code button in the 'Components' view or use the menu bar Project-> Generate Processor Expert Code. 18) Wait for the code generation to complete. 19) Now, from the 'Project Explorer' view, the generated code is visible in the folder 'Generated_Code' of the project 'BlinkingLED_Z4_0'. 20) If not already open, in 'Project Explorer' open the file 'BlinkngLED_Z4_0\Sources\main.c' by double-click. This will open the file in the editor view. 21) Scroll down until the following comments are shown: /* Write your code here */ /* For example: for(;;) { } */ We need to add some code here to initialize the clocks, timers and pins. Then we will setup a timer interrupt handler to toggle the pin. 22) First we need to initialize the clocks. From the 'Components' view, expand 'clock_manager' and then drag & drop CLOCK_DRV_Init function into main() of main.c, just after the comments identified in the previous step within the text editor view. 23) Add to the function CLOCK_DRV_Init(), the parameter &clockMan1_InitConfig0 to give it the address of the user configuration structure generated by ProcessorExpert in '.../Generated_Code/clockMan1.c'. This is the clock configuration for which we edited the timer period in an earlier step. 24) Next we need to initialize the pins. Back in the 'Components' view, expand the 'pin_mux' then drag and drop the function PINS_DRV_Init after the clock initialization. 25) Again from the 'Components' view, expand 'interrupt_manager', then drag & drop INT_SYS_InstallHandler in 'main()'. This installs the PIT channel 0 interrupt handler. 26) Enter the parameters: PIT_Ch0_IRQn, &pitCh0Handler, NULL 27) In the User includes section at the start of main.c, add the implementation of the handler a. Create a function called pitCh0Handler b. In the function body: clear the interrupt flag and toggle LED   /* IRQ handler for PIT ch0 interrupt */   void pitCh0Handler(void)   { /* Clear PIT channel 0 interrupt flag */ PIT_DRV_ClearStatusFlags(INST_PIT1, 0U); /* Toggle LED (GPIO 0 connected to user LED 2) */ SIUL2->GPDO[0] ^= SIUL2_GPDO_PDO_4n_MASK; // DEV-KIT /* SIUL2->GPDO[99/4] ^=SIUL2_GPDO_PDO_4n3_MASK;*/ // Motherboard   } Note: Get PIT_DRV_ClearStatusFlags by drag & drop from the 'pit' component. 28) In 'Components' view, expand 'pit' component and then drag & drop PIT_DRV_Init, PIT_DRV_InitChannel & PID_DRV_StartChannel in main() after INT_SYS_InstallHandler(). 29) Fill in the second parameter of the last function(channel number): 0U 30) Build the code. Click the down arrow next to the 'Build' button and select Debug_RAM. Check that there are no build errors. 31) Enter the 'Debug Configurations' menu: a. From the menu bar, Run -> Debug Configurations... b. From the toolbar, down arrow next to Debug button -> Debug Configurations... 32) The Debug Configurations window appears. Select the configuration BlinkingLED_Z4_0_Debug_RAM from within the GDB PEMicro Interface Debugging group. 33) Select the 'Debugger' tab to setup the connection to the debugger hardware device. 34) Select the PEMicro Interface which corresponds to your setup: a. If using the motherboard, you will likely use the USB Multilink, which is connected to your PC via USB cable (type A on one end, type B on the other) and is connected to the motherboard via the 14-pin JTAG cable. b. If using the DEV-KIT board, you will likely choose the OpenSDA, which is integrated into the DEV-KIT board and is connected with just a USB cable (type A on one end, type micro on the other). 35) Click Debug To launch the debugging session. This will also open the Debug perspective. 36) In the Debug perspective, once the debugging session has fully launched, the code will be executed to the start of main(), where a breakpoint was automatically set for you. Press Resume button in the toolbar, Run -> Resume in the menu bar, or F8 on your keyboard to run the application. 37) You should now see the User LED2 on the board blink every 0.5 seconds. 38) To see the value of the output register bit for the output pin connected to the LED: a. Set a breakpoint on a line within pitCh0Handler() b. Go to the EmbSys Registers view, expand the SIUL2 module and scroll down to the GPDO register index which is accessed in the code. Double-click it to read the value. Expand it to see the individual bits. c. Press Resume a few times to see the register value change

NOTICE: This may NOT work with the newer versions of PEmicro eclipse plugin (e.g. with S32DS for Power 2017.R1). Please use an alternative way described here: https://community.nxp.com/thread/486662?commentID=1068206#comment-1068206 This document describes how to program DCF record into UTEST flash with S32DS for Power v1.1+ using PEMICRO Probe (OpenSDA, USB Multilink, USB Multilink FX...) In  S32 Design Studio for Power v1.2+  the Pemicro plugin update step is not required since it's already included so you can skip  Step 1) Step 1) Update Pemicro Plugin.  See the post below - it's about ARM version of S32DS but the update process for S32DS for Power is exactly the same. You just need is to select e200 component instead of ARM  error while dubbing: "ERROR loading to the device" Step 2) Download and extract Flash programming algorithms for MPC5xxx directly from PEMICRO website into your computer. http://www.pemicro.com/downloads/download_file.cfm?download_id=422 Step 3) Create or reuse an existing S32DS project to connect to the board and inspect the existing content of UTEST/DCF user area memory section. See e.g. MPC5644P example below. Next available address for DCF record of this specific chip is 0x0040_0220 .. 0x0040_0227   Step 3a)  You can export this 64bit free region into a srecord file e.g. MyNewDCF.srec Step 3b)  Adjust Srecord file created to match with DCF record you intend to write. Don't forget to re-calculate Srec checksum. e.g. NOP 0x00000000 00000000   S3 0D 004002200 0000 0000 0000 0000 90 Step 4) Create/clone an existing debugger configuration that will load DCF into UTEST and adjust its parameters. Step 4a) Change the debugger configuration Name and enter the srecord path + file name adjusted in step 3b) as a C/C++ application. Step 4b) Debugger Tab -> Advanced Options - select Use Alternative Algorithm and browse the location where you extracted flash algorithms at step 2)  E.g. Freescale_MPC5744P_1x32x4k_UTest.pcp Step 4c)  Adjust Startup options - Disable Load Symbols and Run on Reset since this configuration is only for programming DCF record and not for debugging. Step 5) Now press Debug button and it should program your DCF record into UTEST flash memory. After debug session is established you can check if the DCF has been programmed correctly into DCF user area in Memory View. Note: The device will process these DCF records during the system reset sequence before the CPU leaves reset.

S32DS ARM2.2 K144xx fPic Example description. Provided example demonstrate possibility of creation Position Independent Code using  standard  S32DS ARM 2.2 tools.  Example code blink RGB LED using svc interrupt handler. Output  picExample.bin should be loaded via restore gdb command only into existing K144 RAM area(0x1fff8000 – 20007000 for EVB board), then pc set to startup value.(see picExample_Debug_RAM_PNE_fpic  Debug configuration). Note: restore gdb command needs absolute path to *.bin file. Example is based on standard K144 application. Changes: -fPIC option should be set(Project->Properties->C/C++ Build ->Settings->Standard S32DS Compiler->Miscalenous->Position Independent Code). Create flash image checkbox should bes set.( Project->Properties->Cross Settings -> Create flash image). Flash Image output file format  should be set to Raw binary(Project->Properties->C/C++ Build ->Settings->Standard S32DS Create Flash Image ) Add -nostdlib linker option(Project->Properties->C/C++ Build ->Settings->Standard S32DS Linker->General ->No startup or default libs). Existing S was modified(stack pointer was corrected, bl instead of blx for function calls was used. Standard linker script was modified(see example) Interrupts vector table was moved to data area. Due to this vector addresses are corrected on startup by FixGot routine(see SystemInit()c) Common RAM area was declared starting from 0. __got_start and __got_end were declared in Global Offset Table   For an in-depth analysis and step-by-step guide on the topic of implementing position-independent code, please see the following blog at mcuoneclipse.com: Position-Independent Code With GCC for arm Cortex M 

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.

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:
