S32DS for Vision contains many example projects from which you can learn how S32DS for Vision can be used with the help of the Vision SDK to develop vision applications. The example projects contain generated and hand-written code, which utilize the Vision SDK to demonstrate a workflow using S32DS for Vision. In this document, the procedure for creating a project from one of the provided ISP examples through to execution on the EVB is detailed. 1) Launch S32DS for Vision 2) Select "New S32DS Project from example" 3) Select isp_sonyimx224_csi_dcu project    In this particular project, the ISP graph diagram is included. If you wish to view it, go to the Project Explorer panel and expand 'isp_sonyimx224_csi_dcu_graph'. Then double click on 'ISP data flow : isp_sonyimx224_csi_dcu_graph'. The ISP graph diagram will appear in the editor panel. 4) Change to C/C++ perspective, click on 'Switch to C/C++ Development' 5) Select isp_sonyimx224_csi_dcu: A53 in the Project Explorer panel 6) Build project for A53  7) Start a debug session using method as described in HOWTO Create A53 Linux Project in S32DS for Vision, beginning at step 9. 😎 Should get results similar to this:

One of the many great features of the S32DS for Vision is the ability to access the Linux BSP file system on the SD card in the S32V234-EVB. Once connected, you can drag and drop files between your PC and the EVB. Once you have completed HOWTO: Setup S32V234 EVB for debugging with S32DS for Vision and Linux BSP and HOWTO: Setup A Remote Linux Connection, you are ready to setup the Remote Systems view to connect to the Linux files system to view and access the file system. 1) Go to 'Window -> Show View -> Other' 2) Expand 'Remote Systems', then select "Remote Systems' and click OK 3) Click 'Define a connection to remote system' button OR right-click in the Remote Systems window and select 'New -> Connection' from the list 4) Select 'SSH Only' 5) Enter the IP address noted from HOWTO: Setup A Remote Linux Connection for Host name and click Finish 6) Right-click on the connection name in the Remote Systems window and select 'Connect' OR expand the folders under the connection name until the login window appears: Connection_name -> Sftp Files -> Root (window appears) 7) Enter "root" for User ID 😎 Click OK 9) The Linux file system is now visible in the Remote Systems window. You can drag and drop files to and from here.

So you have created a project in S32DS for Vision with target of S32V234 Cortex-A53 APEX2/ISP Linux . You have built the project and now want to execute it on the S32V234-EVB, which is running the Linux BSP from the VSDK on a SD 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 to Setup S32V234 EVB for debugging with 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") 10) Get IP address, enter command:    ifconfig       Make note of the IP address 11) Launch S32DS for Vision. From the C/C++ Perspective, select Run->Debug Configurations... 12) From 'C/C++ Remote Application'. Select '<project_name>_Remote_Linux' debug configuration. 13) Select New to create new debug connection. 14) Select SSH 15) Enter the IP address noted earlier 16) 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. 17) Select Finish 19) Select Apply, and then if you wish, Debug

So you've just installed the S32DS for Vision and are using it for the first time and would like to see how it works. Here is a quick and simple project to get you started.   1. Launch S32DS for Vision 2. Select 'S32DS Application Project' 3. Enter a name for the project 4. Select the 'A53 Linux' processor option 5. Click Next 6. Click Finish 7. Change to C/C++ perspective, click on 'Switch to C/C++ Development' 8. Build the project for Debug 9. Project is now built, ELF file is read to be loaded to EVB for execution. However, if we have not prepared the EVB, we must first complete HOWTO: Setup S32V234 EVB for debugging with S32DS for Vision and Linux BSP. 10. Once the EVB is properly prepared, we must complete HOWTO: Setup A Remote Linux Connection in S32DS for Vision. 11. With the project debug configuration and remote linux connection selected, select the debug dropdown menu and click Debug Configurations 12. Make sure the Debug_Remote_Linux debug configuration is selected and the connection setup in step 10 is selected (points to the IP address of your EVB). Click Debug 13. 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. 14. The executable file is copied to Linux file system and gdbserver starts. 15. The Debug perspective is opened. You can now step through the code*     *Only debugging of the A53 code is supported by Linux GDB. For multicore debugging, including ISP and APEX2, additional debugger and probe(S32 Debugger with S32 Debug Probe, Lauterbach, etc) will be required.

Before you can start debugging an S32DS for Vision project for S32V234 Cortex-A53 APEX2/ISP Linux target on the S32V234-EVB, we must first setup the hardware connections and start the Linux BSP OS. 1) Connect (1) S32V234 USB Micro B port to (2) USB A port on your PC. This allow you to connect to the Linux BSP OS via a terminal program to issue commands and to obtain the IP address. 2) Insert microSDHC card (with U-boot, Linux kernel, devicetree, and root file system loaded*) into (3) the S32V234 SD card slot   3) Connect (1) Ethernet port on S32V234 daughter card to (2) LAN**. This will allow S32DS to communicate with the Linux BSP OS for flashing and GDB debugging.   4) Connect the power supply to (3) S234V234 EVB 5) Turn on the (4) power switch, this will start the Linux BSP OS *Instructions for preparing the SD card are provided in the VisionSDK document: ..\S32DS_Vision_v2.0\S234DS\s234v234_sdk\docs\vsdk\S32V234-EVB_SetupGuide.pdf or refer to https://community.nxp.com/docs/DOC-335023  **Ensure PC is connected to LAN as well (either hardwired or wireless)

Eclipse caches some settings within the workspace directory. After installing a new version of S32DS, some settings in old workspaces may not match the requirement of the new version. The result is often errors reported on new as well as previously existing projects located in an existing workspace which you selected when launching S32DS. The best way to resolve this is to create a new workspace and then import your projects. This will ensure the workspace is created using all the correct settings for the version you have installed.

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.
