The Vision SDK root is contributed to the Design Studio as a dynamic path variable “S32DS_VSDK_DIR”. Several Design Studio services use this variable to access the resources inside the Vision SDK. By default, this variable points to “${eclipse_home}../S32DS/s32v234_sdk”, i.e. to the Vision SDK shipment bundled with Design Studio. Technically you can change this variable to point to another instance of Vision SDK using the following steps: 1. Go to the main menu "Window -> Preferences" 2. Filter the preference dialog with "sub" keyword or just navigate to "Run/Debug -> String Substitution node. 3. Edit Variable "S32DS_VSDK_DIR" to assign another value to be substituted as Vision SDK root 4. Press OK when changes are complete.

One of the many great features of the S32DS 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 EVB2 for debugging with S32DS and Linux BSP  and HOWTO: Setup A Remote Linux Connection in S32DS (S32V234), you are ready to setup the Remote Systems view to connect to the Linux files system to view and access the file system. Prerequisite Before starting this procedure, make sure the BSP is loaded onto the SD Card, the SD Card is inserted into the SD Card Slot, the ethernet cable is connected to both the EVB and the network port, and the EVB is powered up. 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 Right-click menu 4) Select 'SSH Only' 5) Enter the IP address noted from HOWTO: Setup A Remote Linux Connection in S32DS (S32V234) for Host name, enter a descriptive name for the connection (optional) 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 and since the BSP comes with ID root without a set password, leave the password field blank. 😎 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. Expand the folders to see the contents.

S32DS for Vision contains many example projects from which you can learn how S32DS, with the Vision Extension Package for V2xx, 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. In this document, the procedure for creating a project from one of the provided APEX2 examples through to execution on the EVB is detailed. Prerequisite Before following the steps in this HOWTO, ensure you have the Vision Extension Package for V2xx (as well as the S32V2xx development package) installed to S32DS. 1) Launch S32DS 2) Select 'New S32DS Project from example' 3) Select apex2_fast9 project 4) Click Finish 5) Select apex2_fast9: A53 in the Project Explorer panel. Build the project using build config 'TEST_A53'. 6) Start a debug session using method as described in HOWTO: Create A53 Linux Project in S32DS for Vision, beginning at step 9. 7) Click Resume  Should see something similar to what is pictured below There are green diamonds at the corners in the image as identified by the fast9 corner detection algorithm

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 either the A53 or the TEST_A53 build options. 3) The project is now built and the ELF file is ready to be loaded to the EVB for execution. Before a debug session can be started, we must complete HOWTO: Setup A Remote Linux Connection in S32DS (S32V234). Start A53 Debug 4) Select the debug drop-down menu and click Debug Configurations     5) 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     6) The first time you connect to a new IP address (i.e. the first time you debug after creating a new workspace), 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. 7) 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 elsewhere in the code. 😎 Press Resume twice, so that the breakpoint which was set at apu_hal_enable() is reached for the 2nd time. 9) 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.     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) Click Apply then Debug. It may take a few moments for the APEX core debug to launch.   12) 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. 13) 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. 14) To step through a kernel, locate the call to the kernel function in the graph function and set a break point on the line. 15) Press RESUME to advance the program counter to the new break point 16) 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. 17) You may need to help the IDE to locate the source files. Now you can see the kernel wrapper function... and the kernel! 18) Step through, monitor variables and registers and set breakpoints.

Additional packages for alpha customers are available based on Flexera entitlement and can be installed on top of S32 Design Studio 3.6.4 using Extension and Updates. S32DS NXP compiler (GCC) delivery: Starting with S32DS 3.6.4, only GCC 11.4 will be delivered as part of the installer. The older versions of NXP compiler are still available on the web update site https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/updates/Eclipse/S32DS_3.6 and can be added via S32DS Extensions and Updates. S32DS Modular installer: S32DS 3.6.4 comes with a new custom installation type for both new and upgrade installations allowing users to customize their installation. This change provides greater flexibility and enables a faster, lighter installation tailored to user needs. Note: As part of the new modular setup, components are no longer bundled, and they will not be installed by other packages anymore (e.g. installing a Development package will not update S32Debugger as well), users will have to explicitly select components to be installed/updated. For example, on S32K3xx development package, users must also select the new S32 Design Studio Debugger Core to get the latest debugger updates. S32DS portable installation: S32DS 3.6.4 new installations can be moved in different locations other than the original installation directory and still run without having to change any properties inside S32DS. If moving to different machines check S32DS_Installation_Guide Chapter 4.4, to install any missing drivers. S32 Flash Tool GUI has been removed from the S32 Design Studio installation: Command-line tools are still included in S32DS. Users who need the GUI can install the standalone Flash Tool application from its own separate catalog S32 Flash Tool for S32 Platform. S32DS Docker images: In the S32DS 3.6.4 Flexera product page you will see 2 Docker files, for Windows and Linux, which are samples for how to setup S32DS inside a Docker image. For Linux we provide examples with or without GUI, for Windows only command line interface is available. Docker files use the S32DS installer directly to build the image, no existing installation is needed. Check out S32DS_Installation_Guide Chapters 6 and 7 for additional details on how to setup and use this.   Platform IDE and UI The latest release of Platform IDE introduces several enhancements and a wide range of bug fixes to improve stability and usability: The New Project Wizard now displays a visual decorator next to each NPI to show whether the selected GCC version is installed. S32 Design Studio now detects if a project references a missing GCC version or S32 Debugger. If so, an error appears in the Problems view with a Quick Fix option. Clicking it will automatically install the missing tool with minimal user input. The Memory Spaces view now also displays the address where the monitor is set, even when monitoring is disabled. Users can now connect to an already running GTA instance instead of launching a new one. This can be configured in S32 Debugger configuration by unchecking the Launch Server option.   Major Features for NPIs S32K3 Family Enabled support for S32K324 on VDK R2.0.0 and S32K388 on VDK R6.0.0.

Product Release Announcement Analog & Automotive Embedded Systems S32 Design Studio 3.6.3   The Analog & Automotive Embedded Systems (AAES) - Software Development Tools Engineering Team at NXP Semiconductors is pleased to announce the release of the S32 Design Studio 3.6.3 with support for: AMCU AP RAS S32K3 Family S32G Family S32R41 Family S32K1 Family S32ZE Family S32R45 Family S32M2 Family       Major Features for S32 Design Studio 3.6.3 Installer S32 Design Studio 3.6.3 is delivered with all public NPI's in a single 3GB installer to improve first time user experience. Additional packages for alpha customers are available based on Flexera entitlement and can be installed on top of S32 Design Studio 3.6.3 using Extension and Updates.     Added optional driver installation where user can customize the debugging functionalities.   Platform IDE and UI The latest release of Platform IDE introduces several enhancements and a wide range of bug fixes to improve stability and usability: S32 Config Tools can now generate Real Time Drivers code directly from the main S32 Design Studio perspective. A new context menu option, "Update Code and Build Project", has been added next to "Build Project" in the main S32DS perspective. When selected, this option automatically launches S32CT, triggers RTD code generation, and prepares the project for building—all without requiring the user to switch views. This enhancement significantly improves usability and streamlines the workflow between S32CT and RTD inside S32DS. In headless mode, the SDK_PATH environment variable is automatically set, with clear error reporting if any issues occur. As a result, projects with an attached SDK (such as RTD projects) that build successfully in S32 Design Studio IDE will also build from the command line without requiring manual configuration of SDK_PATH. The S32 Debugger configuration now offers an improved user experience by automatically selecting the appropriate launch configuration based on the currently selected project, rather than defaulting to the previously used one. This enhancement reduces the configuration time and the overall debugging process for users. Based on internal customer feedback, all SoC families are now kept collapsed by default in the New Project Wizard. Users can expand only the desired SoC family, resulting in a cleaner interface and more efficient use of space. Debugger performance has been improved when stepping over with registers expanded in the Watch Registers view. Previously, background operations in this view could create the impression that the debugger was stuck. This problem has now been resolved, resulting in a smoother debugging experience.   Major Features for NPIs S32K3 Family Added S32K356 phantom with supported toolchains in the S32K3xx development package. Enabled debug functionalities for S32K356 with Lauterbach and S32Debugger(blind). Enabled semihosting functionality on Lauterbach for multicore debug scenarios.
