Design Studio 3.6 code examples

[ogai]

I've used S32 Design Studio 3.5 some time ago. Recently installed DS 3.6 on another computer and little bit confused. DS 3.5 had extensive set of FreeRTOS, TCP/IP and other middleware examples for S32K3 available from "S32DS Project From Example" menu (came from SDK, I believe).

My newly installed DS 3.6 with RTD package has very limited set of examples (mostly low level drivers usage). How can I get more examples into DS 3.6?

I'm interested in FreeRTOS/lwip/mbedtls for S32K388

thanks

Hi @ogai 

To work with RTDs, the first step is to download the RTD update site from the Automotive SW section for S32K3/S32M27x - Real-Time Drivers for Cortex-M. You can access it via the provided link, or by navigating to S32K3 Microcontrollers for Automotive General Purpose > Design Resources > Software > Standard Software. For FreeRTOS, follow the same path but select Reference Software instead of Standard Software.

Once you are on the page, select the required RTD version by clicking on the Download Log prompt. We recommend using the latest, which is currently RTD 5.0.0. After downloading the RTD updatesite.zip, proceed as follows:

1. Open S32 Design Studio and navigate to Help > S32DS Extensions and Updates.
2. Click on Add Update Site, then select the update site you downloaded.
3. The update site will then be available for installation from the same window. This same process applies to FreeRTOS and other packages.

Please note that each package version has specific compatibility requirements, which are detailed in the Release Notes document. You can find this document on the same page where you downloaded the update site.

Clarification: I've used DS3.5 for S32K1xx which came with corresponding SDK. DS 3.6 abandoned concept of SDK, there is only RTD package.
So, the question remains: how to quickstart RTOS/Ethernet with S32K3
