S32Z NETC Switch Routing

[sebastianwelzel]

Hi all, @carlos_o 

Does anyone have information regarding the NETC on S32Z. I would like to setup a port routing as follows:

- Frames received on Switch Port 0 should be forwarded to PSI0 and vice versa

- Frames received on Switch Port 1 should be forwarded to VSI1 and vice versa

My idea was to enable "Frame Modification" and inservt a VLAN tag to ingress frames on Switch ports. But its hard to configure with the configuration tool without any documentation.

May you have a hint or an idea how to solve my problem?

Regards

Sebastian

Hi @sebastianwelzel,

Thanks for your patience. 

There is a documentation you could start to review about this topic: S32E2 Ethernet Switch and Controller (NETC) Complex Reference Manual (it supports S32Z2 and S32E2, you could find it at the S32E2 product page), also at the RTDs you could see the example Netc_Eth_Ip_ExternalLoopback_S32Z2XX_R52. This example is not external of the hardware the name is for how the structure is applied as following:

To complement this, you should review the application note S32ZE2 NETC Configuration.

Let me know if you have more questions.

Configuring port routing on the S32Z NETC for Switch Port 0 to PSI0 and Switch Port 1 to VSI1, potentially using VLAN tagging, is challenging without configuration tool documentation. Prioritize consulting official NXP documentation (reference manuals, application notes, SDK examples), engaging with the NXP Community forums, and carefully experimenting with the configuration tool while backing up settings. Start with simple port-based forwarding if possible before attempting VLAN tagging. Contacting NXP support might be necessary for specific guidance.

Hi @raymond515 ,

is there a documentation for the configuration tool? And is port based routing possible?
