The Flash Programmer feature in S32DS is not available.

[johns_chuang]

Dear Team,

How should I configure the "Flash Programmer" in S32DS to use it? My S32DS can use the Debug function to flash the program to the MCU, but the "Flash Programmer" button in the UI is grayed out and cannot be used. How can I configure it to be functional?

Hi @johns_chuang,

S32 Flash Tool does not completely support S32K3 family yet. You can find the supported devices under C:\NXP\S32DS.3.6.0\S32DS\tools\S32FlashTool\doc\S32_Flash_Tool_Release_Notes.pdf

1.2. Supported devices
Flash Tool provides support for the following NXP devices:
• S32R41
• S32R45
• S32G2xx
• S32G3xx
• S32Z2/E2

Best regards,
Julián

Hi Julián,

May I ask if there are any other methods or user interfaces available to program the S32K3xx, aside from just using Debug?

Thank you for your assistance.

Best,

Johns

Hi @johns_chuang,

If you are using an external debugger, you can use a flashing script instead of the Debug. For example, Lauterbach debugger comes with flashing script when installed: Lauterbach SW Flashing script(.Cmm) for the NXP-S32K322 Micro - NXP Community.

Best regards,
Julián

Hi Julián,

We are using the Universal Multilink recommended on the S32K3 website, but when I inquired with PEmicro, they only offer the paid PROGACMP.

Do you know of any free programming software that can be used with Universal Multilink?

Thank you for your help.

Best,

Johns

Hi @johns_chuang,

PEMicro is responsible for their scripts and SW for programming/debugging. Other than the S32DS IDE debug scripts, I am not familiar with other alternatives.

Debuggers such as J-Link (SEGGER) provides the J-FLASH software which is free of charge.

Best regards,
Julián
