GoldVIP user experience - ACP installation, CAN gateway build

[asap]

S32G GoldVIP user experience - ACP installation how-to, CAN gateway build based on EB ACP tool

note: the experience is based on GoldVIP1.0.0, and related UM/Developer's guide also the S32G GoldVIP training academy videos. on a WINDOWS 10 system.

After several attemps, I finally got my Cortex-M7 project build through ACP (EB tresos).

Some hints for reference:

1. If you have ever installed an EB tresos configuration tool, you might want to make sure the ACP installation will not be affected by the existing installation. (in my case, I have to fully remove my previous EB tresos installation to provide a clean environment. Vlad said you could install the ACP in a different folder in stead of removing the previous install, but my case does not work)
2. EB ACP need to get license activated, refer to below chart:

As a single user, you should use the “activate license key” provided in Flexera (when you download EB ACP through flexera you will see it, if you are using Automotive SW package manager when select the ACP, you will find a link provided which indicating the license activation link. And remember to use the EB client license administrator tool to activate your laptop to use the EB tools.

1. "GoldVIP 1.0.0" name can be supported by ACP windows, while when you went to the launch.bat in cmd line, the space in the directory will be a hardstop. So better to install the GoldVIP into a normal folder name (without special characters, some good e.g. GoldVIP_1.0.0, or GoldVIP1.0.0)
2. EB ACP can be installed in any folder, while if you have already have the EB/tresos folder in your C: disc, i.e., you might already installed other tresos tool before, better create a different folder, or remove the existing /tresos folder first before the ACP installation.
3. During installation of the ACP, you might expect to have the error pop up "path too long", ignore this error, let process carry on by click "OK".
4. The ACP installation finished with "installation had some problems", click "OK". And you will not find the desktop link created -- but you could go to the installed folder to find the tresos_gui.exe and create that link by yourself

Here you find the detail installation step-by-step following UM10.4 onto my laptop:

Step 1. Get ACP installed.

Download works from either Auto SW Package Manager or Flexera – GoldVIP folder.

Ignore it

Ignore it

-->here we still do not have a proper installation done since no startup quick link generated - donot know why. First don’t care it. find the tresos_gui.exe and run it:

Clicked yes

Seems the previous activated license works since system does not pop up an error or request to the license. Close the EB. Otherwise you could refer to the below chart to get activation code and active your license with the administrator tool.

UM10.4 step 2

Install S32DS 3.4. I have done it before, so I don’t need re-install it. the S32DS 3.4 can be found on nxp.com/s32ds, or automotive sw package manager, and Flexera.

Move to the UM10.4 step 3

Replace the McalExt_TS_T40D33M1I0R0 plugin found in the <EB_tresos_install_path>/plugins/

directory with the contents of the McalExt_TS_T40D33M1I0R0.zip archive, which can be found in the

<GoldVIP_install_path>/configuration/can-gw/plugins directory.

Note: EB tresos needs to be restarted after performing this change, in order to load the newly installed plugins.

A suggestion is to delete the full folder of McalExt_TS_T40D33M1I0R0 contents and then extrac/unzip (please avoid using “drag and place”, do unzip directly like showing below chart) the McalExt_TS_T40D33M1I0R0.zip file into the folder.

Now step 4. make sure launch_cfg.bat is correctly edited - since I am using default installation for S32DS 3.4, and EB tresos, so I don’t need to modify the original parameter:

Okay, now move to step 5

Step 6. Load the configuration

Select goldvip-gateway, right click – load configuration.

And generate the project:

Select goldvip-gateway, right click – generate project.

Step 7

You should be ready to build the project. Open a Command Prompt and run the following commands:

cd <GoldVIP_install_path>/configuration/can-gw/workspace/goldvip-gateway/util

launch.bat make -j

To create a binary file from elf run the following command in the same Command Prompt:

C:/NXP/S32DS.3.4/S32DS/build_tools/gcc_v9.2/gcc-9.2-arm32-eabi/arm-none-eabi/bin/

˓→objcopy.exe -S -O binary ../output/bin/CORTEXM_S32G27X_goldvip-gateway.elf ../

˓→output/bin/can-gw.bin

<end>

Penny,

can you try to install ACP in different folder and reactivate? or you could remove all the EB tresos Studio and install the ACP only.

[penny_lin]

Hi Albert:

  I had install ACP in different folder and reactivate , but it still failed.

 And also tried to remove all the EB tresos Studio and install the ACP only. but it also failed when I activate ACP code.

Thank you.

Thanks for the knowledge share from NXP expert. It helps me a lot and I can reproduce the procedure correctly and finally got goldvip-can-gw Cortex-M7 project built successfully through EB-ACP-8.8.3_S32G27X.

Penny_lin, 

You could follow the instruction listed here Licensing – Elektrobit to make the activation.

[penny_lin]

I had the license Administration tool. And I can activation the EB tresos Studio 28.2.0.

But Active EB tresos AutoCore 8.8.3 fail. What is it difference ?

Thank you.
