AMMCLIB vs RTD Dependencies

[RogerFranca]

Hello,

I'm currently working with the S32K344 microcontroller, using S32 Design Studio 3.6 for Windows. I manually added AMMCLIB version 1.1.40 to my project, which is based on RTD 5.0.0.

So far, the project is compiling and linking without issues. However, I’ve only used some of the mathematical functions from the library at this point.

While going through the forums, I noticed that some users were advised to revert to earlier RTD versions due to compatibility concerns with certain AMMCLIB releases.

Could someone kindly confirm if such incompatibilities apply to AMMCLIB 1.1.40?

I reviewed the documentation but couldn’t find a clear reference indicating which RTD versions are officially supported by this AMMCLIB version.

Any clarification would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

Hi Roger,

support for S32 Design Studio 3.6 was added in AMMCLib version 1.1.41, which has been available as update site since July 14, 2025. The latest version is available in this repository: http://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/updates/Eclipse/AMMCLIB/S32DS_3.6

AMMCLib does not depend on RTD APIs and can be used without RTD. However, when you install AMMCLib as a S32DS plugin from the "Extensions and Updates" dialog, you need to have a compatible version of RTD because all S32DS plugins depend on the compilation options set by the RTD. The Eclipse P2 installer will inform you which version of RTD is required if you don't already have it installed.

Hi,

Thank you so much for your interest in our products and for using our community.

Just to be clear, there are 2 ways to install AMMCLIB with S32DS, please refer to the following sections of S32K3XXMCLUG:

2.10 Library Integration into a S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform as a RTD plugin
2.11 Library Integration into a S32 Design Studio for S32 Platform as a standalone package

The RTD plugin way is only available in S32DS 3.5, I have tested AMMCLIB_v1.1.40 with RTD 4.0.0 and with RTD5.0.0 without any issue.

If you are using S32DS 3.6, please follow the standalone way using the *.exe installer.

Please consider that if the user chooses to add the AMMCLib in their S32DS project manually, they take the responsibility to ensure that the compiler options follow the recommendations described in the AMMCLib Release Notes.

Have a nice day!
