Cannot Connect to S32K144 (Neither FreeMaster nor S32DS)

[user8]

I have an S32K144 board that is not running the standard demo SW (blinking LED demo). I am not sure what (if anything) is already flashed on the board. I tried flashing and debugging an example (S32K144_Project_Hello) onto the board using S32DS but that fails.

His is my debugger setting

I also tried connecting using the FreeMaster connection wizard. But that failed also (No board detected on any of the specified...):

Searching online I saw that for FreeMaster to connect, it requires the board to already have some SW running on it. But I could not find any .mot project file for me to drop into the board in USB mode.

Any advice on how I can flash my board?

Hi

Do not use S32K144_Project_Hello, you should load S32K144_EVB_JumpStart_Firmware.
I have attached the S32K144_EVB_JumpStart_Firmware.srec, you can flash it and then connect with FreeMaster by refer:

Current, when I have my board connected to my PC (via usb) there is a solid green light. If I paste S32K144_EVB_JumpStart_Firmware.srec into the board's USB drive I see the LED flash green 8 times followed by a two second pause. This flashing and pausing just repeats.

Do I need to reset the board to Bootloader mode and then copy over S32K144_EVB_JumpStart_Firmware.srec?

2 seconds off followed by 8 rapid on/off blinks shows the Application is Error.

Please try to restore Application of OpenSDA by refer: What is the power supply voltage range over which the S32K144EVB-Q100 can operate?

Then drop the S32K144_EVB_JumpStart_Firmware.srec in USB drive.(The srec file in last reply may incorrect, I have update it. Please download it again.)

Best Regards,
Robin

Same problem as described in the first question however mine is for the s32k116evb board  and upon copying the .srec file, I get the 2 seconds followed by 8 rapid blinks. The restoration of OpenSDA application isn't a viable solution as there is nothing concrete explained there apart from changing the power source which directly doesn't solve the issue.

I am experiencing the same issue. I have the correct application version, bootloader version etc. on the board.

If I try to flash the board via the flash drive and drop method you described, it still remains in error mode.
