How do I debug an externally built executable using S32ds ?

[Ashish4525]

Dear all,

I built an exe executable for the S32k118EVB. I did not create this executable from within S32DS IDE. Still, I would like to debug it from within S32DS IDE. How do I load the exe file in the S32DS IDE and debug the executable on a target (S32k118EVB). Can this be done?

Hi @Ashish4525,

You can import an executable through Design Studio, follow the "Importing an executable" chapter from the S32DS User Guide (under "C:\nxp\S32DS.3.5_RTD_4.0.0\S32DS\help\pdf").

You can also follow the HOWTO: download separate elf/srec/hex file to microcontroller using S32 Design Studio guide, which creates a separate Flash Configuration (Debug Configuration in S32DS 3.5) and uploads the elf file form a new project.

Best regards,
Julián
