Installing RTD for S32K312

[durga_choudhury]

I am trying to set up a dev environment for the S32K312, on S32 Design Studio v 3.6.6 as follows:

1. Downloaded SW32K3_S32M27x_RTD_R23-11_7.0.1_D2603_DesignStudio_updatesite.zip

2. Opened 'S32Extensions and Updates' on S32 Design Studio 3.6.6 running on Windows 11 and installed S32K3 real time drivers as shown:

 3. Restarted the IDE when prompted (I have tried rebooting the PC also)

With this, I cannot see support for the K3 family. The 'New Project' dialog does not show this as an option:

If I try to install the 'S32K3XX' drivers, as shown below:

I get an error as shown below:

Now repeating this whole process on S32DS v 3.6.2 is slightly better: now I have an option for the K312 listed in the 'New Project' dialog, but there are no SDK for it listed:

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @durga_choudhury 

From your S32DS 3.6.6 installation, it appears that the S32K3 Development Package is not installed.

Regarding S32DS 3.6.2, please note that RTD 7.0.1 was developed and validated using S32DS 3.6.4. Therefore, we recommend using S32DS 3.6.4 or a newer release to ensure compatibility and avoid potential issues.

Something additional to verify is the toolchain. When creating your project, make sure that NXP GCC 10.2.0 is installed and selected as the project toolchain.

BR, VaneB

Hi @VaneB 

Please provide some elaboration on your comment.

I see that I have a 'development package' for the S32K1xx' installed (which is also a MCU family I use):

But I see nothing similar for the K3.

So how do I install it? To re-iterate, what I have done so far is:

1. Downloaded SW32K3_S32M27x_RTD_R23-11_7.0.1_D2603_DesignStudio_updatesite.zip 

2. Added it as an update site on S32 DS v 3.6.6

3. Installed the following:

Hi @durga_choudhury 

The screenshot is from my S32DS 3.6.10 installation; however, you should see a similar setup in your IDE.

Also, based on the screenshot you shared, I can see that you were able to install RTD 7.0.1. Since RTD 7.0.1 depends on the S32K3 Development Package, it is likely that the package has already been installed.

Hi @VaneB 

Unfortunately I don't have an equivalent on S32DS 3.6.6, and I have tried downgrading the RTD version to 6.0.0 (from 7.0.1).

Is there a specific version that will work on 3.6.6?

[VaneB]

Hi @durga_choudhury 

From my setup, I have RTD 7.0.0 installed with S32DS 3.6.6. However, as previously mentioned, RTD 7.0.1 should work without any issues, since the setup is very similar across these versions.

Could you please share your installation details?

Hi @VaneB 

Here are the two files I have tried (with both having the same issue):

Here is the information about the S32DS:

Here are some of the installation details, as much as fits on a single screen shot. Do you need any other information?

Hi @durga_choudhury 

Could you please try the following? In S32DS, go to Help → Install New Software.... This will open the installation window. In the Work with: field, enter the following update site:

https://www.nxp.com/lgfiles/updates/Eclipse/S32DS_3.6 

A list of available updates should appear, similar to the shown below. Check if you can find S32 Design Studio S32K3xx Development Package in the list and try installing it.

If the package does not appear or the installation is unsuccessful, I would recommend updating to the latest S32DS version. It is possible that the current installation is missing some components or that something became corrupted during installation/update.

Hi @VaneB 

Thanks for your support. Can you please double check the URL? If I try to update it from this, I get an error from S32 DS, as follows:

durga_choudhury_0-1789063889394.png

If I try to access it over a REST-type application, e.g. wget, I get a HTTP error 404 (Not found).

Could it be internal to NXP (i.e. not on a public facing server)?

Hi @durga_choudhury 

Please note that the provided link is not a regular web address. It corresponds to an update site used by S32DS to access available software packages and updates.

To view the complete update sites list, open the S32DS Extensions and Updates window and select Manage Sites. There you will find all update sites recognized by the IDE.

Hi @VaneB 

Unfortunately it is not working for me:

Hi @durga_choudhury 

Could you please test this on another machine?

Additionally, it may be worth checking with your IT team to verify that there are no firewall, proxy, or security policies in place that could be blocking access to the update sites.
