Question on the functional difference between FRDM-A-S32K358 and S32K3X8EVB-Q289

[SSSkkkmolea]

I am considering purchasing either the FRDM-A-S32K358 or the S32K3X8EVB-Q289 model. However, what are the hardware differences between the S32K3X8EVB-Q289 and the FRDM-A-S32K358?

I was told in a previous question that the SD card function is implemented on the FRDM-A-S32K358. I want to know if the other pins or features like CAN communication are present on the board. I want to know if they are implemented exactly the same way as the S32K3X8EVB-Q289. I would also like to know if there are any software differences. Or is there a separate circuit diagram? It would be easier for me to make a decision based on that.

Hi

Since this FRDM-A-S32K358 has not yet been officially released, the schematics or hardware manuals are not available for download at this time.

Could you please provide your project and company information separately? Have you signed an NDA? This would allow me to contact internal team to obtain information about the development board in advance.

Currently, I can tell you that the FRDM-A-S32K358 has a CAN interface:
This board integrates NXP’s TJA1043 CAN transceiver, with its output routed to connector J15.
CAN0_RX PTA6
CAN0_TX PTA7

I can only see the initial version of the UM12541 FRDM-A-S32K358 development board internally at this time. I've attached the document's bookmarks to give you a general overview of its features. However, more detailed information will likely require you to sign an NDA or wait for the official release of the FRDM.

Best Regards,
Robin

Our company has an NDA in place. It seems likely that this is possible, but can you confirm if they will process it immediately if I request it via a support ticket?

You are currently using a gmail account and the company information is not visible in the system. Please also provide me with the NDA number separately so I can have a colleague check if the NDA is still valid.
